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.

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 imagine it will be until the week of the draft.

Status: online 		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.

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.

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.
