LOL, you think people actually even treat Easter and Christmas like a religious holiday anyway.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities.

I don't recall anything about Easter in the Bible.

We need a day to celebrate the resurrection.

GG? What?

I could very easily say that God created this relationship between the Sun and the Plants for a very special reason.

Yet then I would hear more bitching about the Big Bang and then I'd have to point out that none of you know the Big Bang happened exactly like this or that, then I'd have to hear the classic counter argument of "How was God created" or "How do you know God even exists". Then the cycle repeats itself with neither side being swayed because the Theists versus Atheists argument is one of the oldest and is basically impossible for either side to convince the other.

Pointless to bray any more breath with some of you people. I follow a Faith that my family line has followed for centuries, you choose to not follow that Faith and that is your own will. Quite frankly I am glad to see that this thread is now less about insulting Jesus Christ with this pathetic "HAPPY ZOMBIE JESUS DAY" nonsense and just people wasting each others times.

So goodnight, Western and Eastern Christians, and of course those of Judaism I hope you have an enjoyable and sociable Easter Sunday. For the rest of the you, I hope you can calm yourselves and have a sliver of respect for your fellow human beings.

Most of it are pagan rituals modified to adapt the madeup birth of a kid in Judea.

I did. They told me it was taken from the pagans to make Christianity more appealing to them.

So you're saying celebrating the resurrection gets boring and you need variety? Very faithful, very faithful indeed.

Yeah, thanks. Just slight the Muslims, European Pagans, Taoists, Buddhists, Hindus, various cultists, folk religion-ists (Shinto, etc.), Mormons, Baha'ists, and more.

Who's culturally superior now, eh?
