Out of boredom, I just listened to an hour or so of Alex Jones and within a few minutes he was ranting about Christians not being allowed to put up Christmas trees or something and then moaning about paganism and the one world religion.
Jeez! This guy is so fucked up he is starting to fuck me up. For a moment or two, I thought I was following his Amerocentric donut [sic] logic. Jones is whinging about the forthcoming one world religion which, if it is true, is a fair point - though I am generally pretty agnostic. And I personally loathe Christmas because, in my opinion, if Jesus Christ was the son of God, I am pretty goddam certain that he wouldn't want us celebrating his birthday with the grossest festival of consumerism, gluttony and covetousness.
But surely any fule kno that the 'Christmas' tree has its origins in German paganism, no? So Jones is bleating that he isn't allowed to celebrate Christmas in a pagan way whilst complaining about the pagan way that Christmas is celebrated. Or what?
And that notwithstanding, there is a long running assertion that hacking down trees, decorating them and lauding them is prohibited in the Bible, Jeremiah 10 1-10, to be precise.
Jones evidently wants his Christmas cake and eat it.
