Someone tell me the point of Easter

[xRomanChan]

No seriously please someone do this?
Apparently its for Jesus death.
But then people celebrate it by eating chocolate and doing egg hunts.
So why say its about Jesus if people just use it as an excuse to eat rabbit-shaped chocolate for cheap?


And to lighten it up..
Here have a pinkie pie.

christians adopted the pagan spring time solstice holiday, claimed it was jesus' ressurection, and voila, easter.

c00l story "christians".

Never got the point of so-called "religious" holidays.

so people feel good about dying, if you beleiee in some higher power, than life doesn't seem so horrible, and having faith that you still be "alive" after death brings comfort to most

Dude, sarcasm, I get it

What's there good to feel about dieing? You get to go to the afterlife? Please, you can end this "misery" called life and get done with it, not waste your time and other's. People are afraid of dieing.

christmas is the winter solstice holiday that christians took, and claimed was jesus' birth from the pagans, HOWEVER, if you read scripture more thoroughly, you'll notice that what they describe is actually early-mid spring time, not the dead of winter


like 90% of the christian holidays are actually old pagan holidays converted and exploited

Didn't the calendar change move it?
