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”.
Some folks just like to wallow in misery and despair. Its the true biblical version of the sin of sloth.
I agree with Charles Spurgeon who said:
"There is no ordinance in Scripture of any one Lord’s-day in the year being set apart to commemorate the rising of Christ from the dead, for this reason, that every Lord’s-day is the memorial of our Lord’s resurrection. Wake up any Lord’s-day you please, whether in the depth of winter, or in the warmth of summer, and you may sing:
“To day he rose and left the dead, And Satan’s empire fell; To day the saints his triumph spread, And all his wonders tell.”
"To set apart an Easter Sunday for special memory of the resurrection is a human device, for which there is no Scriptural command, but to make every Lord’s-day an Easter Sunday is due to him who rose early on the first day of the week.
–C. H. Spurgeon, MTP #1530
The Lord is a jealous God. Before entering the land, He warned His people not to mix pagan religious practices they would encounter with true worship. He warned them against doing what was right in their own eyes. He said, "What thing soever I command you, observe to do it: thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it." (Deuteronomy 12:32)
"Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." (Colossians 2:8)
All that said, I celebrated Easter most of my life. My understanding has changed in recent years. I know that I am in the minority. It's likely that few have ever given it much of a thought and even fewer have undertaken a study of manmade holy days. Therefore, even though I am persuaded to reject Easter, I believe in Christian liberty and offer no condemnation of those who recognize Easter.
"One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks." (Romans 14:5-6)
