Here's what I learned from Easter church services:

1) Most Christians don't know Easter is a pagan holiday and refuse to believe it if you tell them.

---

false. the vernal equinox is the 'pagan' holiday, easter doesnt fall on the equinox

---

Easter's date has something to do with the moon cycle (like menstruations), so it is still all paganny and shit.

---

as does the date of the passover, it's a sunday after the full moon just as
easter falls in the latter part of the passover week, the 'pagans' dont
celebrate the vernal equinox a week after the full moon do they?

The pagan thing is more that they used astronomical events to schedule their orgies.

I'm sitting at my girlfriends grandparents house with her entire extended family of christians. The christians that believe in the literal interpretation of the bible. Its hard to understand how they can be so convinced of complete and utter nonsense.

Days like these make whiskey taste so much better.

my girlfriend of 5 years is a christian creationist who denies evolution


it doesn't cause arguments very frequently and I have never once tried to convince her she was wrong.  rather it is HER telling me that I AM wrong.


I even grant her that Jesus of Nazareth may have lived, even though his entire existence is hearsay.  I grant that he spread messages of peace even. But he was mortal.  and she just does NOT want to hear that.  her precious savior, the source of all moral values
