So you tell me where in the Bible it says that Christmas trees have absolutely ANY value? Its a man made tradition that is synonymous with Christmas because of traditions. But it has absolutely no value religiously. Which was the entire point of what I said. You simply misread it.


Flood, its always the bible with you. The bible this the bible that. Why is that?

Almost every topic that gets opened, you manage to get the bible into it, why?

It does not matter wether the topic warrants a biblical mention or not, you still manage it. What about all other Religious books or dont you acknowledge them and their religions? Are you so narrow minded that the Bible is the be all and end all?

Ive said to you before, the bible is a story based around a specific person, in a specific time,in a specific place, by specific people, for a specific purpose.

Back to Christmas Trees. If Christians want a Christmas tree then who the F*ck are others to worry about it. If you dont like it then dont look at the tree. Better still keep those people in their houses for the whole of festive period.

The baubles, candles, angel and star, all have Christian conortations. A Christmas tree without those additions is simply a fir tree. Therefore I would be very surprised if the tree had none of the above.

Oh look what google gives. Oh no its not the bible so it must be wrong.

The Legend of the First Christmas Tree

The night of the Saviour's birth, all the living creatures, both flora and fauna, came to Bethlehem with gifts. The olive tree brought its fruit and the palm its dates. But the little fir tree had no gift and was so tired it couldn't resist when the big trees pushed it into the background and hid it from view. But then a nearby angel took pity and commanded a cluster of stars to come and rest on its delicate boughs. When the Baby Jesus beheld this lovely lighted tree, He smiled and blessed it, declaring henceforth that fir trees should always be filled with lights at Christmastime to please little children.
