What does Easter mean to you?

In related news, I'm looking forward to a rest day with a cheat meal tomorrow and a killer workout Sunday morning. That's all. :)

I know I will talk about it, but you may notice I don't usually start the discussion. I have also been careful not to start a long debate on it.

Most apologists have reformed their belief to use murder instead of kill. Difference being the intent.

Good job Shibb mabe I should cross post this to TOL but you did a better job researching then a lot of "Christians" would ever do.

I'm done with those boards. Not because I am done learning, but because they just welcome alternative points of view on the surface. They don't mind censoring what they don't like.

Easter for me is just a spring celebration. Mostly so my kids can have fun participating in the festivities. Other than that, it's just another Sunday.

It means there is an after life, there is a God and I am Blessed that I have comfort in God.

For me, mostly overeating at my parents' place. I was raised Roman Catholic, but I'm non-practicing nowadays by most standards. I pray on my own when I feel it's appropriate, but that's about it.

I would like to point out the pagan spring equinox celebration. When there is more day than night allowing for the cycle of life to begin. The whole baby animals and egg coloring are ancient pagan celebration of these events.

Something to think about is why does the day that Christ died change each year depending on spring?

The americanized version of Christmas is a very pagan ritual as well. I would say it is a theme in modern Christianity.

I was also more interested in Passover as a child than I was in Easter. It seemed more interesting and I was never really fully aware of the difference between Jews and Christians. I was raised catholic, but even in CCD I was taught that God released His people from the Egyptians. I didn't celebrate Passover, but I was more intrigued by what God did for us than why Jesus was put to death or by who.
