...Christmas, the way it is celebrated in this country today, does nothing to add to the story of Jesus or the Kingdom and in some ways takes away from the story of Jesus Christ by making the Christians who celebrate it with our current traditions look by turns, historically inaccurate, silly and superstitious as well as greedy and gluttonous...
Or, "bowing down and serving." Aquila? I would say this characterizes most of the people in America? "Christians" included. Heck, ME included, until just recently, although I never got way into it. But I have only recently become holier than thou here, so pardon...

You bowed down and served a tree! ROFL!
Dude... ancient pagans reveal what God meant by this. They treated their idols as though they were scientient beings. They bathed them, left food out for them, massaged them, tried to "please" them physically, waged wars to build greater temples for them. They sang to them. Talked to them. Prayed to them. Worshipped and adored them. They held "festivities" around their idols to "arouse" the god. To equate this grave sin to putting up a plastic tree and throwing lights on it to make the house look pretty is just... silly to me. lol
