Welp, Jesus wasn't born on December 25. The celebration of Christ's birth on that date is actually the co-option of a pagan holiday. So, who better to sponsor a Christmas tree (another pagan tradition) than the Satanic Temple? The mind reels.
As for Bill Donohue and his Catholic League, even the RCC disavows this guy. He's a nutbar. I have a vision of him, sitting in a spittle-flecked room, operating an old-fashioned fax machine (no e-fax for this guy) sending out his screeds to anyone who hasn't blocked him. He is a strictly one-person operation. Who is paying him? Does he have a dues-paying membership? Secret handshakes? Passwords? Enquiring minds...
Last year the local astronomical society had a tree up in the competition at the Trolley Museum, not far from the Steamtown museum. All we had on it was things about the solar system. Other trees were about space too since that seemed to be the theme. I don't recall any very churchy ones but then I didn't bother to go to look.
I love how he says, "this is a perfect example of how we *don't* do so-called "culture wars"" then proceeds to say, in not so many words, that they're just defending their culture from a culture they don't agree with. Y'know, kind of like if it was a war between cultures.
I must contact Rep. Gallagher to inform him that as a resident of the Satanic state of California, I have yet to see any kind of display that is similar to that in lovely Green Bay. So I must immediately jump to an unfounded conclusion, like any good RWNJ, That conclusion is that Wisconsin, in general, and Green Bay in particular, are inhabited by witches, demons, and devil worshippers. And what's more, I must conclude that Rep. Gallagher is most likely one of the leading Satanists in his district and only identifies as a RWNJ as a spectacular ruse while he performs his demonic work. I mean, look what he's obviously done to the Green Bay Packers.
Conservatives fear that liberals will indoctrinate them with another religion (or secularism), put them in camps, and force a liberal ideology they disagree with upon them. They believe in their heart of hearts that their enemies want to do the same things to them that they want to do to their enemies.
They want to turn America into a dictatorship where they can force their ideology on everyone and put anyone who disagrees with them in camps and they are afraid the other side would take the opportunity to do it first." -- G.S. Croft

There was an old episode of Dr. Who which featured hostile aliens disguised as Xmas trees, as well as murderous robot Santas. Sometimes they really had to reach to work Xmas into the monster-of-the-week plot.
Speaking of Dr. Who, just watched the only two episodes of a British adaptation of a series of YA novels by Philip Pullman ( of His Dark Materials fame), a couple of kind of steampunk detective stories starring Billie Piper (Rose Tyler) and Matt Smith (the 11th Doctor). I've seen worse.
Thank you for that recommendation- I loved His Dark Materials, but was hesitant about taking up the Sally Lockhart series. Too bad the Beeb only produced two out of four, I'll watch just about anything with Billy or Matt in it, going so far as to watch that GOT spinoff for a while.

Just a few more comments folks that is all we need for 666.
The Christmas season is starting to suffocate me already.
In the video, when FOX News shows us the Satanic Temple tree, the picture of Baphomet is blurred out. 🤨...🤣🤣
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. (And sometimes they get interviewed on FOX.)
And I can see from his attire with "the eagle ate the apple and the core" that he apparently served in the USMC's elite Under Armour squadron.

As of this typing, there are 626 Comments that aren't allowed on this post. I'm very, very disappointed that it didn't make it to 666 yet.
As of this one, it's 630, but I'm not about to try to come up with 36 comments to spam the thread up to 666.
642 as of now. Don't know if we'll ever make it to 666. Disappointing.
Compared to the former FLOTUS' unseelie blood trees, this is positively homely.
" hostility to Christianity" - Not a crime.
My only question…can I order the Satanic Christmas tree on Amazon?

It would be irresponsible not to speculate.
Oh YEAH?
Then where are the little gold wrapped chocolate figurines of Jeebus, HENGH??
And Jesus sayeth "EAT ME"!
Come back at Easter. They have chocolate crosses.
Tom Waits is there for it

OMG YES

Or, IOW, they're waging a culture war. Exactly like he said this was an example of them *not* doing.

Maybe the person is just dyslexic?

to save us all from Santa's power when we were gone astray...

OMG now I have all my Christmas shopping done!
Do you get an unmarked variety pack so you don't know who you'll get until you open it?
"Honey! You're getting fucked by Samuel Alito tonight."
"Been there. Done that."
Mind puzzle:
Of the nine, who would be the fastest and most thorough boner killer?
Coke can Clarence?
Coathanger Amy?
Rapey Brett?
Scalito?
Since Alito's already fucked every woman in America...
Sounds like a real buzz-killer to me /s.

The four books in Pullman's series The Sally Lockhart Mysteries are all very good reads.
1. The Ruby in the Smoke (1985)
2. The Shadow in the North (1986)
3. The Tiger in the Well (1990)
4. The Tin Princess (1994)

SNL did a sketch about killer Christmas trees. It featured a police lineup with two Christmas trees and that week's musical guest, Frank Zappa.
what what's the YA billie piper / matt smith show?

There was a mall pickpocket a few years back who wore a Santa suit.
Not only did he blend in with all the other mall Santas, but even if he picked your pocket, you wouldn't DARE chase him and kick his ass.
