I hate Easter. I just hate it
Okay, I lose two days pay to celebrate a Judeo-Christian celebration. I am neither Jewish nor Christian, but all good. I would rather work but I literally can't. So I do not go to church. What do I do instead? I give an egg to my daughter. An egg. I remember Christ was on the cross holding an Easter Egg that the Easter bunny gave to him...
No, wait a moment....THAT is not the Judeo-Christian celebration we are celebrating. The Egg and the Bunny are remnants of a lost Pagan celebration which is not in any way part of the biblical mythology or narrative. It is lost in history what the Hell we are trying to celebrate. I trust vaguely that it is somehow a renewal thing based on the seasons that are in opposition to the ones we have in our Hemisphere.
Christianity adopted THIS Tradition as they did others like Valentines Day. Most of the various Saints are other religions Gods and worshipped figures that they "amalgamated". St Nicholaus? Part elf/part Winter Spirit/part Saint Nicolaus/Part 1930's Coca Cola Commercialised figure with red clothes and white hair and beard. hardly about a messiah being born.
Truth is that the dates of Jesus's death and birth were not even correct but were changes to accommodate these existing celebrations that they are celebrating.
Yet we take time off we do not want to take, We are not paid and have to buy crap based on a myth that we know is contrived and commercialised and that we don't believe in but that we pretend we both do believe and like. Its all a fat pile of crap.
Oh yes. Bah humbug
