Yes, we are too.
And we hope that the people who don't believe in celebrating Jesus have a peaceful long weekend with their nearest and dearest.

"Who else is celebrating jesus during this eater weekend? I am and I will have a nice easter dinner too "
From the other thread not my words
agree totally , there are comments that I and other Christians find dis tasteful
I will never understand why people find humour in mocking other peoples beleifs
If you don't agree with them just ignore them, no need to mock and try to be funny
But I agree these kind of posts should not be on here
Because of the words
celebrating jesus
IF ,IF? IF
A jesus existed it created all the nasty virus that exist
Celebrating is not concept I feel real or fictional the character deserves
there are comments that I and other non Christians find dis tasteful

I cant understand why you have started a second post on this subject, there will be disrespectful replies which would cause upset to some people
I have my faith - im waiting for the hypocrite calls because im on here - and though I don't attend church as much as I should my faith is important to me
I wish everyone a happy weekend in these troubled days |

I think even for people who are not spiritual it’s a powerful story about unconditional love and sacrificial giving. A good time to reflect on our values |

Not written by me
From someone last thread
We often wonder why it's acceptable to slate Christians and our beliefs, but not Islam - is it because such people are too scared to upset Muslims bit think is Christians will just turn the other cheek?
It certainly helps us fill our block list!
No one should be slated
However with regards Christians these particular last threads have referred to the Christian festival Easter 
Now that said why have you ignored that in at least two posts the last thread I included hindu and Islam
From my perspective I usually consider the 3 abrahamic myths as one Judaism christianity and Islam
And almost always quote them
So please note some do comment on the other abrahamic sects . Of course it is an observed trait that many who believe are selective about the texts they quote  |

My dear old dead crazy mother was Spanish so I was born a catholic by default and then followed schooling by Nuns and senior schooling by monks/brothers so I and my family will not be celebrating your Jesus but fully respect your right to celebrate as you see fit.
Haribos or non Haribos of course.!!

I actually think this is refreshing considering how many bloody rate someone’s backside there’s been.
If the OP chooses to do another thread, he can, I imagine if it was another ‘my mate fancies you’ there wouldn’t be such outrage |

Sorry but I never understood the Easter story.... The God that divides himself up to take a human form, to make a blood sacrifice of himself, to himself, to save the people he condemned to eternal torture, for breaking (Or for their ancestors breaking) the rules that he invented.....
And celebrating passover is absoloutly awful! Why would anyone celebrate a God murdering children, for propaganda. In the Exodus story every time Phaero wanted to release the Jews God would "harden his heart"! So the whole exercise was about sending a message, and not just about freeing his people...
I'm happy to celebrate Easter as a spring festival. It's the time of rebirth and renewal of the earth in the northern hemisphere, and a harvest festival in the southern hemisphere.
And a great time for kids to enjoy family time and Chocolate! This is far more positive to me than the religious view of it.
I'm happy to celebrate the Easter! Just take the religion out of it! |

There and to the left a bit |
I don't believe and haven't done since I was force fed religion as a child but I respect the right of others to believe in whatever entity they choose - if it provides a level of faith and belief and indeed comfort at a personal level then it can only be a good thing.
I have my own personal views on the concept of organised religion but they are not for this thread - whether you're a believer or non-believer I hope you all have a fantastic and fulfilling weekend |

"I would normally celebrate the feast of Eostre!"
I wonder if there is any link with the word
Estrogen?
But absolutely whatever it looks like the egg festival of Easter the symbolic rising from metaphoric death has nothing to do with the spring festival Eostre that did not precede it at all |

I was told on the other thread that my being an atheist was a belief in itself. Of course it is not it,is the lack of belief. But I note previous objections trying to censor my position and that of others in regard to the sky god. A number of folk had complained that our opinions were offensive. I scanned the threads and saw, in the main the concept of a god
and Easter being ridiculed. I saw nothing personal. I tend to think those who take offence in those circumstances choose to take offence. My response is that these people have clearly walked around with their eyes shut and their intellectual faculties closed. So, instead of putting forward an opinion I will disclose a link to some facts!
Apologies made by the pope!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_apologies_made_by_Pope_John_Paul_II
Pardon me but you might note that one of those apologies is to women, which is about half the human race!
Now given that a religious apologist will rely on 'objective morality' and this guidance transcends through the pope's personal link with god (either directly or inspiration) how can you possibly with half a brain believe all this nonsense. The crimes by the church against the innocent make the relatively minor assaults against your beliefs chicken feed when compared with the atrocities carried out in the name of religion and in particular in the name of the pope or Jesus Christ.
Personally I cannot think of a better place to express my views. I am sure that my letter to the 'Lords Spiritual' (House of Lords) sent many years ago was filed in the bin. Religion permeates the whole of our society so I think it fair an atheist should be allowed comment on a general discussion thread...its precisely what it's for! |

Who else is celebrating Easter the op asked.
I am / I am not; would of done with perhaps a little context.
Instead in so many replies it turned into a continuation of the other thread.
I'm looking forward to Roast Lamb and then Easter Eggs. In that order.
Happy Easter |

"I am not celebrating Jesus or any other fictitious indulgence.
Muslim?"
My view would be Allah is based up the same abrahamic fiction as yahweh an old testament bronze age blood cult
If a person needs to believe in either that's no concern of mine x
If they suggest certain bronze age "morals" or practices should be adhered to it becomes my concern
If someone comes onto a free for all web forum suggesting something is true I may articulate why I disagree

This was actually the most worrying thing about the previous thread - the amount of people that seemed to think criticising religion shouldn't be allowed and was somehow a taboo thing to be doing
Really quite disturbing and shows exactly why religious claims have to be scrutinised |

"I am not celebrating Jesus or any other fictitious indulgence.
You're not even going to have a chocolate bunny?"
Not fussy on chocolate but I did have an Oreo mint bar cos they were only 49p in my local food store
I find today's chocolate lacks an essential ingredient.
Now im back on the no choc wagon.... now a cheese n onion bunny ..... how good would that be ? |

"I actually think this is refreshing considering how many bloody rate someone’s backside there’s been.
If the OP chooses to do another thread, he can, I imagine if it was another ‘my mate fancies you’ there wouldn’t be such outrage "

I was raised within a strict Catholic household,so as soon as I left home I was happy to put all that behind me.
I am a spiritual person though and appreciate the moral codes of all religions and spiritual beliefs. Even though I don't believe in God per say, I do believe in the spiritual order of the universe and our connection with it.
I wish you all peaceful Easter and may you God go with you.

I note with interest that thousands more have died of Covid19 in the last 24hrs. Surely this weekend above all others would have been the opportune time for god to have worked his "magic" for his children.
But as usual......
Stay safe people & help the true miracle workers, the NHS. |

Why not go and search for the answer to that.
It is there for all to find.

If only I had the capability to do so, but then, there are millions more capable people out there that can.
I'm not making out people with religious beliefs to be bad people, I'm just frustrated for them. So much death & suffering in the world for hundreds of years and yet your god allows it to continue. As for religion in general, it has caused more wars than prevented.
I sat by my dying wife's hospice bed for a week watching her life ebb away, twice she found the strength to beg me to let her die. And when she finally slipped away on xmas eve I wasn't angry with god, how I could I be so with something that doesn't exist ? |

"It is the resurrection of jesus today "
That was an impressive feat by God shag
Go on rather than being provocative
In your own words and understanding explain your gods role and motivation in meticulously design and creating cov-sars2
I dont dismiss your desire or right to follow your religion
However I feel overtly celebrating a so called saviour on a day where thousands have died and suffered is perhaps a bit inconsiderate to their families grief

Respecting choices is the key word. You may not beleive in a god.
But you need to respect a person who does.
To me by not doing that would lead people to think you would have no respect to their wishes when it comes to sex.
We are free to make our choices and you may not like it but its their choice not yours.
Even non beleivers should understand that. |

Wise words and very simple.
Amazing just how many people don't agree. |

It's a form of mass control of the population, invented by powerful people to control the weak.
It is contradictory, it is ancient in its beliefs dreamt up in a time before science.
All important scientific discoveries were made by people who chose to go against the churches beliefs in order to enlighten humanity. All churches would have us all living in the dark ages. All religions are farcical. They'd be funny if they didn't have so much power. |

"How can his death be a sacrifice.. when he is immortal... (if you even believe in the imaginary thing in the first place)"
It really stems back to old tribal superstitions where they would pile the sins of the tribe on a goat and then sacrifice it. The sins of the tribe were then supposed to die with goat
But yes, if you look at the story with a clear mind then God didnt give a son, he leant one |

If you look at the story with a clear mind then God doesn't exist and neither does his son.
Is all bollocks! Total and utter shite! Crap, fiction, drivvel, pisch, tosh and mumbo jumbo.
If you believe then you are stupid. |

I'm speaking as a non believer and yes i cant find any reason to think any of it is actually true, however there are intelligent people that still believe - I just think they compartmentalise their beliefs |

"I have now done another thread about jesus "
Theses threads are the social media equivalent of Jehovah's Witnesses and their practice of cold calling.
Keep your faith by all means, I wish you no ill, but not everyone wants it rammed down their throats.
Stay safe. |

From what I read of the forum you have been thinking the media has exaggerated the severity of cov-sars2??
But if you have been thinking about the alleged saviour and not just provoking a reaction I wonder what your thoughts are upon a God faking the death of an immortal child and how such blatant deception could ever save humanity from its sins which are? Please enlighten me I hear the word sins but not sure what I can or cannot do
So shag as you have spent your day reflecting??? |
