I'm sure this must be a joke, or I would question your relationship with God. I dont put up a tree (or not) depending on what the pastor says, that would be a relationship with the pastor not with God.

I'd love to hear you preach sometime, and share a cup of coffee. You can even have your own cup ;-)

Re: We're Not Putting X-Mas Trees Up!
Here's something interesting that I found....I never knew this...but even "gift giving" is a pagan practice...
CHRISTMAS GIFT GIVING Gift giving is one of the oldest customs associated with Christmas: it is actually older than the holiday itself. When the date of Christmas was set to fall in December, it was done at least in part to compete with ancient pagan festivals that occurred about the same time. The Romans, for example, celebrated the Saturnalia on December 17. It was a winter feast of merrymaking and gift exchanging. And two weeks later, on the Roman New Year--January 1, houses were decorated with greenery and lights, and gifts were given to children and the poor. As the Germanic tribes of Europe accepted Christianity and began to celebrate Christmas, they also gave gifts.

No real problem exists over the use of "The Name" in everthing else done in the Church. Why then should there exist great controversy over the use of the "The Name of the Godhead" in water baptism?
