    The celebration of any period of time deemed holy seems archaic and depressingly redundant..societies are ever evolving..why slow down that progress by celebrating the same events year in and year out? Especially seeing how every major holiday has become commercialized and stripped of it's original meaning. Everyday is a holiday when you realise everyday is a holy day

    It's the irony of the days being considered "holy" and celebrated with pagan traditions, when the bible condemns that ? .

    I like pointing out the hypocrisy and ? of religious ? .

    Other than them being "holy", I have no problems with it.

    I personally dislike Easter, even as a kid I disliked it. Never enjoyed the whole egg hunts and baskets full of candy ? .

    My fam use to put money in the eggs.

    Money > Candy

    Ironically the money would eventually be spent on candy.

    But

    The good candy.

    Yeah, I read that.

    There's so many things that say it does and it doesn't. Easter is named after "estore" or something, but pronounced "Ishtar". But supposedly, the symbols of the eggs and rabbits are symbols of fertility... Yadda yadda yadda.. Basically, it all ends up pagan ? anyway.

    50 years ago, a rabbit made the ultimate sacrifice by laying an egg, so that we could celebrate Easter.

    Never forget.

    Rabbits dont lay eggs
    That's why it ended up being the ultimate sacrifice.

    The work/suffering that rabbit went through to lay that egg was unfathomable.

    No rabbit has laid an egg since.

    Never forget.

    you made me look crazy as ? .laughing outloud in public

    But sorry to break it to you fairytale believing mofos

    But rabbits dont lay

    No ? eggs

    They dont want you to realize divinity and how we are influenced by alignment and stars

    So months.and holidays are in an.incorrect order

    People dont mind,they just go with whatever

    Rabbits.n eggs ? it

    Fat ? in and out rooftops ? it

    Nov /dec is 9 and 10 but we'll say its 11 and 12

    Its quite comical tho.

    Yeah.

    I always think, why is it that "Christianity" was the one we got stuck with, how different would life be if we would've adopted Greek gods instead.

    While i'm not religious, I do like to seek truths. How can people be duped into believing in these false holidays for so long when the truth is out there. But people want to conform so bad that it really doesn't matter.

    Funniest things to me are how many cultures have holidays at the same relative times but worshipping allegedly different "? " or "Gods".

    Just like we have different colored people but they all still human, right? Wisdom bruh, use some damn wisdom.


    To the T/S, do you even know what Easter really is?

    The bunnies and the eggs tie to Pagan worship

    Christians adopted Easter to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus, which doesn't have anything to do with bunnies and eggs so there isn't any "swagger jacking"
