[Spridgets] Christmas Tree . . What Religion?

[Larry Daniels]

Yeah, can we now drop the religion and politics?

Shit!   I'm missing Cap'n Bob.

Well, OK, it ain't that bad, yet.  But dammit, it's getting close.

Nothing like taking scripture out of context... You shoulda bin a
preacher, Kirk ;-)
The passage in question is dealing with carving idols out of the tree,
NOT with decorating Christmas trees. Even the Non-Inspired Version
will convey that if you let it finish. I don't see many people
worshiping their Christmas trees either.
