O Christmas tree O Christmas tree...

Allo Allo,

So I just got back fromNew Jersey and my fiance's family for Thanksgiving. Long long trip involving a 13 hour drive! It was a good time even with the slight accident we had in the mountains >:( All is well though and I had plenty of time to consider the random news of the week.

The news highlight that got me thinking was the renaming of the christmas tree in some random city that I can't remember at the moment. It was to be named the holiday tree in respect to the numerous religions and their respective holidays in the month of December. Now some deemed this as unnecessary while others furthered it and said that it was an attack on Christianity. Now, I believe in Jesus Christ and would consider myself a christian if it weren't for the fact that most of the people that so readily dub themselves a christian are biggots and ignorant hypocrits. I say most in the relative term of my life experiences not relative to the sheer population of Christians in this world.

The person who was most notably calling this an attack on christianity was Jerry Falwell. By now he should really know not to say something stupid, but we all get the chance more than once in life and I'm no better...still Note to all Christians: Do you even know the origin of the "christmas" tree? It's the Yule tree a complete Pagan icon. I'll say this once and only once to Jerry and the rest of the crew that deem this an attack on christianity. "Christianity" has been burning Pagans and nonbelievers at the stake for thousands of years (metaphoricaly and truthfully speaking)...the very least you can do is not steal their icons. Right? By all factual accounts Jesus Christ wasn't even born in the month of December.
How about actually being a christian? How about the respect for other religions when the iconology you fight over isn't even yours to begin with?

ay ay ay.....Happy Holiday folks, be safe and may the God of your fathers richly bless you.
