What a display of heathen craziness.
Crass commercialism as a huge tree is celebrated by wild-eyed fascination with pop singers.
All supposedly done in the name of our Savior.
Now some misguided soul is singing "Beautiful" the Christina Aguilera song.
What a mockery.
God help us all.
Grumpypants award of the night.
It’s not a lot different than those old Der Bingle and Como specials when you think about it. They’re just using today’s stars. I enjoyed it.
Oh. The Rockefeller Center tree lighting. I thought we were talking about actual Wiccan stuff. Pentagrams, fire circles, fat pierced goth lesbians chanting and dancing around in the altogether, that sort of thing.
Gee, I didn’t know Christmas was a tenet of our faith... the world will be the world, don’t be too disappointed when it doesn’t revere the Holy...
Going back a long way...
Jeremiah 10:2-6 KJV
2. Thus 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.
3. For 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.
4. They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
5. They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
6. Forasmuch as there is none like unto thee, O LORD; thou art great, and thy name is great in might.
Are you sure your not talking about the mass at my parish church?
