....”Will you be celebrating Easter, as well as celebrating the Assumption of Mary into heaven bodily?”....

Of course not...that's a catholic thing...

I will be celebrating ‘the Resurrection’ of the Biblical Jesus Christ which is a Christian Celebration.

So there is a Catholic thing then along with a Eastern Orthodox thing and Coptic thing, too?

It all comes down to faith, and faith equals faith!

That begs the question: is there a Protestant thing, too?

And if so, then you must not forget the ‘Protestant thing’ of those (like Martin Luther) who believed that Esther, Jude, James, Hebrews, and Revelation to be uninspired scripture.

Buddha’s disciples who were with the Buddha wrote down that he performed miracles and was translated beyond all that can be called God.

Do I believe this? No, but they then said it happened and archaeology has shown where the Buddha was said to have performed miracles, where he was born, lived and died and was enlightened under the Bodhi tree. And historical accounts says they were persecuted for their faith like Jesus’ followers were. Do I trust in the Buddha? No...

But Buddhists have their faith, too...

I will celebrate Jesus’s resurrection. The other is a false belief.
