Do you really think at this point God hates Easter and Christmas more than he hates his people treating Witness Lee like a demigod? Or the way the LCM uses Lee as the standard to aggrandize itself and divide itself from everyone else?
Let me spell it out for you.
Christmas and Easter = gnats
Witness Lee veneration = camel
What's that big lump going down your throat anyway?

I can easily show you are not being logical or rational in your assessment of what is a gnat and what is a camel.
Consider, the number of people celebrating Christmas and Easter since it was introduced. Let us assume it is the whole of the world's current Christian population - 2.2 billion. This is an underestimate and approximation because
it doesn't consider every year by year since these celebrations were introduced.
The number of people treating Lee as a demi god - assume, hypothetically, it is every local church member.. approximately 1 million people. A million is probably an over estimate, actually I have no idea how many Witness Lee followers there are.
Now, let's do the maths, size of demi god worshippers compared to size of paganizers. 1 million divided by 2200 million, is about 0.0454%.
So, only 0.0454% of people treat Lee as a demi god.
99.954% of people celebrating Christmas and Easter.
I think it is clear what is the real gnat and what is the real camel.
