“The empty cross is a reminder of the victory Christ had over death and the grave.”
Of course, and yet your ally here says:
“All of the Lent and Easter abomination is pagan and God clearly condemned it in scripture.”
“God doesn’t smile down on people who celebrate Easter.”
Very odd.

It isn't odd at all - There is no defense for the Roman holy days. Bowing to Rome is not equal to bowing before the Messiah, hence discarding Roman precepts and ordinations (!!Traditions!!!) can only open one's eyes to the truth, which has been pasted over for centuries.
And I will submit to you that you (y'all) had best try to come up with whatever lame defense you might, as more and more, folks are coming to the conclusion that following the Word requires rejecting the traditions they have grown up in. That the Protestants protested is all well and good, but they did not protest enough!
There is no defense for easter or christmas. There is little defense for anything Rome has devised. And CynicalBear is right in his statement.
