Happy Easter/Resurrection day everybody.

Yet another holiday completely ripped off by the Christians from the Pagans.

Easter took its name from the pagan goddess Eostre – the goddess of spring and fertility.

With all the holidays these folks try to rip off, why would we be surprised when they try to rip off an election? It's in their nature.

Steal it. Call it ours. Hype it up to be something it isn't.

That's why I personally prefer calling the day Resurrection day.

I don't consider it so much about resurrection, as I do fertility. Spring is in the air. Things are starting to grow again. Animals are screwing again after a long winter of hibernation.

The sacred symbol of the goddess Eostre was a hare, and rabbits have long been considered a symbol of fertility due to their ability to reproduce quickly and in large numbers.

I just a kick out of imaginary beings gift and chocolate bombing 2 of the biggest religious holidays so other imaginary beings and beliefs can be passed on generation to generation.

Remove Santa and the Easter Bunny and religion would stall out.

Get up to 4 right now and let the chips fall where the may.

Maybe we get up to 2 from there maybe we get the 4th guy. As long as we’re assured one of Daniels, Maye, or McCarthy I don’t care.

Not the thread for it, but I wouldn't bet on religion stalling out.

It lasted for most of 10000 years without chocolate.

I almost commented on Brad's post but I know it would just create threads of post so next time he has a health scare I will pray for him or not in secret.

I normally Enjoy most of Brads posts. Todays not so much. He just had to go there. Must be short on Vikings news the last few days.

I imagine it will be until the week of the draft.

But, most importantly, talk about them in the religion thread and not the Vikings thread.

I wished people a happy Easter/Resurrection day. The Easter part was intended for non believers. It's about bunnies, chocolate and egg hunts. Nothing to do with Christianity. Resurrection day was intended for believers. I don't think either of them is required to be only discussed in the religion thread. Both of these events are pretty big deals and I thought it would be nice to wish people a happy one.

Ill never understand a person that can appear tolerant of all the different types of lifestyles and beliefs, trash anyone that dares to not follow their belief system, yet ridicule others bc they believe in God. And I'm not speaking about myself, I'm speaking for John Doe and others. It's okay to accept a human born with a penis and compete against women but not ok to believe there is a something more than lights out when death comes. Hypocrisy & pretentiousness.

What if I think it’s lights out when you die AND think if you’re born with a penis it’s not ok to compete against females?

I would say that in America about 30-40% agree with you on 1st point.

The second one I would say about 99.999% of Americans agree. That .001 has some powerful allies though.

It's an example - my apologies if it's poor wording. Hopefully my point of view is clear.
