Why do you folks celebrate his "death" and "rising" on different days each year?

Yet you celebrate his "Birthday" on the same day?
It's based upon the Jewish feast of Passover on the old calendar system. That is connected to lunar cycle, so there is about a 4 week window in which it can move around.

That is the most basic and easy answer.

As for Christmas.......Jesus wasnt believed to be actually born on that date. Some research believe it was more of a spring birth, but throughout time they settled on a singular date to celebrate his birth.
Actually December 25 is the date where most god-like beings were born on so when Christanity was made up it wanted to keep the alleged date for credibility reasons.

Pretty much. That day was a sacred "pagan" holiday, so when the powers that be decided to "legitimize" their god, they just kept the same date, but appropriated it for their purposes.

Yeah because atheists go around telling everyone they are an atheist. Nice try.

The reality is your religion is entirely made up. Enjoy!

This is a lot of what's wrong with the world. If you don't have anything nice to say, then just keep your fucking mouth shut.

Sorry for cussing on a "he has risen" thread.

Getting all butt-hurt over some spiritual man named Jesus.

So said on a religion-themed thread started by a religious person which includes, so far, one "I'll pray for you nonbelievers" post and one "If you're not one of us, don't post here!" post.

LOL. Seems like people only want their "religious freedom" acts when it supports them!

That was me and I wasn't being serious being that I'm agnostic. But seriously, I don't see any believers on this thread attacking you or anyone else for not believing. I don't get the obsession for attacking someone who chooses to believe. Who gives a fuck.

The religion of peace strikes again:

[h=1]‘If you were Christian, you were shot’: Death toll climbs to 70 in Kenya attack[/h]MORE THAN 70 PEOPLE are dead and dozens are injured after Al Qaeda-linked terror group Al-Shabaab attacked a Kenyan college, holding hostages and reportedly shooting Christians 'on the spot.'


While the persecution continues, may the peace of the risen Lord be with you..

I do that all year round. Potentially you can always do your research and stop buying into a bunch of nonsense.

Which doesn't make sense. Its treated as the celebration of when "Jesus died", and when "rose", so why not just pick a 3 day window and stick with it, much like was done with Christmas?
