Happy pagan fertility festival
Apr 20th, 2019 at 12:50pm
 
On Easter Sunday, a bunny will deliver chocolate eggs to many households across Australia.

Have you ever wondered how this seemingly bizarre tradition came to be?

Well, it turns out Easter actually began as a pagan festival celebrating spring in the Northern Hemisphere, long before the advent of Christianity.

n 325AD the first major church council, the Council of Nicaea, determined that Easter should fall on the Sunday following the first full moon after the spring equinox.

Many of the pagan customs associated with the celebration of spring eventually became absorbed within Christianity as symbols of the resurrection of Jesus.

The custom of decorating hard-boiled eggs or blown eggs is still a very popular folk custom."

Rabbits and hares are also associated with fertility and were symbols linked to the goddess Eostre.

Zarathustrianism was the first to use the latest invention of Writing (innovated by the Priests of Ur who worshipped the Moon known as 'Sin' for inspiration... hence 'Sin-ur') to push its narrative.
Zarathustrianism borrowed nearly all of its work from local Pagan myths and legends.
...from Zarathustrianism sprang its 3 sons: Judaism, Christianity and Mohommedism - all three based upon 'Paganism'.

Jason....your diagrams are incorrect.

Jesus Christ did not start an Orthodox or Catholic Church. The first Christian church had nothing to do with these 2 religious institutions which are man made AND definitely based on paganism.

They are 'all' DESCENDED like DNA bloodlines - from PAGANISM Lisa.

Trying to make oneself 'holier than thou' with 'technicalities' in little paragraphs, sentences and anything else pedantic enough to fall short of the big picture - never works.

Pagan stories around the world and middle-east.
Then writing in created by the Pagan priests of Ur who worshipped 'Sin' the moon and used for 'logistical' reasons.
Zarathustrianism is born upon the collection of and reworking of, local Pagan stories, legends, myths collected over time and correlated into the first 'religion'.
Judaism is born from Zarathustrianism.
Christianity is born from Judaism.
Mohommedism is born from Christianity.

Religion is descended from Paganisms
like Humans are from monkeys.

No. There are too many mistakes in your post.

In the beginning we had Theism. Paganism came later.

Judaism did not evolve into Christianity.

That's why these 2 remain distinctive to this day.

Re Christianity I most certainly do NOT mean Orthodoxy or Catholicism...I mean Christian
as per the first Christian church which Jesus Christ himself initiated.

Orthodoxy and its 1st cousin Catholicism ARE pagan based. They have an appearance of Christianity but are very anti Scriptural religions. The Protestant reformation was an opportunity to get back to the true and initial Christian church (the one which Jesus Christ himself initiated).

Bottom line? Religion is like politics ie there are splinter groups left right and centre and these are set up to control people and .... their money.

Jesus Christ and Christianity has nothing in common with such hypocritical institutions.

Islam has nothing in common with Christianity. Nothing at all. Islam is a separate religious institution started by a guy who experienced some hallucination after which he felt compelled to normalise and reward child sex abuse and domestic violence as well as polygamy and the murder of one's enemies. Islam does not use the Holy Bible. It can't. Why? Its teachings based on Mohammed contradict what the Holy Bible teaches. Instead they use the Koran which essentially lists the teachings of Mohammed their leader.

In a similar way...a guy by the name of Joseph Smith had some weird hallucination/experience. After that experience he started the Mormon movement which has since experienced heaps of issues and has split many times. He too was into child sex abuse and polygamy etc. The Holy Bible is not used by Mormons either. Why? It can't because their teachings contradict what is written in the Holy Bible. They use a separate holy book based on the visions of their founder's hallucinations.

Christianity alone is based on Jesus Christ and it was Jesus Christ who started the 1st Christian church. In Jerusalem. After He rose from the dead.

• Look I get that you're not a Christian and that's fine. I'm married to a guy who's not a Christian (that's hard for me as I want to see him in Heaven with me one day. Our spiritual journeys are very unique. And different. I wish for this : that we could all see things regarding God through the eyes of his Son Jesus Christ and that we could all get to Heaven. That's not going to happen. Why? We are all different and we have the free will to exercise our freedom and difference of opinion. Many people on OzPol simply don't believe God exists. I'm not here to convince them that God does exist. That's not my job. IF they wish to believe that's a matter for them to sort out. Ok?i

I'm sorry Lisa. I feel like I just broke your hymen of innocence.
We live on a very small and 'limited' world of outcomes.
Where everything does come to an 'equality' in the end and the world you see around you now is a failure to reach that equality.
Where external stimulation is limited in experience like a unreachable world 500,000 light years away... in the past.

Sadly your 'Religions' are but echoes of a past that was Paganistic right around the world and right up to the 'Sinners' creating 'Writing' upon the Temple of Ur under the gaze of Sin in all her tidal movements of beauty in which they worshipped for inspiration and they were answered.

Writing was used for the logistical requirements of harvests, weather, the Moon herself, tides, storage of grains and more.
The fact that you could say that Zarathustra used writing to exploit the Paganisms of old into something newer gave birth to 'yours' and other Religions of 'bloodlines' and the immortality that writing had now given them.

God is nothing more than a manifestation of what we perceive as humans via all that we experience in this very small and as you now see, 'limited' world. Even Science can't break that rule beyond just lying without limitation - but that's Satan at work, isn't it? Wink

God is nothing more than a book on a shelf in a Library.
Sorry.

Here, maybe this nice 'Greek' adaption by Dead Can Dance will help.

What Germany did to the Jews, the Moslems will do to the French... as we see the European nations 'forfeit' their Christian pasts regardless of 'styles' (Catholic, Orthodox, Protestantism).
For as Hitler got revenge for Jesus against the Jews.
France will burn and produce a Messiah for the Moslems, so that they may forgive and put down their weapon of 'Empire' that their prophet gave rise to.

And as the Moslems wander like the Jews of old
And the Jews make an Empire like the Moslems of old.

Italy will genocide the unarmed Moslems and the Moslems will cry to Allah to save them, but their cries fall upon deaf ears around the world... except one peoples - the Israelis.
Suddenly the Mafia-Vatican alliance is attacked by the world's most lethal new 'Empire' and 'destroyed'. Another 'Christian' nation gone.
Only Britain remains. Germany, France and Italy - gone as a Religious nation.
Of course, poor Britain has to face up to a now 'unified' Islam/Israel known as 'Istari' (the Star between the two pillars of heaven: I-star-I) and come before them both.
But Britain is different, it's colonies 'replaced' it and thus Britain dies upon its own cross. Wink
...like an old story of the past. Wink

It's a small world Lisa and Religion (God) is like just one region out of many here.
