“Do everything for the Glory of God.”

How is naming the day to celebrate Jesus’ resurrection after an abomination for the glory of God?

What you say is contradictory. You say “call it whatever you want”, but you say I can’t tell you what I call it? How is that for the glory of God?

People have been uneducated for 100s of years, and accepted this nonsense blindly. Now we have some education and educated people are saying that we don’t want to call this holiday “Ish Tar”. We’re saying we’ve read the Bible and we know how God feels about these abominations; these fake “gods”; to venerate one in this way is the height of hate towards God.

Yeah. You are so much smarter than the millions of Christians (who by the way can read the Bible as well, and probably better than your narrow-blinkered interpretation) who have had no problem with "Easter" for hundreds of years.

Look, I really don't have a dog in this hunt; my Church does not call the day "Easter." It's Pascha. And we don't even celebrate it this Sunday.

But you are just acting like a gloomy know-it-all. Give it up. Have some mercy and love. Jesus rose for everyone, not just those who are as smart as you. Let them have their festival.

1 Corinthians 10:31.
