Christmas is pretty pagan too, when you look at it’s origins.

Specops17 ,

Not that obvious in my place where myspace and xboxes are virtually non-existant, wiis are scarce and the only games they sell in here are pirated ps2 DVDs.

God forbids us to learn the obvious fact that different people have different circumstances.

The band “Marley’s Ghost” has a song with a similar theme. They are “Zarathustra Boosters!”

John the Geologist “…..burning the people you dislike in November is a lot more fun than going to church.”

As is getting poked in the eye with a sharp stick, as I often say. Not that I mind looking at the altar boys and wondering which will be the priest’s sacrificial lamb of the evening.

As we seem to have Yuletide logs to celebrate the birth of sweet baby jeezuz we ought to have easter logs to commemorate the one he was nailed to at the other end of his life.

Specops – it just had to be said ! You can see why he/she posts under “anonymous”.

JoJo – I provide legal support on a “no win/no fee” basis so if you get off let me know and I will invoice you.

Daoloth – some good points well worth reflecting on. You have to admit that shagging yourself senseless at Easter and burning the people you dislike in November is a lot more fun than going to church.

Slugsie- I think the Halloween/ Easter thing is a Beltane/ Samhaim split? Both are meant to be Lunar rather than solar (although Halloween has stabilised). They are both Solstices and concerned with the growing season either beginning (sex, bunnies etc) or ending (fires, sacrifices etc).
Both got appropriated by the incoming religion and the preceding celebrations were somewhat demonised or sanitised.
All ceremonies are a hybrid I guess- check out the weird stuff that happens in South American Churches touched by indiegous religions sometime.
I, for one, look forward to Zombie Jesus day.

This is very funny. I think that author just squeezed myspace and facebook into myface; and nintendo wii, playstation, and xbox into nintendo playbox. A good one!

Author, more fodder for your thoughts……(bowing, genuflected, rug-butting, whichever gives more praise unto thee author…)

So, what exactly is the meaning of easter? It being a festival with no fixed day, and celebrated by the consumption of chocolate eggs delivered by bunny rabbits?

I think Halloween is more medieval supernatural/eldritch based whereas Easter is more connected with ancient pagan earth/fertility rituals going back maybe 8-10,000 years.

The proof lies in the fact that we do not wear hockey masks at Easter or slash up young blondes.

John The Geologist: It really doesnâ€™t really get any more pagan than Easter does it.

So you’ve not heard of Halowe’en?

“Myface”? “Nintendo Playboxes”? What an old fuddy-duddy Jebus is (though I suppose if I’d reached 2000 I’d feel the same). I’m sure he’s right though. First of all they don’t know what Easter is about, next thing you know they’ll all be smoking drugs and listening to their long-haired “punk” music.

Here’s a Linux distribution that Jebus would approve of: http://ubuntuce.com/
And here’s one for Mo: http://www.ubuntume.com/
