Why is there an argument now? -_- This was just supposed to be a fun thread.

but this IS fun!

welcome to the internet

 

If you consider being shot in the face fun, then yes, it is quite fun!

no, no, you got it all wrong, it's not like being shot in the face, it's like watching someone being shot in the face!



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”

but you can also learn something new about people! for instance i thought one member hates a certain group of people, now i find out that is not enterily true, he actually seems to hate everyone who has more fun them him.

I think I know who you're talking about.  

The conversations just go too overboard, some are fine most led to hatred of certain groups and unnecessary name calling.

Except it wasn't even a Christian holiday to begin with. Move it to another date then. But if that makes me and half the world a hypocrite, then so be it. 

And you're wrong; I don't want to go anywhere with this, it was you who brought it up, remember?


UGH WHAAAT? You mind telling me what other religion celebrates the resurrection of Christ??? You know, before he even was on this planet...

 

You're the one that quoted me first dude..


He is just saying that the a previous European religion (before Christianity existed) had a holiday on that very date, which the Christians then took in order to successfully eradicate and stomp the previous religion. Same goes for any Christian holiday, and texts from the Bible even suggests that the present dates for Jesus birth and death are inaccurate.


The date may be the same, but the reason for celebration is completely christian and only christian

That's the thing, now it is not completely a christian holiday and you just have to accept that. 

Easter is a moveable feast, meaning it is not fixed in relation to the civil calendar. It has been completely christian from its beginning and its completely christian now. Or let me ask you again... You mind telling me what other religion celebrates the resurrection of Christ??

I mean, on christmas you can atleast make an argument that it was celebrated as a pagan holiday on the exact same date...but Easter...nah...its just plain 100% christian

Well, obviously not...otherwise I and many others wouldn't "participate" in it by eating lots of chocolate. We have to celebrate Easter too so the few hardcore christians here don't get lonely.


You see, that's just the thing...you're NOT participating in it, you're just exploiting it

Okay, wait a bit while I exploit it further. *Eats more chocolate*


lol if you're trying to provoke me, you're wasting your time, i already said i don't give a fuck on how people act on this holiday and they shouldn't be forbidden to do what they want, i just find it pathetic when people think its a secular holiday lol

It's not what they think, it's what it is in many people's minds. Easter is something totally different in my mind than celebration of our Lord and Saviour etc. etc. If the church gets to create a holiday out of thin air, why can't we?

You can create whatever the fuck you want, just leave our holidays out of it
