Seriously, did Christians steal every fun thing from the Pagans and pretend it was Christian? Because thats where the Easter Bunny came from.

So if it was just Christian Easter it would be celebrating some guy dying.
And if it was just Pagan it would be Eggs and Easter and chocolate and no celebration of Jesus Death.


Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

I wonder which one I would pick?

We stole the cross from the Romans too! It no longer invokes fear into people, but hope. So what's your point?

So are you Pagan? So what do you do for your pagan religion? nothing... oh... so you aren't very dedicated to it? What does your pagan religion do for you? nothing... oh.. so not very helpful. So are you sure you aren't just a fool that thinks he's pagan?

I think it was mainly the Romans. They adopted local customs as part of their expansion. They just happened to be Christian.

Love it!!! Great! I will answer all those for you. See... Jesus did all for us. We aren't Christian until the point we sin again. We don't have to keep doing things in order to stay Christians. It's not like any other world religion. You accept Christ and He goes in your place. The power to the light stays on, we don't have to keep peddling the bike to keep the power running to it. It's not like other religions. We cannot do anything to be taken out of this. We do things for others because we have already received our gift of being saved. We want others to experience this as well. As I would like you to.

You just made an argumentative fallacy. It's called a straw man argument. You stated an untrue position and then said I was arguing from that position. You proposed that I was pagan, even though I'm not and didn't say I was, and then

1)accused me of not supporting my pagan religion
2)accused the pagan religion of not helping anyone, including me.
3)accused me of being a fool pretending to be pagan.

None of these arguments are valid towards my position because you misrepresented my position.

Are you sure you aren't just a fool who thinks he's Christian?

I must admit, besides some of the bullshit you spew when attacking people, you're actually an okay guy. I haven't read too much bullshit like I read from most Christians.












































I'd fuck you if I was gay.

Is it just me, or does that easter bunny have downs syndrome?

You certainly get hope from a very strange place. Perhaps that's why you believe in vicarious redemption through human sacrifice.

HA HA! LOL at the Candy Bouquet bunny. So you up in PA or just pirated the pic off the net like my av is? Did you're mommy take that one and send it to your phone while she was buying your easter plastic eggs to hide in your back yard or something! Happy Belated Easter!!!

I hope you ate lots of ham, and appreciated all the Easter family that were over your house making your breakfast out of those pagan easter eggs and praying at your breakfast table to legba or whoever it is you pagan bunny worshippers pray to at the table...

ok scratch all this stuff, I'm probably gonna just go in a closet and lay down a sacred blanket from the local Priest and take a bath in Holy Water then pray for you and your candy striping bunny. Well I hope to hear from you soon!

remember he had fasted quite a while before being taken to the cross. So he could have very likely been very "ripped" considering his body would have eaten most of if any fat he had in order to continue to have energy to survive.

the cross has no meaning whatsoever to me or the denomination of faith i believe in...

the cross itself is a symbol of pagan worship, as it represents the sun, but more importantly, the catholic faith...

Yes this is a good thing to do. Most Christian beliefs have the same core views. Virgin Birth of Christ, pre-existent with the father, Died upon the cross to pay our sin debt in full for anyone that accepts Him, ressurrected after the 3rd day and an eventual return to earth to reign forever.

It's the little things that we can debate and sharped each other with, which are fine. I personally like discussing Genesis 1-11

see, the thing about the cross, why would any Christian wear a symbol that Christ died upon?

Because every death cult needs icons or lucky charms
