We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!

To me this misses the point.

It isn't, by the most far flung stretch of the imagination, a position that one worships the tree. That is ludicrous.

When the pagans brought the tree into their home long before Christ was born they didn't worship the tree either. The tree was brought into their homes as a part of their worship and remembrance of their pagan deities.

The issue, to me is that this practice, whose roots is clearly in pagan instruction and not in biblical standing, has been made a part of ones worship of the true and living God.

Of course no one is worshiping the tree... that would be ridiculous to even suggest such.

You seem to contradict yourself here???
