But to everyone who knows what it represents it is stupid that Churchians celebrate a Roman Catholic sacrament and then mock the Catholics.
What irony!

The Commandment of the Lord...
Exodus 20:4-6
4Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.
5Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me;
6And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments.
The key is that we don't decorate a Christmas tree and bow down to it. It's just a seasonal decoration like flowers on the mantle in Spring time.
But here's something very real...if you observe a Catholic "communion" with a wafer and grape juice as opposed to the Biblical "Lord's Supper" as the Apostles....you're actually practicing a Catholic ritual at perhaps what should be a most sacred moment of remembrance and fellowship.
If putting up a Christmas tree makes me pagan...munching a communion wafer makes you Catholic. Break out your rosery and practice your Hail Mary's my brother.
