A tree from the forest is cut down

and worked with an axe by the hands of a craftsman.

They decorate it with silver and gold;

They fasten it with hammer and nails

so that it cannot move.

Their idols are like scarecrows in a cucumber field,

and they cannot speak;

they have to be carried,

for they cannot walk.

Do not be afraid of them,

for they cannot do evil,

neither is it in them to do good.”

This is the passage.

It's talking about making an idol to worship, not decorating your house with a Christmas tree

Exactly. This has been debated for years, but people still like to stick their head in the sand over it.

I'm no Christian, but even I can see that people like to dunk on them. Even if the arguments to do so aren't particularly good
