FACT: Easter is a religious holiday
 

Easter is a Christian religious holiday.
So why the fuck do 99% of you "Atheists" celebrate it? :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Look at all the "Happy Easter" threads, yet you slam religion like it butt fucked you in the ass. :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

The ancient Saxons celebrated the return of spring with an uproarious festival commemorating their goddess of offspring and of springtime, Eastre. When the second-century Christian missionaries encountered the tribes of the north with their pagan celebrations, they attempted to convert them to Christianity.

As it happened, the pagan festival of Eastre occurred at the same time of year as the Christian observance of the Resurrection of Christ. It made sense, therefore, to alter the festival itself, to make it a Christian celebration as converts were slowly won over. The early name, Eastre, was eventually changed to its modern spelling, Easter.

The Easter Bunny is not a modern invention. The symbol originated with the pagan festival of Eastre. The goddess, Eastre, was worshipped by the Anglo-Saxons through her earthly symbol, the rabbit.


Happy Easter :winkwink:

Even if you dont believe in the holiday, any excuse to get together with family, enjoy good food & laughs, is good in my book. I dont beleive in ghouls and goblins but I like to celebrate halloween.

i like eggs

FACT: I'm a Christian.

Easter isn't even a Christian holiday sorry to inform you. The christians stole it from the pagans it was around centuries before christ was even born.

Cybele, the Phrygian fertility goddess had a consort, Attis, who was believed to have died and been resurrected each year (at... wow easter time). Born of a virgin, he died and was ressurrected anually. The story of Attis was simply grafted onto Jesus's life in order to make "Christianity" more palatable and gain pagan converts.

Enjoy the Pagan, wannabe Christian holiday, heathens :)

It gives me a chance to wear my ass less bunny outfit.

Splum just got owned. :1orglaugh

easter has nothing to do with religion, the true form of easter.. christians just love to make other days their own.

easter is a spring festival.

Cadbury invented Easter.

Eastre, Ostara, Eostre, all different forms for the same goddess.. The myth itself is Phrygian in origin, however pagans often interchange the names of gods/goddesses simply depending on the region. Aphrodite, Ashtoreth, Astarte, Demeter, Hathor, Ishtar, Kali, Ostara, essentually the same "goddess" with a different name :)

Christmas is another one of those lovely pagan-originated, Christian-bastardized holidays.

Either way it's a nice time to spend time with the family, no matter what your religious beliefs.

Fact - You Are Wrong As Always...

This thread makes my head hurt and strangely it's not because of Splum.

Feel better now?

One Jesus is too many.

Once again you prove that you are an IDIOT. Easter has nothing to do with any religion, it is a Farmers holiday to praise the Egg.....jeesh, don't you know anything...:1orglaugh

happy easter guys !!!!!!!!

Spin it any way you want LOL HAHA. hell we can look up the origins of anything and find how people have bastardized any holiday, the fact remains Easter IS A RELIGIOUS holiday.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter

Wikipedia said it so it must be the only thing that is truth...

It's alright to just go ahead and say you were wrong. We couldn't think much less of you as it is. :2 cents:

Happy Easter :)

Happy Easter, idiot. We love candies.

All religious holidays are stolen from pagan and pre pagan beliefs. What many don't realize, a lot of what is in the bible, specifically the old testament, are just newer translations of what came before. Same shit, just the face and people behind it changed or restructured to fit with the current civilization and political climate.

Pretty much ;)

Read much?

Cultural elements, such as the Easter Bunny and Easter egg hunts, have become part of the holiday's modern celebrations, and those aspects are often celebrated by many Christians and non-Christians alike.

I'm Non-Christian and Not Religious... My kids had easter baskets for the "holiday celebrations."

What's the big deal anyway? Sounds like someone's just pissed because the Easter bunny really hates them...

easter is holiday for drinking

Jesus is lord!

Everyday is a holiday then...

Sounds like you're the one doing the spinning just so you can fabricate a reason to hate.
Yup, you're the bigger man.

:thumbsup

Even Jesus is a plagiarism .... of many other " religion / fables " ....

I never celebrate easter or any other holiday for that matter. i dont even celebrate my own birthdday. every day is the same fucken shit. there is nothing worth celebrating.

Cool! Let's drink!!

Jesus is bored!

Holidays are for people who are happy and like to celebrate life. I hate those kind of people. There are no holidays worth celebrating, every day is just another day like the past one. What is the point of celebrating that. I hate all holidays. I don't even think its worthwhile to celebrate birthdays to be honest.

Fuck christmas, fuck easter, fuck thanksgiving, Fuck every holiday and fuck every regular day too :)

toodles

Its a porn holiday

Just saw that on a tube site! :thumbsup

Easter is about spending time with the fam, cooking a big assed ham, and watching the 10 commandments. Moses chose the oldest sister for his wife, I always pretend the other six became mine.


Oh yeah, chocolate. Bite off the ears first.

I think that is right out of the bible right?:1orglaugh

Do you have someone to talk to about these things? I'm being serious here. I think therapy is right up your alley.

I can't wait till the Bible 2.0 comes out! :thumbsup

same as Christmas - holidays got commercialized

I think Bausch posts all the dark brooding "look at me I'm dark and brooding" shit in some bizarro-world attempt at being bizarro cool in order to set itself apart from everyone else. It will say it doesn't care but the fact that it posted at all says that it does.

I refer to it as it because I'm no longer sure if it's male or female. It has posts on this board claiming to be one, then others where it says it's the other. Not that I care. :D

That must have been awful, become a member of our site and see it full quality.

ya i agree kind of silly

Why when I can watch it in HD without extra checked joins on tube sites?

You can't watch it anywhere as I havn't uploaded it yet . If you think there is HD on the internet you are poorly informed.

I found the selection of easter candy really lame this year.

I had to buy some chocolate bunnies for a family friend and the selection was SHIET most of the stuff was dumbass characters like Family guy.. Which seemed to be in the shape of tombstones..
