And Easter is from Ishtar, and Holloween is Samhain, and Labor Day was a commie invention to go have a picnic.

Listen, SURE it is overly commercial, but it is one day when kind words and Christian actions may demonstrate to others that when they want to be, His followers are different from the rest of the cruel beggers on this rock.

Cheer up and if YOU want to, go stand on a soapbox in the park and preach the Good News and get some real work done. Twenty minutes of saying "Jesus knows you personally and would love to help you get your life together through His free gift of Salvation" would be inifinetly more to the Glory of God than walking into the living room like you have and throwing down a dead carp just to see who will notice.

And Easter is from Ishtar

That's where the name comes from, which is why I actually used the phrase 'Resurrection Sunday' in my original post. The celebration does not. Contrary to atheistic claims, Jesus' resurrection is not borrowed from pagan religions. It is very different from any of the ancient Mystery religions.
