Hey everyone got two but I only got one!

Happy easter and this is the day Jesus Christ rose from the dead after
dying for our sins.

[View Quote] No, it's when the Easter bunny hides eggs for little kids to find.

It's actually not the day he was resurrected. Get it right. But it is
the day in which a feast is held to commemorate it. Notice how Easter
sunday is not static Carl. Get over your Christian self.

Starfleet, that remark was uncalled for. Whether or not you are a
religious person or believe in a higher power, it makes no difference.
If Carl was talking about another holy figure would you make the same
comments?

[View Quote] If it were a fixed date Carl could've been right, but it's not -- so
he's wrong.

It was put on this day to overwrite a Pagan festival, just like Christmas.

I wasn't talking about the date, I was talking about the "die" comment.
You might have missed my point...

Ok, you can be all accurate. I know it's not the day when he rose but
it's the day we celebrate it.

Don't say it's the day he was resurected then. Don't even bring your
religion into it at all. Easter was celebrated long before Christians
celebrated it. From what I remember in history class, it was adapted
into Christianity to make the conversion of the pagans easier, trying to
bring their celebrations and such into the mix. Just wish Happy Easter
and be done with it, try not to say "Yes, happy easter and drink
christ's blood!". It really just isn't needed anymore, we know you're
Christian -- and we know you're Zealous about it.

They would stop to b... if you stop to whine :)
I never know such a person who knows nothing else but whining and whining . (Maybe I'm wrong - Eep comes to my mind :)
Did you ever consider to post something positive??? <I doubt>
I'm considered a low tempered man but I reached the level I couldn't take your "demands" any longer:(

Well, Andras and the others in this thread,

my personal opinion is that religious and political discussions do NOT
belong here or in any AW newsgroup.

A greeting for Pesach or Easter or Vernal Equinox is fine with me and
welcome, because it is a greeting to people that have a particular
belief or tradition and shows respect. Respect has to be the basis of
our society.

Religious statements as "Happy easter and this is the day Jesus Christ
rose from the dead after dying for our sins." are not, because they
are assertions that imply and take for granted that we all believe in
this and impose a religious belief on others. I find it offensive to
do so, whatever the intention behind it. This is not the place to
proselitise your own religious or political beliefs.

Some people, like carlbanks, keep on doing this, like his whole thread
on the film "the passion of christ". With all due respect to their
beliefs, I would rather they learn to respect other peoples'.

So, whenever I mention something that could be improved in AW, it's called
whining? Let's all just say nothing then, and if anything bad happens,
let's not mention it, because someone might consider it whining! Unlike
from what I've heard about Eep, I don't senselessly flame people. I make
suggestions of how things could be improved.
If you consider that whining, then I can consider your post talking about my
"whining" whining as well, so, stop yer whining! :P
