James from Canton, Ohio asks why so-called biblical literalists don't always take the Bible literally. He mentions Jeremiah 10:3, in which putting up a Christmas tree and decorating it is described as a pagan practice. 3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut a tree out of the forest, and a craftsman shapes it with his chisel. 4 They adorn it with silver and gold; they fasten it with hammer and nails so it will not totter.
