Christmas Tree vs Holiday Tree

Which one is it?

I think doobie is serious.

Then we may have a problem. Jehovah's witnesses don't recognize Christmas for a number of reasons. I don't blame them considering how the modern holiday has little to do with Christ. I'm pretty damn sure that Christ would be appalled at people fighting and even dying to get a dumb gift over a day incorrectly assigned as his birth date. I feel that the Jews are far more adherent to Hanukkah then many Christians are to Christmas.

My best friend is a native American. Pure blood Indian Sioux. Every time I see a 20 dollar bill I get a little pissed.
 
Did not vote as a tree is a tree is a tree. Call it what you want but it is still a festively decorated tree, lol.
 
Don't even get me started. We practice so many pagan rituals under the guise of Christianity that it's hard not consider Christianity has nothing more then a religion that stole most of its ideas from other religions. Hell, Virgin Birth? Jacked. Omnipotent God of Good Vs Evil? Totally ripped off. Giant Flood? Thievery!

Christianity is based upon the NEw Testament (the Gospels) - there is no mention of great floods in the New Testament

On the other points you are correct that there is precedence in what the GOspels say.

The virgin birth and the ressurection can be found in ancient Greek stories centuries earlier (and on more than one occassion).
 
Has the Mayor of Nazareth banned Christmas trees or not?

No. The mayor or equivalent in one suburb there has, but most of the city can have xmas trees. It is always good to check facts.

Not quite right. Christianity is based(largely though not entirely) on the old and new testament.
 
Getting Something for Nothing Tree!
 
I've always called it a Christmas tree. I don't care if someone wants to call it a holiday tree though.
 
After the stupidity of this thread in that people even care what the stupid tree is called (get over it people, there are real issues out there to think about).

I am going to start calling it a third week of december tree.

I see

And that makes everything Okay?

Are you aware of any other SUBURBS in the world or Mayors that have placed a similar ban on Christmas Trees?

Or is this particular Jewish Mayor in Israel?

I do not care since it is their country and they can do as they please. It's a ****ing tree, who really cares.

Yes it is their country

interesting dichotomy dont you think?

Our state department is telling other countries to put up Christmas trees?
 
It has to do with rigidity and closed-mindedness vs. flexibility and real understanding of the issues.
Right. Your biased, idiot, notion of Conservatives and Liberals. Congratulations Captain Coourtesy, you've managed to capture and convey your true understanding of the issues in one fell swoop! ;)

According to the public records and numerous PMs, your stance on this issue is crystal clear

Are you saying that you wish to reverse your stance?
