O name calling, good 1.
bet I can speak(even if it's just at tha airport and shoppingmore languages than you.(anyone who studied a foreign language in school gets that 1). just because the sound the same doesn't mean they are related. hell as you may know in english(american for you Brits) we like to put latin words together. however English is not a "romance" language it is a derivitave of Germanic peoples. but you knew that already.
ok so what "Pegan tradition" does the Resurection of Christ come from?
what is this need of "atheists" to insult/degrade christians or any other religon? you have to come in here and bash easter.
This whole, "The Universe was created via spontaneous bang crap" nothing+nothing=nothing. I just don't get how someone could believe that. Hell, the idea of earth being created in order to find the meaning of life by aliens because the #42 just won't cut it sounds better.(DA). Calling christians/other world religons sheep following a religous doctrine is pretty hypotricital to. B/C last time I checked there we're more than 2 atheists in the world. so don't hand me that garbage.mfg:
btw: Cadbury Eggs rock something fierce!
You have grossly misunderstood nearly everything I have posted.
Perhaps you havent read my words very carefully.
You claim to know languages yet seem to have no knowlege of the origins of the word Easter. The connections to Babylonian (and other) pagan culture I have given is common knowlege to many.
I am not an athiest. I believe in the ressurection of Christ. Easter has NOTHING to do with that. Not one thing! If you dont know anything about it thats fine, join the crowd who know what they think or believe but havent studied much OR study into it with an open mind.
I only share the facts I know, nothing more. If someone feels "bashed" by that too bad. Thats not the intent. Perhaps instead of feeling insulted one should study and see if their positions hold any merit. Too many people are entirely too happy with whatever religion/beliefs theyre spoon fed at church, by their parents etc regardless if one shred of it is TRUE or taught in the Bible. Thats what I call being a sheep and not in a good sense either.
As to names, I didnt call you or anyone any names. I simply made the observation that many people are retarded about history and the Bible. The average person could care less about either and has spent no time studying either YET has many staunch beliefs & notions pertaining to both. I call that retarded. Kinda reminds me of people who were firmly entrenched in the notion the world was flat but spent NO time exploring to see if it was. I don't know a damn thing about installing nitrous. I have never used it. You won't see me in any NOS related thread spewing firm opinions on how to do it either.
The ressurection of Christ does NOT come from pagan tradition. Easter does. The two are opposites. One is of the devil, one is not. One celebrates sex, fertility, the sun, and celestial bodies etc etc...which is in fact idolotry...its called Easter.
The other is a historical Biblical event for which a remembrance "command" is given by Christ himself...but its NOT the Easter holiday. This event makes salvation for mankind possible. There is a Biblical way to commemorate it, its right in your Bible if you care to look for it...it just isnt the pagan Easter, or sunrise services or any of that commonly practiced sun worship tradition.
