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.
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.
They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Discuss.
That’s nothing, Jerry; wait until you see what the heathens did to Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante, and ANWR! And didja notice that reindeer head with the bulbous red nose hanging in the trophy room? That’s why everything is delivered by UPS or FedEx now.
Deck the halls with pine and fir boughs,
Tra-la-la-la-laaa, la-la-la-laaa!
‘Tis the season for Republicans to loot and vandalize,
Tra-la-la-la-laaa, la-la-la-laaa!
We’re beavers like the modern day goats back then?
“Cat’s Cradle” is correct: it’s all a pack of lies.
@4 Yep, it is pretty much a pack of lies. Any organized religion is a granfalloon.
One person actually born on December 25th: Sir Issac Newton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Newton. Sir Isaac is the real “Newt”.
It’s funny that two of the three major monotheisitc religions have their underwear in knots over cutting the ends off of weenies and not eating pork. Of course, Christianity has its flaws, too. Trying to convert everyone to their faith is one of those flaws. Islam also shares this urge to increase membership. Both religions don’t mind pulling out the sword to get their way. Jews believe they’re the chosen people so they could not care less about converting the heathens to Judaism. That’s not the way Christians and Muslims do it, however.
Of course this is more what the verses mean:

Plenty of them here in the Pacific Northwest, British Columbia, and Canada.
@1 That is right, and according to the Bible then the good and righteous are to go to those places decorated by the heathens and wipe out those markings. Not that the House of David often did this kind of thing, as the realities of living with their actual neighbors complicated actually doing that sort of thing, and it’s expensive to keep a soldier on active duty (about an ounce of silver a month) and wiping out symbols just is not something a real government engages in unless already at war, but the prophets who are safe in their home may advise these kind of things. So the tribes of the Salish Sea can relax as none of their totems will be bothered, and we rather like these totems. Makes us feel special here in the northwest and all those tourist dollars. Also makes it easy for the Seattle police as they know the totems are a popular place for vagrants, drunk young man to pee, and it’s an easy arrest for public exposure and a win for the good cops of Seattle, WA. YEAH!!!
Jeremiah was a bullfrog, was a good friend of mine…..he had some mighty fine wine!
