Like I said, they are pagan in origin, and no one knows the true dates. And most Christians can't decipher the difference between paganism and Christianity. They slap a christian title on it and call it Christian.

Plus if you call yourself a Christian, it should be something you think about and celebrate all the time.

I'm not sure what point you're trying to make here. Yeah, they don't know the exact date (and first Sunday of April isn't a constant date anyway), but as Idle said, it's more about the spirit of the thing. Their religious text says Jesus died, and came back to life three days later. It's an important part of their scripture. So they set a regular time of year to celebrate it. Same thing with Christmas.

As for thinking about it and celebrating it all the time, what does that even mean? Make every day a religious holiday for them?

Where in the fuck did Charles Manson come from?

The Catholic church is a lot older than another Christian sects and they incorporated a lot of pagan ritual, gods and goddess replaced with saints and holidays given Christian overtones. All in an effort to convert and be accepted by non Christian folk. Destroying idols and burning holy writing is one thing but you can't take beloved holidays from people, that's just crossing the line.

For the record, I was raised Catholic, am now agnostic.

The Catholic Church being old as the Dinosaurs, even older than any other Christian sect doesn't amount to a hill of beans.

@idlehands
So Charles Manson is wiser than us because he's old.
