Ex - "What Is Easter For Anyway?"

Ex - "What Is Easter For Anyway?"
Me - "Jesus' resurrection"
Ex - "Hahahaha. So really, what is Easter for?"


A resurrection is pretty ridiculous if you think about it.

 

[paulney]

South Park anyone?

 

[Eli]

Yes, yes it is.

And Easter has virtually nothing to do with it in this day and age.

 

[Juice Box]

Was having a conversation about this the other day with one of my friends. How did whoever relate Jesus's resurrection to a rabbit bringing kids eggs? *confused*

Easter is the biggest sham of all holidays. But I got it off of work, so I guess that's a plus.

Easter is a religious holiday. The Easter bunny and anyone who is non-religious but celebrates Easter as a holiday are neo-pagans.

It's not that complicated. Easter is in Spring, which has always been associated with a time of "re-birth" and a celebration of fertility and growth. Rabbits and eggs are pretty symbolic of fertility.

By and by, the Christian holiday of Easter, due simply to popularity and timing, absorbed the pagan rituals and celebrations, and along with good 'ol Capitalism, gave us modern-day Easter.


At least, that's my explanation. *shrug*

You can make an argument like that for xmas, but besides some chocolate bunnies easter isnt really all that commercialized.

You should look up how much money people spend on Easter.

This is, of course, very brief, but essentially true. Jesus told his disciples to remember his death by the Passover, not his resurrection by a bastardized blend of pagan fertility rites, sun worship, and commercialization...and on the wrong day, to boot.

PEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS!

Your ex just need to learn not to ask questions. Just dye the eggs and keep her mouth shut.
You don't want Jesus to throw the NCS (Ninja Christ Star) on you.

 

[FoBoT]

[HardcoreRobot]

yes, and so is not knowing what the holiday is for as well

Christianity kinda falls flat without it though... Just roll with it.

That's like saying you should know about Chokusai and Obon. She's not from nor does she live in a nation that recognizes easter

 

[Leros]

Eosturmonath was the lunar month that contained the Spring Equinox. There was a festival devoted to Eostre, the goddess of spring, rebirth, fertility, etc.

Like many other Christian holidays, Easter is a pagan holiday that they Christianized.

 

[Luthien]

obviously easter is about sex. ResErrections are used to make eggs and the kids are kept healthy eating the eggs so they can grow up and have ResErrections too, lol.

what's that got to do with celebrating easter?

understand that even christmas in japan is devoid of religious overtones. Non-christian citizens haven't a clue what the christian holidays are for

 

[uhohs]

i know, just pointing out that i find it funny they adopted those holidays/rituals.
