Ester was the Goddess of fertility, a pagan God. Personally in this day and age where half the country is overweight or dabetic, then why do we want to wake up and commence eating chocolate till we throw up or die or something?

Maybe we need to convince Christianity to steal a pagan holiday that celebrates the god of getting your ass on a treadmill.

Umm, my hypothesis has roughly the same amount of proof as yours does so I wonder why you would ask for proof to begin with?

I think this is the first time in a religious debate that a religious person was the first to ask for proof lol.

I dont care if Christians "stole" it. All I care is that this stops. For years they have been called Easter eggs and now to call them "spring eggs" is just sheer stupidity.

And I don't care if you approve of theft and dishonesty and your an arrogant SOB for expecting others to approve of it simply because they have been called that for years. Is that seriously the best reason you can come up with??? I know your not the sharpest crayon in the box but really? Do you just want to keep everything the exact same because thats the way its been done or called for years?

Even funnier is the fact that you don't care that Christianity stole it but I guarantee that your head would fucking explode is Muslims decided to celebrate one of their holidays on the Spring Equinox. Would be even funnier if they used something completely unrelated to help celebrate it like spring eggs.

Call them by the proper name. Would you like it if your name was attacked or your holidays?

Thank you for finally coming around and seeing the right side of the issue. For far to long society has had to endure exactly what you just described. I would like to thank you for finally realizing that we hide spring eggs to celebrate the Spring Equinox.

Considering you've provided no proof of your's (and others) claim of the existence of this "G-d" in countless other threads; it's quite hilarious to see you asking others for proof of their claims.

Really, you should take your act on the road.

And neither, sir, do you.

Your point essentially isn't?

If someone attacked my holidays by not celebrating them I would strike back by not celebrating their holidays even more.

Your right. Don't celebrate their holidays and dont give any money to support them BUT whats happening is still wrong. Why dont they do this to other religions holidays

Do what to other religions holidays? Not celebrate them??? Not have a ton of public entities use public funds to celebrate them? What exactly?
