Christmas trees are the living embodiment of Christ for Christians.[/quote]

Really?  Because in many years of religious school and education, which included much study of symbology and idolization with things like the cross, the fish, palms, and many more, not once was anything mentioned about decorated fir trees having a connection to Christ.  I am pretty sure there is nothing in the bible about it either.  It's as religious as Easter eggs -- meaning not at all.

Really? Your poor religious school teachers told you Christmas is not a Christian holiday and that the Christmas tree has no connection to Christ - that the tree was a pagan symbol of a solstice and that Easter is a pagan holiday and than Eastern eggs have no religious significance- We call BS.

[quote=Anonymous]Maybe for you it’s a simple shrine to American materialism[/quote]

It's nothing of the sort, it is an important symbol of the celebration for the solstice and the family gathered around it.  Your insults do nothing to strengthen your weak argument.

Really? Your family is celebrating a pagan solstice? We call BS.

[quote=Anonymous]I doubt you would find a Christian religious leader who would agree there’s no Christian import to the tree. [/quote]

Any can claim that it does, but without historical backing and evidence it is no different than a Scientologist claiming 4th of July fireworks are his religious symbol.[/quote]

Really, despite historical backing and evidence and actual Christians who say Christmas is a Christmas holiday and that the Christmas tree is a symbol of this Christmas holiday celebrating Christ - you claim Christmas is a pagan solstice tradition because your arrogant self says its so and that any import ascribed by Christmas doesn't matter because of your own narcissism? We call BS. [/quote]
