Be a true American Christian....boycott Easter

Recommended Posts

The name "Easter" is based on german-pagan mythology.

"The name for this holiday comes from much older times whose customs we're now not all that familiar with. Many old religions had a Spring Goddess, a special deity who breathed life back into the world, both by banishing Old Man Winter and by encouraging growing things to grow and living things to mate. She went by many names. The Scandinavians called her Ostra, the Anglo-Saxons Eostre, and those who lived in the region that is now Germany knew her as Eastre.

The Easter Bunny is of German origin. He shows up in 16th century literature as a deliverer of eggs, in his own way a springtime St. Nicholas bent on rewarding the good. (Colored eggs were left only for well-behaved good children, you see.) "

I know it's not France, but why stop at Freedom Fries?

Well I guess we'll have to piss away Christmas too. Santa is just an anagram for Satan.

Yes. Christmas is indeed just the northern European (pagan) winter soltice festival re-named.

And most of our months and days are named for pagan gods too: Sun, Moon, Twia, Thor, Woden, Freya, Saturn, Janus, Mars, Maia, Juno, Julius, Augustus (emperors being considered deities).

>men wearing orange?

Orangemen. The Protestant Orange Order marches through Portadown in N. Ireland once a year, through a mostly catholic neighborhood, and they often get unruly. Occasionally they burn down a few buildings. Nothing new; it's been going on for about 300 years now in one form or another.

Then throw away christianity alltogether. All its major holidays and rituals are pagan. Made the christianity easier to swallow in europe if it resembled their current practices. Much easier to control a group of people who are afraid of a spiteful god who wants you to be meek and humble than one (or many) who want you to live as equal to them and fight for your land and family. As it was mentioned find new days of the week. Our society is pumping with pagan blood in its veins. To believe monotheistic christianity sprung from the ground is almost laughable except for the fact that so many have filled the spiritual void in their lives with it. Pesonally I believe christainity has done more to destroy life on this planet then any means of physical destruction man can dream up. Not to bash anyone who truly believes but if you looked at what religion did for you in your life you would do good to see what lies in your past and connect with your true spirtuality and not some king james toilet paper rag. Hell i think the bible holds more water as a hermeticly coded description of the acient writings o atlantis but I jump out of planes so I must be a nutbag.

Yep. that's right, it was when the Roman emperor decided to convert himself & all of Rome to Christianity in the 4th century. At the beginning of the 4th century, you could be killed for being a Christian. At the end of the 4th century, you could be killed for NOT being a Christian.

So they swapped in Christmas for Saturnalia.

In the Bible the Gospel according to Luke mentions shepherds tending their sheep out in the fields. That means the Christ was probably born in the springtime, not Dec 25th. If it was winter time, the sheep would have been kept in the corral.

Who cares, as long as you don't forget what Christmas is really about. People like the trees & the gifts & Santa Claus etc. so WTF.

And if you somehow, by some miracle or another, escape from him you'd better stay alert 'cause that means I'll be after you. When I catch you I'll force feed you Fosters (swill of the south) with peanut butter and Vegemite sandwiches. With the Vegemite spread thickly. Then I'll hand you over to PhillyKev..:)

well fine, believe what you want. Religious bigotry is probably not going away any time soon.

But the hypocracy of the whole politcally correct movement is pretty obvious right here. When someone blames Islam for terrorism, everyone leaps to correct him/her, saying, "Oh no, it's just a few fucked up people with a warped version of it!" (And I believe this is in fact correct )
But when someone does the same thing with Christianity, it's seen as correct in certain circles. The whole PC movement is a sham, it is nothing more than substituting in a more fashionable form of bigotry.

yeah, well Jews don't get to eat candy on Easter because its still passover so nyaah nyahh nyaaaah!!:P My Catholic church (or at least the one I go to in Baltimore sometimes) is pretty cool: it recognizes its Jewish roots so we actually celebrate Passover: the whole deal, we wear the yarmulkas, we read from the Haggadah & do the whole thing with the matzo, bitter herbs, and the wine (oh yeah, the wineB| let's not forget Catholics are the Irish, Polish, and Italians in Baltimore..B|) When I was growing up in Boston all my Jewish friends said that the coolest thing about Passover is you could watch your grandmother get drunk!:DB|
