Oh, poor baby. Suffering from rope burns around the neck, are we?
You still haven't answered my question. Am I wrong? Have men not taken Jesus resurrection and called it after an abomination?
I don't believe that is the case. There is no evidence whatsoever to back up that assertion. In fact the evidence suggests that it is not the case.
Or would you just say that it doesn't bother you; it's no big deal to you?
The current (and historic) meaning of the word is the celebration of the resurrection. Call it whatever you want. It is only called "Easter" in the English speaking world. There is no evidence that it was ever a reference to some pagan God.
Have a glorious EASTER, my FRiend.
I will have a glorious Resurrection Sunday, thank you!
Since you’ve gone to great lengths to make my general comments all about you, hypersensitive that it’s an attack on your religion, I might as well ask, will you be decorating eggs, giving chocolate eggs, rabbits?
“The current (and historic) meaning of the word is the celebration of the resurrection.”
That’s true. That’s the same reason I’ll celebrate Christmas on December 25th despite the fact we know Jesus wasn’t born at that time of year, and that Winter Solstice used to be on Dec 25th; it was just an extension of that pagan festival.
As far as society is concerned, it means something about Jesus, so that’s a good thing.
But, I won’t have a tree, tree worship is a very old form of worship; the “groves” are mentioned in the Bible many times.
But yes, I’ll certainly give you that’s what it means to most people. But that’s not its origins.
Why are you so attached to the word? It’s not some fundament of your religion, as far as I know?
