I’m looking at my tree and my decorated mantel right now....they’re beautiful. I really doubt the Lord is angered by these harmless, pretty things.

And I believe He is. If Christmas were about Christ; charity, love, giving, sharing the gospel and praising and worshiping Him and thanking the Almighty for bringing Jesus into the world that would be wonderful. Santa, reindeer, lying to our children about where the gifts come from, endless shopping and spending, over the top decorations, over indulgence of food and alcohol, none of those things honor Him and have nothing to do with His birth. You can’t have it both ways. When atheists and agnostics are celebrating Christmas, that should be a huge clue something is wrong here.

Sorry, the idea that putting up a tree in my living room removes Christ from the season for me is just, well....stupid.

So you think God is angered by a decorated mantle and a Christmas tree? Really? That thought is so goofy in do many ways....I can’t really respond . It would be like debating a wack job on the subway.
