*ahem* I'm starting this here as I have a good feeling where this thread is going to go after 2-3 posts. Today's theme is "How many insecure christianic worshipers religous beliefs can I threaten, with our gracious hoast the spring equinox". So sit back and possibly you will learn something today.

Spring Equinox, also known as Ostara, occurs in the middle of March. It marks the beginning of Spring and the time when days and nights are of equal length. The Goddess manifests as Ostara or Eostre with her basket of eggs. She is accompanied by the Hare or Rabbit, a manifestation of the God. Green has been sacred to this Sabbat since ancient times, because it represents the greening of the land with vegetation. This is a festival of new growth.

Prepare egg dishes and share them with friends. Organize egg games, such as egg hunts. Decorate your home with spring flowers and sprouting greens. Wear green clothing as an affirmation of new growth within yourself and Nature.

Good easter over view with its pagan<->christianic ties

From an athiest/agnostic point of view

Some info on how and why it was 'converted'

Anyone who is voicing an argument to the contrary of what I am posting, for crying out loud do not use this link: http://www.cin.org/users/james/questions/q030.htm and do more research than the person who wrote it.

Anyhow this is sure to stir you all up so lets get to it!

So you pagan bastards are the ones that brought this bunny and egg plague on us? Bah! And since Darwin posted here... =P

I suppose really we could blame this on jesus..because there are two holidays about him, and in one he brings us fat men and elves, and in the other egg laying rabbits.

I think they came up with easter as a way to get rid of all the crappy pastel colored candy they can't sell for halloween. What the hell were they thinking with those "peeps" things ? Every one tastes like it's been sitting in a warehouse for the last 40 years. Blech! Cadbury cream eggs are the only (pardon the pun) saving grace.

it is entirely true that the christian calendar is based on revised pagan rituals. religions have always supplanted each other's holy days to push their own agenda.

easter was celebrated millienia before the name ostara was ever coined. earlier versions of the name were ishtar, the babylonian and assyrian goddess of love and fertility, and astarte, the phoenician's name for the sister, and consort, of baal.

before that, the egyptians celebrated their springtime harvest by exchanging eggs as symbols of the universe and telling children stories of hares, symbolic of the moon because they feed at night and are born with their eyes open. And you thought peter cottontail was a modern fairy tale. the lunar calendar was all important as it dictated the flooding and ebbing of the nile on which agriculture was based...but i digress.

Yeah, well *I* just got a patent on "Engaging in Festivities to Celebrate The Return of Spring And Thank God Because My Family is Dying of Starvation Due to the Harsh Winter" so I'm back-charging all religions a licensing fee.

The Catholics can send me the Pope-Mobile.

Buddhists owe me a giant golden statue. And teach me cool fightin moves.

Pagans can come water my garden since I can't make anything grow.

Devil worshipers can sacrifice a chicken on my grill with lots of BBQ sauce. But don't spill anything on my new deck.

People who worship money can do a direct deposit.

I have space in my back yard for one of those cool Easter Island statues. So whoever built them get moving!

Atheists can donate their souls since they don't need them.

I'll take one of them African witch/ghost/monster eating thingies. I think my closet is infested with something undead.

Cthulhu worshipers or victims... whatever evil eternal god you found, umm, keep it. Far away preferably.

Fundamentalist Christians can send me all their unwanted porn. I can make a profit on that.

Witch doctors can NOT send me any more curses. And stop poking me with that needle! Ow!

American Indians can come to my next party and do an anti-rain dance.

And anyone I missed an just drop their offerings in my volcano in Freelon. Unless it's breakable, then just kinda set it down gently.

Happy 'Stolen Pagan Holliday' ! :D
