A quote from the bible:
Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathens 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.
They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also is it in them to do good.
…
But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock is a doctrine of vanities.
Jeremiah 2-5, 8
Obviously that Jeremiah guy was a dick.
He was, but leaving out Jeremiah 10:6-7 might be a sign in an angry-athiest-who-didnt-get-the-Atari-system-s/he-wanted-for-Christmas-as-a-kid kinda way. Besides, the only ones really worshipping trees anymore hate Christians, too. Can’t we all just get along?
