The red bulbs represent the apples from the Tree of Life, and the sins that Jesus took with him on the cross, which is the tree
~sigh~ Yes, I know the Bible doesn't make reference to a specific fruit, but its what the bulb represents, not whether it was an apple or an orange, which is irrelevant because the story of Adam and Eve is symbolical
I'm an atheist, but fuck it I like presents and playing carols with my brass quintet and turkey with cranberry sauce and shit.
Merry Christmas.
Merry Christmas.
I am not a religious man, but I do not condemn religion. I accept it, even when I was a Christin youth. But I still celebrate x-mas because I believe it is a progressive social practice that is important. This belief includes any and all other holidays that bring people together.
I find it kinda funny that Atheist will argue to the death that God isn't real
but will gladly Celebrate his son's birthday to get presents and shit

Christmas day was stolen from the pagans by the Christians. It was originally Saturnalia, a pagan festival. Even the act of decorating trees was taken from the pagans. Biblical scholars place Jesus' birth (assuming he even existed) sometime in the spring, so even you aren't celebrating it for Jesus' birthday, rather just following tradition as well.
Matthew 7:1 - "Do not judge, or you too will be judged." NIV

Wait is the tree in his house? If it's in his house I don't care if he has mutilated doll heads hanging from it, it's his choice. Even if its outside on his property, everyone has a right to express their religion. I'm not religious but if I want a god damn nativity scene I'll put up a god damn nativity scene. If the tree was on the front lawn and had a sign around it that was like "CONVERT OR YOUR FIRST BORN SHALL BE BURNED ON YOUR OWN MENORAH" then I see the issue, but something as simple as a tree is no ones god damn business.
I don't think many people get mad about the trees, they get more mad about things like the Nativity Scene, which explicitly promote the religion.

Um, Christmas trees have nothing to do with religion, as a Christan you don't seem to even know much about your own religion?
Also no one gives a shit, the war on Christmas is fake.

Christmas isn't a real christian holiday, Jesus was born in September, a Pegan god was born in december and thus the Pegans had a festival to celebrate, but when the christian church brought the Pegans in the needed to allow them to celebrate their festival so they gave them a christian reason, giving gifts was started by a german saint that had nothing to do with religion, same with the tree

no, what he is saying is that she doesn't find the ideals of his religion offensive. what she finds offensive is that he doesn't have the same religious ideals. this is how it is with most folks who practice hate on those who don't share religious beliefs. chances are if you were to ask someone who is against any religion pick one why they don't like that religion the answer you will get most of the time is just a simply because they are wrong.
