1. Okay, to the people with the pagan fixation...

Edited on Fri Dec-17-04 01:26 PM by UdoKier

What relevance, exactly, does the pagan origin of Xmas trees and Yule logs have on the legality of Xmas displays on public property? I can see no relevance whatsoever, and yet you guys bring it up over and over again as though it matters. The cross is also not originally a Christian symbol. Neither is a necklace, unless you call it a "rosary". It's all about context. Why muddy the argument with trivia about the origins of some of the accoutrements?

Seriously, I just don't get it.
