Why do Christians put up saturnalia trees? 😝😝
A fun tradition is a fun tradition.
Lol it's so deeply ingrained right in front of everyone's nose. Magic Santa, magic reindeer, magic elves and that's just the stuff before propaganda like Rudolph and Frosty came around.
God forbid I get a Harry Potter book on Christmas and being magical thinking into this mess.
Old St.Nic is only dressed in red cause of coca-cola, more a capitalist celebration than a Christian one at this point
Santa Claus is 100% a marketing character invented to sell soda water.
Why do Christians? Jesus was born in the summer.
Because Christmas is as much about Christianity as my rear end. It's a nice festivity that comes from old customs, and nobody has a problem with keeping the nicer parts of culture and customs while filtering out the crappy parts.
One thing that isn't in the Bible? Christmas.
I personally think it’s fantastic when, every Dec 25th, the world comes together to celebrate Isaac Newton’s birthday.
Except that according to the Gregorian Calendar he was born January 4th, 1643.
You’re a mean one, Mr. Grinch.
when the sciencemas tree gets filled with presents by darwin claus
Well, the bible (old testament?) explicitly prohibits cutting and decorating a tree for religious traditions ... the better question would be: Why are the christians putting up trees on christmas?
Does it really? Do you happen to have the verse? That’ll be absolutely perfect for my in laws…
Kings James version (see link for others):
Hear ye the word which the Lord speaketh unto you, O house of Israel. Thus saith the Lord: “Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain; for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the ax. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Thank you!!!!
