You're wrong . You probably won't care because I don't know if the author is Jewish or called Christian the Tasmanian, but you can look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/religion/christianity/easter.shtml[^] Jesus was Jewish, his death and resurection occured during the Jewish holiday. What Christians celebrate today on Easter Sunday is his resurection, and wether you like it or not, it IS the most important day of the year for them.

Passover is Jewish, but was celebrated by Christ (who was a Jew). Good Friday is the mourning of His death and Easter is the celebration of his resurrection. I think you're confusing the dates with the pagan nature of Roman holidays (an intentional confusion frequently done by militant atheists). The dates were chosen because they were not already known and previous pagan holidays already occurred on those dates. The commemoration has nothing to do with paganism.

No, they were simply adopting Christianity. Christ's date of birth was not known, so they made December 25th the day of the celebration because it was easier that way.

So couldn't the Pope just fucking ask Jesus? Or better still couldn't the Disciples and other assorted fucks who wrote the bible just ask Jesus or Mary directly?

Easter was chosen from pagan dates. Christ celebrated the passover (yes, he was a Jew) and instituted something new for Christians, the Memorial of Christ's Death. I don't know what you mean the dates were not already known. Jesus died on Nissan 14 of the Jewish calendar, the day of the passover. Nissan 14 corresponds to the first full moon after the Spring equinox which, on our calendar this year, was April 12th. Easter does come from pagan religions.

Santa and the easter bunny are more recent inventions.

You claim not to be a militant atheist, yet here you are attacking Christianity to spread your creed. I've heard and read numerous times (from atheists) that Christianity is only based on Roman paganism because they chose to supplant their pagan holiday with a Christian one. you might not be trying to make that claim right now, but it's certainly not a new one. Your suggestion that Christians are emotionally/intellectually inferior is another claim commonly made by militant atheists. If it looks like a duck and walks like a duck...It's probably a duck.

Actually, as I stated, the Easter bunny is a recent invention: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_bunny[^] "Recently, a neopagan legend has sprung up concerning the Easter Bunny. Though it is usually circulated as a Pagan tradition, it does not appear before 1990; it is presented by a fictitious character, Mrs. Sharp, created by an author of inspirational aphorisms. (Sarah Ban Breathnach, 'Nostalgic Suggestions for Re-Creating the Family Celebrations and Seasonal Pastimes of the Victorian Home'). It reached a far wider audience when in 2002 a version of the story, The Coming of Eostre, was published in Cricket magazine. According to the story, Eostre found a wounded bird in the snow. To help the little bird survive the winter, she transformed it into a rabbit, but the transformation was incomplete and the rabbit retained the ability to lay eggs. In thanks for its life being saved, the rabbit took the eggs and decorated them and left them as gifts for Eostre.[2] This story is deemed fakelore by critics, who point out that it has never appeared in any historical account of pagan celebrations, nor in any attempt to reconstruct the same by folklorists such as Grimm. There is also no historical evidence linking Ostara to the hare or rabbit." Christianity is not tainted by pagan beliefs. That's just another angle of attack taken up by militant atheists bent on destroying the concept of any religion but their own.

Correct. The same is true with Christmas. Nothing in the Gospels states when Jesus was born, so the celebration of his birth was set to coincide with the Roman festival of Saturnalia. In this case also the Christian celebration has replaced the pagan observances. Deus caritas est

yeah, I don't personally get the whole Easter Bunny connection (as I said). However, Google tells me that the Easter Bunny first came around in Germany in the 1500's. It may be a symbol of springtime, but that doesn't make it a pagan symbol by any interpretation.
