Easter: A time to celebrate sex

So it would appear that Christmas (formerly the Festival of Saturnalia) isn't the only debauched pagan festival that the Christians stole.

They stole Easter too, turning what was once a celebration of the joys of sex, fertility, fornication, etc. into a celebration of the resurrection myth. :(

You're still free to celebrate Ishtar.

it always cracks me up that ham is the traditional easter meal.

yeah other religions... take that shyt.... the meat that is like kryptonite to you and your gods is the shyt we eat on a  holiday.

Oh goddammit. Whoever created that graphic needs to learn what the f*ck they're talking about. Ishtar and Easter are completely different deities with no connection between them (even if there are some generic similarities). Ishtar is a Semetic deity. Easter is Germanic. Nor is the egg or rabbit connected with Ishtar.

And as a Christian holiday Easter isn't entirely hijacked from other religions. It coincides with Passover, which makes sense given Christianity's Jewish roots.

You call it Easter, I call it wabbit season!\chestmaster1989

Somebody likes to take things from Facebook wall reposts. As someone already mention not everything from facebook pictures is accurate. Here's one that my friend posted about deforestation that is also innacurate.

All logic is not lost in this thread.  Thank you for an educated post.

That is only one interpretation for the term.....hence we have this quote.... The evidence for the Anglo-Saxon goddess, however, has not been universally accepted, and some have proposed that Eostre may have meant "the month of opening" or that the name Easter may have arisen from the designation of Easter Week in Latin as in albis

At my old church they said that Easter isn't only about Jesus but also to celebrate new life, so yes even in Christianity it's about sex.
