War on Easter, part II

Of course it there actually were a war on Christmas instead of a few store owners reluctant to offend people who aren't actually offended, there would be a war on Easter too. Certainly nobody is insisting that you mention Pesach also - or instead. These are holidays far more closely related however, than is Hannukah to Christmas and far more essential to Christianity which depends on a resurrection story. Nobody seems to be making a fuss out of calling Easter a Holiday either. They either celebrate it or ignore it.

But of course those with their agenda haven't given it up and we will, in nine months time be hearing the same lies, distortions, inventions and other hysterical denunciations of all who do not celebrate Christmas the way certain people insist they do. I'm no kind of a believer. I don't believe in Fertility rabbits or the eggs bizarrely associated with an ancient variation of Ishtar. I don't believe in belief as a road to knowledge or to anything else actually, but I'm the last one to make war on a pagan tradition providing me with discounted chocolate rabbits come Monday and just to prove it, I'll take the opportunity to say to the few who read this:
HAPPY EASTER

I think the world would be a lot better place if religion didn't exist.

That said, Happy Easter to the believers.
