Why do people pay to chop down so many trees for pagan-based rituals? I mean, I know the answer is tradition, even if the tradition is opposite to what they purport to believe, but when will their consciences kick in, or their intelligence or compassion? I have nothing against any of the religions involved, Christianity, paganism, capitalism, patriotism, etc, but I have a lot for sustaining an environment that can sustain us. Things that worked with a population of one billion people don’t always work with a population over eight billion and 95–98 percent of old-growth forests gone.

Don’t these things look pathetic, surrounded by garbage? What does this image say about Christmas and Christianity? Do you see the buried tree in this picture?

Again, I recommend spending a few seconds on each image. Each trashing of each Christmas Pagan tree tells a unique story of depravity and capitulation.
