The Bible was the first to declare war on the Pagan Holiday Tree!
I often wonder what % of Christians actually know this verse is in the Bible? It really appears the Bible was the first to declare war on the so-called Xmas Tree!

Jeremiah 10:2-5 (King James Version)

2Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.

3For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.

4They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.




Check out my Xmas (Pagan) Tree eCard!

Feel free to copy and send it to family & friends but make sure you send it to as many Christians as possible!

1. I have a feeling if I sent that card to my relatives who are christian
that they would take it the wrong way then its intended. it would be like "SEE Christmas trees are in the bible they are not pagan"
or something like that. but ill print it out and send it to a few to see their reaction.

2. That would be interesting...
The Christians I show it to are shocked at first and then with a little time or maybe they ask somone else then they come back with the "work-a-round" that it is OK to have a Xmas Tree as long as you do not worship it. LOL!

Gotta love how they read their own religious text!
