Maybe it’s just me, but this year the journalists seem to be working over-time to come up with stories that make Easter or Passover look bad.

From the article:

The feasts of Passover and Unleavened Bread have deep meaning to Christ's true disciples. They reveal aspects of God's plan for the salvation of humanity—commemorating the fact that Jesus died for us and lives in us and for us (1 Corinthians 11:26; Galatians 2:20; Colossians 3:3-4).

Easter is the most important holiday for hundreds of millions of believers around the world. Yet thousands of Christians don't observe it. Do they know something that others don't?

These supposed thousands know more than the rest of Christianity...the early Fathers and Doctors of the Church and all of the many hundreds of millions of Christians who have ever lived and celebrated Easter! They have some special knowledge the rest of us don't have. I thought the Church stamped out that Gnostic Heresy a long time ago. Well...theeeeey're back.

It doesn’t take a journalist to make a celebration of fertility gods (aka Easter) look bad.

It is an idolotrous celebration.

And no, you can’t baptize a pagan holiday and make it holy.

Period.

End of discussion.

If you think it's bad now, you should have been around in the 60s.
