Washington Atheists Put Tree Up
With little fanfare or complaints, Seattle Atheists have erected a
decorated tree and a sign on the Capitol campus in honor
of not-Christmas. A tree? As in, a Christmas Tree? Not
exactly. The 
group calls it “A Tree of Knowledge” — although it’s
unclear if they’re unaware of the Biblical implications of such a title,
or co-opting it. But their tree looks suspiciously like a
Christmas Tree, considering it’s about a 6-foot conifer with decorations
hanging from the boughs. No toys or angels or smiley snowmen for the
atheists, however. Their decorations consist of pictures of famous
scientists like Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein, covers for books
like “Cosmos” and a small copy of the Periodic Table of Elements. (I
know what you’re thinking: These atheists sure know how to trim a tree!)/Jim Camden, Spin Control. More here.
Question: Can you trim a tree better than an atheist can?
