that's what you're trying to say

2017-05-27 17:54:04 UTC  

no

2017-05-27 17:54:09 UTC  

but close!

2017-05-27 17:54:25 UTC  

this specific "tree of life" symbolism infiltrated christianity

2017-05-27 17:54:37 UTC  

masonry is a new thing

2017-05-27 17:54:37 UTC  

and the star on top is just the cherry on top

2017-05-27 17:54:53 UTC  

tree of life isn't only a european symbol

2017-05-27 17:54:59 UTC  

yes, I'm aware

2017-05-27 17:55:01 UTC  

Midwinter in Scandinavia is dark, so they put lights on fir trees

2017-05-27 17:55:02 UTC  

it existed in levant, south asia, pretty much everywhere

2017-05-27 17:55:14 UTC  

that's why it's a fir and not an oak or whatever

2017-05-27 17:55:22 UTC  

Christianity could not exist as a remotely relevant tradition had it not borrowed from Traditional teachings

2017-05-27 17:55:24 UTC  

that seems like a rationalisation after the fact @Deleted User 57835c2c

2017-05-27 17:55:26 UTC  

It would be like Islam

2017-05-27 17:56:30 UTC  

Even "esoteric Islam" has basically nothing to do with Koran, other than when it comes to the most circuitous rationalizations

2017-05-27 17:56:42 UTC  

esoteric Islam = hellenic teachings

2017-05-27 17:56:45 UTC  

good, it should infiltrate christianity

2017-05-27 17:56:53 UTC  

and we should bring back more pagan symbols

2017-05-27 17:57:07 UTC  

and ceremonies

2017-05-27 17:57:18 UTC  

the star atop the tree to represent the star of bethlehem

2017-05-27 17:57:20 UTC  

just makes no sense

2017-05-27 17:57:27 UTC  

why not

2017-05-27 17:57:37 UTC  

because of the origins of the tree itself

2017-05-27 17:57:39 UTC  

Norse fir and spruce trees with midwinter pagan symbolism->some autism about lights->Christmas tree

2017-05-27 17:57:46 UTC  

why should you have this symbol placed where it is?

2017-05-27 17:57:49 UTC  

the only connection is

2017-05-27 17:57:54 UTC  

there is a star in one place, and a star in another

2017-05-27 17:57:56 UTC  

just like Odin became wants

2017-05-27 17:57:59 UTC  

Santa

2017-05-27 17:58:01 UTC  

whereas the connection for star atop the tree

2017-05-27 17:58:11 UTC  

in a pagan/gnostic sense

2017-05-27 17:58:18 UTC  

is much clearer, sensible

2017-05-27 17:58:28 UTC  

the whole thing is a shitty version of yule just like the whole rest of the west is just a shitty version of Scandinavia

2017-05-27 17:58:29 UTC  

at the peak is illumination

2017-05-27 17:58:37 UTC  

so what

2017-05-27 17:58:51 UTC  

there were solistice celebrations and tree decorations outside of scandinavia

2017-05-27 17:58:55 UTC  

well the start was me linking a pic of an LDS temple in africa

2017-05-27 17:58:57 UTC  

which had this

2017-05-27 17:59:08 UTC  

and then you said it was something

2017-05-27 17:59:11 UTC  

and then we were led to this
