[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ummmm..."all the evidence" shows that the tree has pagan roots like many aspects of Christianity, and then was adopted and imbued with Christian meaning....so yeah your narcissism in insisting that there is no Christian significance to the tree (although millions of Christians disagree) is weird...

"That [the tree] became a symbol of Christ — being triangular in shape it represents the trinity — and from there came the idea that the tree should be a symbol of Christ and new life," Dr Wilson said."That's one of the main origins of the Christmas tree and bringing it into the house."

Dude, did you read the link you posted?

Here are the first three sentences from it:

[i]Evergreen trees and plants have been used to celebrate winter festivals for thousands of years, long before the advent of Christianity.

Pagans in Europe used branches of evergreen fir trees to decorate their homes and brighten their spirits during the winter solstice.

Early Romans used evergreens to decorate their temples at the festival of Saturnalia, while ancient Egyptians used green palm rushes as part of their worship of the god Ra.[/i]

That's from YOUR OWN LINK.[/quote]
