It certainly doesn't appear you are interested in truth.
You have done nothing of the sort. Your evergreen tree in the bible has absolutely no link to the Christmas tree. the christmas tree's origins have been well established.
Jeremiah 10:1 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. 5 They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go.
Easter: the name is from Eostora, the Germanic goddess of spring and fertility. So loved and revered was she by the pagan tribes that the Christians could not fully banish her, so her name was adopted for the holiday. Eostora was said to travel amonst the tribes when spring came, and with her traveled her beloved pet rabbit, who would lay colored eggs to the delight of the children, who Eostora had a special love for. Baskets of fruit and brightly colored trinkets were traditionally made up and given during this celebration, and things were decked out with flowers. Even the timing of Easter is suspicous: easter happens every year after the first full moon that occurs after the spring equinox. Curious timing for a "Christian" holiday.
Valentines day: Though not really a Christian holiday, it is celebrated by Christians. Though it was named for a catholic saint, the holiday comes from the pagan Roman feast of Lupricalia, meaning Wolf party. It was in celebration of Februs, whose name means fever, a goddess of passion, who was said to incite fever in mortals to make love. Lupricalia was celebrated by a big party, where some pots filled with names of the party goers were set out. The name you drew would be the sex partner for the evening. This is where we get the tradition of giving "valentines", though a much more watered down version.
Preistly vestments: Only for the Catholic church. The robes worn by cardinals and the pope, and high ranking Catholic figures in general, can virtually be traced directly back to the Roman priests of Jupiter. In fact, it is widely believed that when Christianity became the offical religon of the Roman empire, the old pagan preists didnt bother changing their gear, instead, they simply converted to the new religon.
4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked F27 with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: 5 And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH

Not quite, but you're definitely on the right track. The Internet is actually the Beast, which appears to be a savior, but which is actually giving everyone a number (URL), that reflects upon one's forehead. The number "666" is the frequency that corresponds to the modem command to access the Internet (as expressed in Hebrew musical notation).
Please feel free to create an entire ranting Internet site about this. People should be made aware.

Lately I think it's clear that the Whore of Babylon must be Islam. The antichrist was Mohammed. Revelation has been playing out for hundreds and hundreds of years, I think we've been making a mistake to think all these events would happen quickly and together in time. The false prophet is one who will come and take up the mantle of Mohammed and impose Islam on the world. Muslims use one hand to carry the Koran, which itself is the mark of the beast.
i had to take a walk to calm down after i read this...
first off, you provide no evidence to link them, no evidence of mohammed being the antichrist, no evidence of the whore of babylon being islam.
before i say any more on this subject, i want to see the evidence.

As we can see the propehcy of Baylon the great being laid bare is starting to happen with all the vatican dirtly little secrets spilling out!.
You just have to look at the discriptions.
"With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication"
Well we can see that through history Kings and world leaders have used and twisted organised religion to manipulate and brainwash the people into all sorts of atrocius things.
"So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns."
"And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:"
Again many organised religions have twisted the words of god or made things up for its own evil ends.
"And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration."
False religion has killed many rightous people in the name of "herasy" ect Just look at what the Cathlic church did in the middle ages to those who tried to Print bibles and teach its words in native launages so the masses could know what it truely said!
The Parallel between babylon the great and false religion is strikeing,

None of what you say is true. Everything you know of Christ came from the faith, Roman Catholicism except
for the OT prophecies about Our Lord.
It is prophesied, the anti-Christ will attempt to abolish the most Holy Eucharist (the abomination of desolation). Figure it out friend, why would he do this if the Our Lord's presence in the consecrated host isn't true?
