So your saying what I posted in this thread isn't true? Or, you are saying that ignorance is bliss and you don't like being reminded about the origions of the holiday because it spoils the fun?
As long as the holiday is being practiced without the general public having any knowledge of it's origions, then I will be here to remind people.

Hey I recently discovered Islam Infinite. I saw some teens at the mall looking into eachother's eyes with lust and some about to have sex. I was thinking about gathering together a group of fellow believers and give those kids a public 100 stripes flogging in the name of Allah. You want in? I need as many believers as I can get. Most of the apostates I've come across don't have the balls or the faith to submit to the will of the creator.

Me too. I am also going to hang white people to further illustrate my submission to the will of the creator. Wanna help a fellow militant muslim out, Infinite? Bring the rope with you. You can also tie it around your neck, if you like, that way I waste less time and can move on to kill gay people and others who don't obey to the will of the creator.

--- Quote ---Mohammed introduced many pagan rituals and activities into his new religion, the large share of these finding root in the pagan pre-Islamic days of Arabia. The Sabeans, an Arabian group whose religion was centred about the worship of astral bodies, saw much of their worship style mimicked by Islam.
"Muhammad incorporated parts of the religion of the Sabeans into Islam." 17
This included such well-known Muslim worship activities as worshipping at sacred stones (the Kaabah, for Islam), praying five times a day towards a sacred geographical location (Mecca, for Islam), and fasting for part of a day for an entire month (Ramadan, for Islam).
Less certain, but also suspected, is that the Muslim activity of throwing stones at Satan finds its origins in a pre-Islamic pagan ritual in which stones were thrown to symbolically drive away jinn and other evil spirits. Muslim tradition itself indicates to us that Mohammed had much to do with the jinn, as he was a shaman who could control the spirits which resided in rocks, trees, and bodies of water. 18 Mohammed himself was even said to have been at various times bewitched and under satanic inspiration 19. These evidences provide additional support to the contention that much of Islam is repackaged pre-Islamic Arabian paganism.

Since nobody wanted to discuss the origional topic, I'm going to assume that you all agree that the information presented is true; and that your only complaint is that you don't think it is important enough to expose the truth about Easter, because you feel I have been offensive to Christianity.
When, in actuality it is offensive to Christianity that this pagan holiday is still being celebrated in the name of Christ; just ask Jahovah Witnesses or 7th Day Adventists what they themselves, and the Bible have to say about these holidays.

Kids have fun looking for eggs and getting stuff. Families have a reason to unite. People get a day off or two. I see no problem in that. Who cares about whether this holiday has pagan origins or not, if it brings people together, makes people happy, hurts nobody and spreads warmth I am absolutely for it.

Okay. But what is wrong with me posting an article about the origions of the holiday? Your saying the origions don't matter and aren't important?
