  • The tree at Xmas was a pagan ritual; the Church rescheduled the birth of Christ and its celebration and integrated the tree in order to lure the pagans into the church...also with the Easter egg and bunny which are symbols of fertility celebrated by pagans in the spring. The lady's delusion about the Xmas tree being Christian shows how people believe things without knowing the background. Everyone should be welcome Atheists, free thinkers, Spiritualists non Western Religions.

  • Wow. This was very refreshing. While I (very) much understand the frustration we non-believers feel towards religiosity, I could wish we all presented ourselves as calmly, and kindly as the people in this video did. Honey and vinegar and all that. We are not going to win people over by calling them names and getting them all defensive. Many of us, like myself, are recovering christians.

    Thank you for posting this video.

  • I guess many have never looked into the origins of tne Xmas tree.

  • This lady hasn't got a clue as to what is the tkge, if she did, she would not say that.

  • mind/brain knowledge is NOT wisdom.

    there are no mixture of religions. there are ONLY two religions: the Truth (Christ's teachings & salvation of man from sin & hell), and false religions (everything else that is not true Christianity including atheism, hinduism to satanism etc).

    There are some who are still trapped in the latter, but they will be saved out of it by Christ because they have a heart that seeks the Truth

    You can drown with your theories but God's words will STAND to eternity!

  • GREAT IDEA!

  • Unfortunately, doing this is a real fight this year. The County Commissioners have taken over control of the display and are looking to buy (with taxpayer money, one presumes) Christmas and Hanukkah displays, but disallowing competing displays like the Tree of Knowledge. Apparently, only Christians and Jews are allowed representation in Chester County.

  • i would like to see a kwanza candle up your ass old ass lady.

    dont ever say stupid shit like dont listen to the bible.. that is very wrong!

  • Like Laura Bush with better hair and a mind unclouded by delusion.

  • Puts a smile on my face.

  • Excellent video... Peaceful representation of atheism

  • Your country is free? You have a friend that is a professor? Here is a question to test both of those concepts:

    What is a State? (No opinions, just facts, please.)
