[QUOTE=Zeke129;21164189]Why do Christians celebrate Easter? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C4%92ostre]It's a pagan holiday.[/url] :smug:[/QUOTE] As are pretty much all other Christian holidays. They intentionally chose to use them as their holidays in order to crush other religions. What is particularly sad is that in doing so they totally removed any and all meaning behind the holidays. Yes, they all have actual meanings, and no the Christian ones are totally false and aren't related in any way shape or form to when events supposedly actually occurred according to the bible.

[QUOTE=Dclone2;21165591]How so?[/QUOTE] atheists are stupid and insufferable

wow who gives a shit you really think easter is a christian holiday? grow the fuck up. you twits don't own every holiday it is a PAGAN holiday

Free shit.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan;21165596]atheists are stupid and insufferable[/QUOTE] That's a very general assumption.

Ah, Ēostre. Where men beat up their wives and then have gay orgies.

[QUOTE=siberpredaht;21165598]wow who gives a shit you really think easter is a christian holiday? grow the fuck up. you twits don't own every holiday it is a PAGAN holiday[/QUOTE] there's nothing pagan about the resurrection of our lord and savior jesus christ numbskull

[QUOTE=Dclone2;21165612]That's a very general assumption.[/QUOTE] i'd say it's accurate zombie jesus day is probably the funniest fucking thing in the world holy shit atheists good one

[QUOTE=Pa20rick;21165583]Lol wow. sad.[/QUOTE] There MAY be an elephant in my shoe, I don't know though, lets worship it. ^^^ Christianity. [editline]12:00PM[/editline] [QUOTE=siberpredaht;21165627]w/e go troll someone who will fall for it[/QUOTE] Also this.

For the same reason we celebrate Christmas. We're badass and it's a free public holiday. :smug:

[QUOTE=siberpredaht;21165627]w/e go troll someone who will fall for it[/QUOTE] im being serious no shit christian and pagan holidays coincide, thank the romans for that. Easter is a celebration of christ's resurrection first and foremost you go find me one person that isn't a wiccan or some smug-ass atheist that celebrates easter as anything other than a christian/secular holiday

[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan;21165676]im being serious[/QUOTE] yea totally guys i love god and hes gr8

Because there's goddamn chocolate eggs.

Son of a God - Locked in a cave - Body not there 3 days later Christian Easter tadaaaa Religion we think is crazy - everyone gets free shit that day - Keep the gifting part Atheist Easter tadaaaa

[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan;21165635]i'd say it's accurate zombie jesus day is probably the funniest fucking thing in the world holy shit atheists good one[/QUOTE] So tired of this "it's illogical" bullcrap from these fools.

I celebrate because I enjoy it

[QUOTE=wonkadonk;21165791]I celebrate because I enjoy it[/QUOTE] this is probably the best answer

I celebrate because I get chocolate and I guess Jesus is a cool dude so why not celebrate him as well.

I can't believe you guys actually jumped on that horrible trolling attempt.

[QUOTE=Pvt. Ryan;21165507]anyone who calls it zombie jesus day is literally a brain damaged child and is probably over 300 pounds or under 100 pounds[/QUOTE] 'I didn't find your joke funny so I call you names' Okay.

[QUOTE=Tu154M;21166384]I can't believe you guys actually jumped on that horrible trolling attempt.[/QUOTE] It's "Everybody loves chocolate eggs" bandwagon. I just celebrate it by going to family and getting chocolate eggs for free.

It is a tradition, not really that much a biblical thing.

'Cause it's fun.

You may not believe in god but i'm sure everyone believes in chocolate.

Because of the chocolate eggs and lamb roast with garlic potatoes. That's my reason anyway. :v:
