Jeremiah Chapter 10: 1-4

1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
3 For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.

Hee hee. I know at least one that argues ONLY Xians have a right to have a tree. The green is his birth (or somesuch), the white his flesh and the red his blood.
