Since when did we forsake ourselves and take Christianity out of Easter?

Everywhere I go, all the social media I look at it’s all about candy, eggs, the Easter bunny. The eradication of Christianity and the lost meaning of meaningful holidays is so disappointing. This county is turning into hell in a hand basket.

Easter has been commercialized for decades, but I’m really not seeing a non-religiously-dominated Easter these days. Not like it is with Christmas.

Maybe you’re too sensitive to it? Religious Easter is still alive and well. Prospering, even.

Easter has been a product of Pagan-Christian syncretism even since it became a "holy day." Nothing new under the sun.

You realize Christians inserted themselves into other holidays right? Not the other way around.

Preach it.

This country has gone down hill on morals, manners, etc. because heaven forbid we piss off a ethnic group or foreigner that enters OUR country.

this too

This holiday has ALWAYS been about rebirth

That's why early Christians used the Spring celebration for the resurrection of Christ. It's what ancient people would recognize and accept (due to all the religions of their era using the Spring in the same way)

I'll tell you what religious holiday has lost all meaning due to greed and profit. Valentine's. Once a celebration of true, unbreakable love and devotion.

Get better friends. My feed is inundated with mentions of Christ’s resurrection.

Yep. Ever since man invented god(s), this has been the way spring is celebrated. It predates Jesus by thousands of years.

Exactly! The whole “Xmas” thing is a perfect example. They play it off like it’s a quick and convenient way to write Christmas, but it’s plainly obvious what they’re crossing out with that x.
