Today, instead of predictably advertising eggs or jesus (purpose full uncap), Google put up Cesar Chavez in memory of his birthday. Bunch of christians as well as random ritual followers are up in arms over this for reasons I know not. What ye think Shroomery?

The Jesus bd thing is a crock of shit. In some orthodox christian countries Easter isn't till some time in May hence the whole thing is a pile of made up horse shit.

For it. There is absolutely no reason people should be up in arms about it. Maybe they're confusing him with Hugo Chavez, in which case I can kind of understand - but if they're flipping shit because google is going secular than they should STFU and go eat their hams. I'm sick of people who expect others to respect their beliefs while they turn around and condemn anyone who believes in anything else - or who simply doesn't believe at all. It's 2013. I'm so sick of this bullshit. Most holidays make me grumpy.

some people just celebrate for no reason at all.
if google advertised jesus they would probably have anti jesus haters instead.

Fuck these crybabies, fuck Easter, and fuck Jesus. Good for Google deciding not to give these idiots even more attention than they already demand.

around here there seems to be a parallel between people that would get mad about this (truly mad) and racist personalities,so im laughing at the fact that they put up a latino

They could have picked something better than César Chávez for today, though. It's also Descartes birthday. He'd be 417 today, the old bastard.

I don't care about easter for its religious context, but egg decorating was always enjoyable and they're certainly more visually appealing than a portrait of cesar chavez so today I used http://www.bing.com/

Easter is a pagan festival. If Easter isn't really about Jesus, then what is it about? Today, we see a secular culture celebrating the spring equinox, whilst religious culture celebrates the resurrection. However, early Christianity made a pragmatic acceptance of ancient pagan practises, most of which we enjoy today at Easter. The general symbolic story of the death of the son (sun) on a cross (the constellation of the Southern Cross) and his rebirth, overcoming the powers of darkness, was a well worn story in the ancient world. There were plenty of parallel, rival resurrected saviours too. There was violent conflict on Vatican Hill in the early days of Christianity between the Jesus worshippers and pagans who quarrelled over whose God was the true, and whose the imitation. What is interesting to note here is that in the ancient world, wherever you had popular resurrected god myths, Christianity found lots of converts. So, eventually Christianity came to an accommodation with the pagan Spring festival. Although we see no celebration of Easter in the New Testament, early church fathers celebrated it, and today many churches are offering "sunrise services" at Easter – an obvious pagan solar celebration. The date of Easter is not fixed, but instead is governed by the phases of the moon – how pagan is that?
All the fun things about Easter are pagan. Bunnies are a leftover from the pagan festival of Eostre, a great northern goddess whose symbol was a rabbit or hare. Exchange of eggs is an ancient custom, celebrated by many cultures. Hot cross buns are very ancient too. In the Old Testament we see the Israelites baking sweet buns for an idol, and religious leaders trying to put a stop to it. The early church clergy also tried to put a stop to sacred cakes being baked at Easter. In the end, in the face of defiant cake-baking pagan women, they gave up and blessed the cake instead.
Easter is essentially a pagan festival which is celebrated with cards, gifts and novelty Easter products, because it's fun and the ancient symbolism still works. It's always struck me that the power of nature and the longer days are often most felt in modern towns and cities, where we set off to work without putting on our car headlights and when our alarm clock goes off in the mornings, the streetlights outside are not still on because of the darkness.

perhaps there were ancient rituals on the same times as easter. maybe it is just a coincidence that what is celebrated now ended up coinciding with what used to be. the days might have similarities, but there are differences in what is celebrated.

from what i hear, easter is something different to which these cards, gifts, and novelty easter products were just added to it. it seems like the two have merged.

I think Christians linked their holidays with Pagan holidays to be at the same time to make it easy for Pagans to convert.
