Uh-oh. Did I burst your morally relativistic bubble?
The point Mrs. Don-o was making, I believe, is that the names of the days of the week also are of “pagan origin”.
Obviously no one (except for a few extreme purists here actually) believes that calling the fifth day of the week “Thursday” is a sin, even though it’s origin is “Thor’s Day”, another Germanic god.
Why doesn’t anyone object to that? Because everyone (who has common sense) knows that it doesn’t matter where the word came from, what matters is how the word is used today. The word “Thursday” is used to denote the fifth day of the week, not to memorialize the god Thor.
Similarly for “Easter”. No one uses that word to memorialize “Eôstre”, the Germanic goddess, rather it’s to denote the day the Lord rose from the dead (chosen by traditional means by the way, it’s interesting how you celebrate it on the same day as the Catholic Church, different name notwithstanding).
It’s the same concept. The name “Thursday” is no more evil than the name “Easter”. Etymological origins are irrelevant in both cases.
If anyone is being a “moral relativist” it’s you, who chooses (apparently at random) when to use pagan names and when not. To be consistent in your rejection of all things pagan, you should also refuse to name the days of the week as is conventionally done, since they are also of pagan origin. In fact, if you don’t, you actually sin more (if you’re right about your point about the word “Easter”) because we use those names much more frequently throughout the year. Easter is only one day; Thursday occurs 52 times a year.
Category mistake. This is not a moral issue.
Dude, you need to stop for a moment of self-examination.
You're preaching about the (in your mind)usurpation of Christ's resurrection, but you're doing the same thing you're condemning. You're usurping this holy day to try and beat everyone over the head with your own self-righteousness & imagined moral superiority.
Stop using the occasion of Christ's resurrection to feed your own ego. Shame on you.
