It's absurd to say Christmas trees "stand for sin".
"Stand for" = "signifies" = "communicates via symbols."
A tree (or a flower or a hat or a pumpkin or a flag or a road sign or anything else) "signifies" something only when a particular symbolism is intended by the giver, and apprehended by the receiver.
If neither the person who displays the object, nor the person who sees it, intends it to signify such-and-such a concept, then it does not signify that concept.
It depends on an agreement with the "giver" and the "receiver" about what it means.
Therefore the Satanist's tree stands for sin.
And mine does not.

Why would Satanists sponsor a CHRIST-mas tree?

Oh. And here I thought it was to mark the birth of the Son of Man.
I guess all those hymns are wrong.

Yehova has said in his word many times that he despises “christmas trees.”

Hymns offer much nonsense, and rarely a shred of Biblical truth.

I can't find "Christmas trees" in my Bible concordance.
Chapter and verse?

“It could be anything from kids, to people who don’t agree with our viewpoint to people who are actually in agreement with us and think that our ornaments are cool,” said Chavoor,.... If they put the 'tree' up 30 times and run our of money redoing it - they might get some insight into why the rest of us don't appreciate the evilness involved in theft... or maybe they're too vile to catch that...

Obviously they not called christmas trees. (there is no christmas in scripture either, under that name, but the day is condemned for its evil traditions)
But they are mentioned by most of the prophets, mostly as “groves” or Ashta trees.
They are an abomination.

Isn’t a satanic group griping about someone raiding ther ‘Christmas Tree’ in the same field as a person calling a cop and complaining they gave 20 bucks to the guy on the corner for some weed/dope or whatever and they didn’t come back?
Or complaining to the police that the local bookie didn’t pay off a bet?

Poor analogy; Satanism isn’t illegal.

“It could be anything from kids, to people who don’t agree with our viewpoint to people who are actually in agreement with us and think that our ornaments are cool,”I suspect the later.
"Dude! A pentagram Christmas ornament! That's awesome! I gotta have this!"

Wow. Thanks for setting me straight on that. I thought they were the “joyful noise” the psalmist called for.

The “joyful noise” cannot be one that tells a lie!
That is the adversary’s noise.
