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.HighRoller74;1718077 wrote:Serious question.
Why do you folks celebrate his "death" and "rising" on different days each year?
Yet you celebrate his "Birthday" on the same day?

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.thavoice;1718225 wrote:The date for the celebration of Easter as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. For this reason, the date will change each year and can fall anywhere from March 22 to April 25.
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.

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.sleeper;1718233 wrote: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.

Yeah because atheists go around telling everyone they are an atheist. Nice try.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1718257 wrote:A vegan, crossfitter and an atheist walk into a bar. I only know because they told everyone within two minutes.
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.

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.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1718257 wrote:A vegan, crossfitter and an atheist walk into a bar.

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.Heretic;1718268 wrote: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.

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..

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?Al Bundy;1718230 wrote:It's based upon the Jewish feast of Passover on the old calendar system.
