We see (from that quote) that the etymology of the word is not from “Ishtar” rather from a Germanic goddess of unknown origin,

Ah. Much better.

I certainly hope you read all of what I wrote, and not just what you quoted. If not though, if it makes you feel better to believe “Easter is pagan” go ahead and believe that. It’s a silly point though, as it’s just a “complaint” about etymology.

It’s not a substantial claim in any respect; in other words, you clearly couldn’t have any issue with an Italian who wished you a “Buona Pasqua”.
