Oh man do me a favor and quit attempting to impress me...it's not working.
I'm not even sitting here attempting to defend MY VIEW on this matter...but how some of those who do celebrate easter MIGHT view it.
You want to personalize this and pretend as if you know me or my belief systems...and make it about how I believe.
Show me any proof of any god coming down from the heavens and telling their followers to celebrate any ol' thing.
Guess what? You can't.
Why sure, it may be written in a book somewhere "God said to throw a party every January 15th to celebrate the birth of his propet Chaka Khan." But it doesn't make it true.
What does it matter to you that Christians choose to take a day and celebrate however they wish to?
Why are you so concerned?
Why are you so angered by it?
Why are you so threatened by it?
People do it for all sorts of political, historical figures.
We have President's Day...1 day to honor all our presidents...they were not all born on that same day now were they?
They didn't request that we do this now did they?
God didn't command that we honor our presidents on that day now did he?
There are many other days like that.
It's not that big of a deal.
You can attempt to show Christians all day long how easter and Christmas all coincide with pagan holidays...but that doesn't mean that's what they are celebrating...that doesn't mean a damn thing...because whether you like it or not..beliefs are a PERSONAL thing.
