It was prophesied that Jesus would be entombed for 3 days and 3 nights.
Friday afternoon until Sunday morning is NOT 3 days or 3 nights whichever way you look at it!

Easter / Eostre means new beginnings whatever your faith
so therefor happy easter as per OP!

Anneasquith, //Nailit, I think you would get a better audience in religion topic. This thread is just a simple ‘ happy Easter’ to other abers .//

This is the religion topic - and the OP is rather more than just a simple Happy Easter.

//Alleuia. God 1 Satan 0//

Does no one find it odd that God is in competition with Satan, who we’re told rules the earth? I mean, how does Satan rule the earth with God being almighty and all that? Wouldn’t you think a sensible and all powerful God would just zap the troublemaker out of existence and be done with it? It was a bit of a palaver anyway having himself born on earth and then having himself killed in order to save us from his own wrath when he could easily have sorted it in a much more pleasant manner. A gruesome plan that didn’t work anyway. The majority of human beings don’t believe a word of it.

Christian festivals were aligned to Pagan festivals in order to tempt new recruits to the new religion without completely abandoning the old ways - and what an offer! The add bonus of cheating death! What’s not to like?

Happy Easter.

My phone has bust and now the TV has as well. And it's snowing on and off. But Happy Easter everbody.

[Apc2604]

Nice thought though five leaves. Thank you. I arose this morning and now think I may have been better staying under the duvet. ;o)

Naomi - Religion has a lot of parallels with soap operas - they are fine if you simply let them wash over you, but if you start analysing or questioning in the slightest, they crumble before your eyes.

[Apc2604]

Our oldest and dearest friends are deeply religious and regular churchgoers. We are far from it. In our 50 year friendship we have never discussed religion. We accept our differences.

The 3 days and 3 nights thing deserves a thread of its own.
I have my own thoughts about it, but cant be bothered at the moment
