Babel was the origin of an idolatrous system that swept the world. The Bible says of her, “Babylon… the nations drank her wine; Therefore the nations are deranged” (Jeremiah 51:7). idolatry originated in the area of Babylonia—the most ancient of religious systems.”[8]
Basically, almost every vile, profane and idolatrous practice you can think of originated at Babel with Queen Easter/Ishtar (Semiramis), the Mother Goddess and Nimrod. As the people scattered from Babel with their different languages, they, of course, used different names for Nimrod (Tammuz) and Semiramis. Some called the Mother Goddess “ISHTAR” (originally pronounced “Easter”).[9] In other lands, she was called Eostre, Astarte, Ostera, and Eastre. Other names for Semiramis, the Mother Goddess include: Wife of Baal, Ashtaroth or Ashtoreth, and Queen of Heaven.[10] The Mother goddess was frequently worshipped as the goddess of fertility—and as a sort of Mother Nature and goddess of Spring and sexual love and birth. She was also worshipped as a mediator between god and man. Sexual orgies and temple prostitutes were often used in her worship and in attempting to gain her favor.

Son rises on a compass directions.
Oooookayyyyyy. If that works for you.
But getting back to the argument that you changed, are you one of those people who make it a point to say Merry Christmas instead of Happy Holidays?
It does now
“Sorry to harsh everybody’s mellow”
Your post didn’t “harsh” anyone’s mellow. You are one one with the harsh.
Auto correct turned harsh in to harrass.
Any how, Happy Easter.
Jesus can help you with your perpetual state of harsher mellow.
You don’t need to walk by sight and with a spirit of fear.
Presuming you're not a Catholic, aren't you a tad bothered by celebrating
Happy Easter!
Amen and thank you.
Hopefully one day I will be as perfect as you.
Now, getting back to the point of my original post, are you one of those people who get bent out of shape because people say Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas?
Maybe "bent out of shape" is not the correct phrase. I'll consult auto-correct.
Let me aks it this way, when someone says, "Happy Holidays" to you do you make it a point to respond with, "Merry Christmas"?
Where do you people get your psychologist degrees?
Happy Easter!
Happy Resurrection Sunday!
What should we do about...
Sun’s Day
Moon’s Day
Tiu’s Day
Woden’s Day
Thor’s Day
Freya’s Day
and Saturn’s Day
?
My ‘internet’ pastor was preaching on the subject of the ‘Hadron Collider’ in Sunday school this morning.
Uhhhhhhhh. Live them?
What do any of them have to do with the honoring the resurrection of Christ?
Or are you of the I-know-I-can't-win-this-argument-so-I'll-change-the-subject school of thought?
“I secretly worship Peeps”
Peepists are full of errors and sinful marshmallow.

Oh, good grief.
When Christians say “Happy Easter” to one another, they’re commemorating one thing & one thing only-—Christ’s resurrection. There’s no confusion about it.
Instead of getting all hung up on word games, shouldn’t we be reflecting on His sacrifice for us?
Amen. Happy Easter to all Freepers.
I am not sure I have ever seen this one before. I like it.
Don't give him any ideas! :O
:)
If you want to start a thread on the pagan origins of Catholocism, by all means, you go right ahead. I've got my hands full with this one.
If you can show me that the word "mass" has pagan origins, then, yes, I might be a tad bothered by it. But at least Christ is acknowledged in there SOMEwhere.
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.
