Have the fake Christmas tree designers ever seen a real tree?

It seems to me that the fake Christmas tree designers have never seen a real tree.
My 20 year old tree still looks darn nice, but I was tempted by some of the after x-mas sales.

But seriously, they are all really ugly!

God destroyed a city because of the sinners. I have no qualms about my right to defend myself if I have to.

I still don't know if you're a real account, or just a dedicated troll, or maybe a student working on an example of Poe's Law for their thesis...

That was actually meant to be an insult to the Romans to show them that the Jewish people were stronger than the Romans even in captivity, but they exercised discipline in not revolting.

So you're saying it's no longer applicable, and eye for an eye should be the law of the land? Scratchchin

If I recall correctly, the eye for an eye law came from the Pentateuch which was how the Jewish people were suppose to conduct themselves with each other. The turn the other cheek thing came from the New Testament in which Christ said he has not come to change the law but to add to it. So it would be apples and oranges, but I'd rather just have some wine. Screw it. I'm pouring whiskey. It's almost noon here.

So we can stone any Christian eating bacon, got it. Since Christ didn't change the law, pig flesh is still outlawed, and stoning an acceptable method of punishment. Thanks.
