Easter Holds no Significance (46)
serene56: ... to many so why do we have a long weekend to 'celebrate' it
Today is Easter Saturday and all I've heard all afternoon is chainsaws from next door and now that the sun has gone down, young drunk blokes hooning up and down the street...
Sad to say this is the case everywhere business as usual, except the government, is off and has another free day on Monday, like no mail delivery etc. Today is Easter Saturday and all I've heard all afternoon is chainsaws from next door and now that the sun has gone down, young drunk blokes hooning up and down the street...

I just think it's a bit of a joke Jenny 
Most people I know hold no religious beliefs so I believe it's not up to governments to hold them on on their behalves ( not sure if that's a word lol)

Easter has enormous significance! It has nothing to do with noisy people on your street. Perhaps you have never read the Bible. It is the most widely read and sold book in the history of humans. The first 4 books in the New Testament of the Bible explain the meaning of Easter. It is more important than Christmas. It is the time to pay respects to the act of Jesus sacrificing himself to save humans from hell, and instead offer everlasting life. It shows the biggest act of forgiveness ever made, (symbolically), and we can follow that example with our own lives, giving of ourselves to others who need us.... If you have faith, you can accept his sacrifice. If you read the Bible you will understand. And go to a Church, they will tell you. You will feel it.

Thanks for your response Rejuvenation but I did say to 'most people'I fail to see how drunken idiots roaming up and down suburban streets has anything to do with a religious event which is the point of my thread.

You're right. It doesn't. It's a day off. Even if the Body is discovered, workers still need holidays.I fail to see how drunken idiots roaming up and down suburban streets has anything to do with a religious event which is the point of my thread.

Actually don't bother replying to this, I'd already picked you as a feral Westie 
You don't have the ability to contribute to intelligent conversation so you resort to gutter language.
Do me a favour and go back to your self-admiration thread byee

On the contrary Jesus died for our sins. The leeway of easter was and remains the license to be free, one can't underestimate the philosphical importance of god ascending to the heavens and leaving his followers to be governed by the holy spirit. Atheists, liberals and scientists in the west stem from this freedom in religion, as unfrotunately so does the squalor.I fail to see how drunken idiots roaming up and down suburban streets has anything to do with a religious event which is the point of my thread.

I respectfully disagree. I hate holidays because being retired, there are more crazy drivers constantly on the roads and in my lane instead of only driving during rush hours for working people to get to wherever they have to be to earn money to support themselves.------ This thread is Archived ------

HISTORY OF EASTER: IS IT A PAGAN HOLIDAY?
------ This thread is Archived ------
Holidays don't have to have the same significance to people regardless of what they are suppose to represent...people can celebrate them any way they choose....

It certainly is the most forgiving and flexible story in Christianity. Easter symbolises the end of gods active and direct influence on the earth, you’re on your own now. Better you all stick together through the Holy Spirit.
America’s capitalist religion(CINO - Christian In Name Only)is part of this leeway. You’re on your own now so every man for himself. I contend that Easter allows CINO to happen for better or worse.
