Days off school.
And Chocolate that I get tired of eating and save in my secret place until eating them while watching BB In Summer


People who celebrate Easter/Christmas for all this holy **** are weirdos.
God doesnt exist. Even if he did, it was probley his birthday in July or somthing but people just make it be December so we can get off more.

Easter means nothing to me. I eat chocolate all the time anyways! And I have no uni or anything so makes no difference to me.

Is Easter about a guy that died and then came back from the dead with super Jedi powers to destroy the evil empire controling the galaxy chocolate bar?

[Sticks]

The word Easter comes from Eostre an Anglo Saxaon pagon Goddess, so Christians celebrating Easter are celebrating a pagan rite.

Jesus died during the time of passover, so why did we not just keep passover as like the lambs that were slaughtered so their blood could be put on the lintels of the houses so the Angel of Death would pass over during the final plague, Jesus was our passover lamb, so that those who come to him will not meet with the second death.

Incidentally in the King James Bible in Acts 12:4, the word Easter is used, but look at it in any other translation and you will see that this is a mistranslation. The word should have been Passover. One time in a conversation on PalTalk (is that still going?) with a King James only guy, I mentioned this mistranslation and he said that Paul used this word since the others would not understand Passover. He did not stay around long enough too hear

• As stated before, Easter comes from Anglo Saxon England and not Judea
• It was not Paul referring to this festival it was Herod who would be familiar with the Jewish Passover
• Everyone in that region would know of Passover
• The festival of Easter came long after the close of the Apostolic age

So what does Easter mean?

Another festival that was stolen from the Pagans by an early and corrupted Catholic church hiarachy.

The Bible is quite clear in Acts 20:7 by example we are to remember the death burial and ressurection every first day of the week in the Lord's Supper, not just once a year in a festival which has a complex way of being calculated which is disputed by two major denominations.
