“He certainly added that he doesn’t condemn people if they want to do these things, ...”

Odd, these sound like condemnations to me, not to you?

“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.”

LOL, narses! How many more times are you going to repeat this silliness? It's getting quite stale! CB has ALREADY explained his meaning for saying such things, MANY times. I have added additional words that explained the meaning for saying such things. Others have also added their words to explain the meaning for saying such things. Other threads have been opened discussing the pagan origins of certain "celebrations". You really have no excuse for not knowing this - unless, of course, you really aren't interested in understanding the point and you care more for harassing and badgering someone who isn't cowed by your obnoxiousness. Is this the case?

Are you capable of understanding the difference between saying an action is not approved by God and condemned and a PERSON who does certain things is condemned by God?

Let me give you one more example that should help. Do you think God smiles down on people who have Easter egg hunts in their yards, give out Easter baskets full of candy eggs, jelly beans and chocolate bunnies, who worship the goddess Eostre and dance for the Spring equinox praising sex and fertility in the new year? I don't think God likes it at all, though you may have the opinion that it doesn't matter as long as your "heart" is in the right place. Do you believe like I do and as CB has said that the resurrection of Jesus Christ during this time of year is the reason to rejoice and we shouldn't bring pagan rituals and symbols into the remembrance of the most important event of our faith?

Again, I think you really DO understand the point Cynical Bear made when he said those kinds of words and you are having fun with mocking non-Catholics who refuse to believe everything that you do. That's just my opinion, though, something you said I was ENTITLED to just like Cynical Bear and Roamer_1 and Metmom and Count Your Change and.... Eventually, you're going to tire of this game but I am sure that you have not done your Freeper reputation much good with it. And, every time you spit out these accusations whenever Cynical Bear posts his thoughts about ANYTHING at all, we will still remember that it's all really a game and ignore it much like we already do the cartoons.

Have a good night.
