So if you believe that Jesus died and rose again, what’s the point of your thread? After all, no one believes that the general resurrection has taken place yet.

You have created a fire amongst our zeal to claim that Easter is evil. It is not. You have disrespect our belief. There are time I am able to tolerate Ant-Catholic views but your original message is indeed offensive.**Ya’ll will have to excuse me for not reading the vitriol directed towards me with respects to my original post. I knew I was tying myself to the stake and lighting the match when I posted it.
I get that Jesus died and was Resurrected. I learned it at Sunday catechism when I was 8. It was around that time I learned to ride a bicycle without the training wheels.
I’m grateful for those training wheels, but I don’t need to re-attach them to my bike every spring in remembrance when I was a little boy. I drive a car now.**
Commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus is part of the Christian tradition. Easter is a rebirth, a new beginning for us all Christians.

Why do people validate topics such as these by responding to them?

So, what you are saying that you have the right to say anything you want, but we are not allowed to refute you? Looks like what you want is a one way conversation. This is proselytizing and is forbidden here.Ya’ll will have to excuse me for not reading the vitriol directed towards me with respects to my original post. I knew I was tying myself to the stake and lighting the match when I posted it.

BTW: Your profile had no information on which denomination you are? I have a suspicion on which denomination, but I will let you provide this information. Withholding this will further the suspicion since the denomination I am thinking of does not reveal this willingly.

So what have you against commemorating the Resurrection ?
It’s not just any old event - it is one of the most important, perhaps the most important of all, in the whole history of the universe. So we commemorate it.Feast-days are necessary - including Easter - to remind us of them. Who keeps Waterloo Day now ? Yet that that was very important, after June 18 1815; people were still dating their letters by it 70 years later. But now ? Probably they do not. And that was a mere 190 years ago. The Resurrection is far more important than that, & just as liable to be forgotten, humanly speaking; so the Church commemorates it, as she does other feasts.
If we mark events in our own lives year by year, or commemorate events in the history of mere nations like the USA, which was nothing in 1500, & may be wholly forgotten by 2500, why should we not commemorate the most important events in the life of the Church, which is ten thousand times more important than any state ? There will always be a Church - but all mere states will sooner or later perish ##
