2,000-year-old Holy Thorn Tree of Glastonbury is cut down.
What kind of ignorant piece of shit would cut down a tree thought to be 2000 years old.

I'm confused...the title says the tree is 2,000 years old, but the article states the original tree was cut down and a cutling from it was planted in 1951 to become this tree. So...the actual tree is 59 years old...

sad... but seriously, who worships a tree?

and before you go on about "a symbol of Christianity", I'll say idol worship comes in many forms...

Is it one of those trees form the Lord of the Rings...

Hey honey I got us some firewood. Ooops

my bad, i missed that it was a replacement tree. story was to long so i only skimmed it.

not the point of what the tree represents for some, my point was if it was a known 2000 yr old tree that was truly ignorant to cut it down.

this thread is ready for archive.
