War on Christmas: Atheists now labelling Christmas trees a symbol of violence

The idiot 'scientists' behind this latest battle in the war on Christmas want Christmas trees removed from all public places to avoid making non-Christians feel "excluded". Not just excluded but "threatened." Apparently, behind every atheist nightmare lurks a.... Christmas tree. From the UK Telegraph via memeorandum: Christmas trees 'make non-Christians feel excluded'

Researchers at Simon Fraser University in Canada, found non-Christians feel less self-assured and have fewer positive feelings if a Christmas tree was in the room.

The scientists conducted the study using 77 Christians and 57 non-believers, including Buddhists and Sikhs.

The participants did not know the survey was about Christmas, and were asked to fill in questions about themselves both when a 12-inch Christmas tree was in the room and when it was not.

1) Is this what the fund in Canada under the guise of science? 2) A 12-inch tree? 12 inches? I quote Charlie Brown: "good grief."

"Non-celebrators" reported fewer positive feelings and less self-assurance in the Christmas room. Christians were mostly cheered by the tree.

Christians, however, did report feeling more guilt when a tree was in the room, which, claim the researchers, suggests the holidays can be stressful.

The 'researchers' also termed Christmas trees "threatening." Threatening. Likely the first time I have seen a Christmas tree correlated with violence.

UPDATE: The spirit of Jounolist seems to be alive and well as the establishment MSM is launching a full-scale attack against the Christmas tree. From the AP via The Oakland Press: South Korean Christmas tree sign of new propaganda war

As troops stood guard and a choir sang carols, South Koreans lit a massive steel Christmas tree that overlooks the world's most heavily armed border and is within sight of atheist North Korea.

The lighting of the tree Tuesday after a seven-year hiatus marked a pointed return to a tradition condemned in Pyongyang as propaganda. The provocative ceremony — which needed government permission — was also a sign that President Lee Myung-bak's administration is serious about countering the North's aggression with measures of its own in the wake of an artillery attack that killed four South Koreans last month. ...

Yeah - that Christmas tree will show them! If North Korea launches a was over this, it will literally be a war on Christmas. Here's a pic of the 'threat' from the South:

Scary, eh?
