Should Easter be canceled as Valentines Day got canceled for being a lie and becoming an orgy of consumerism?
Easter seems to have sow dog gone many problems, contentions, schisms, that it would be better if it got canceled.
Example of Easter problems:
- it's changeable; but God never changes, an unjust judge does
- it's pro sacrifice; but God & Son will have mercy, and not sacrifice
- it's confusing; and God is not [the author] of confusion, but of peace
- two Easters (eastern and western) still make for division, not peace
- it begins with deceptive season of Lent produces evil concupiscence
- only thing divisional xians agree on is let's kill heir to get inheritance
- two Sabbaths in one passion week is one too many Sabbaths
- two calendars make for two preparation days and two passovers
- contradictions are many (more than a few) concerning events
- two Gods: "My God, my God" seems to result in "forsaken" Jesus
- xians no more agree than did Sadducees vs Pharisees: both "vipers"
- It is finished? Matthew 24:23,26 says "believe [it] not" x2
- will of God got first "finished" in John 17, not in John 19
- only the first finished the g-race is winner take all
- giving place to 2nd finished gives place to the devil(law)
- entrance to Jerusalem: on @ss or colt of an @ss?
- resurrection appearances can be deceiving, so
- judge not after the appearance, but judge righteous judgment
- false Christs rise and arise to deceive
- last supper before passover and after passover?
- many say risen on Sunday, but body gone before Sunday light
- a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump
- there's more than a little leaven in Easter
- rabbits don't lay eggs
- humpty dumpty was an egg

I see what you're saying in a way because the world celebrates Easter entirely different than the church does, that is if churches celebrate it correctly. Rabbits don't lay eggs, and I feel that this type of worship of rabbits and them laying eggs was created in order to divert the attention away from Christ's resurrection! Easter is supposed to be symbolic to the new life in Christ once one receives Him. This is how we celebrate it. We have sunrise service and communion to symbolize how Christ rose from the dead and how He's coming back soon. I hope I haven't offended anyone but this is how I believe according to the Holy scriptures. I think it's a very important practice for believers. If churches want to allow children to hunt eggs they should do so in a manner in which bunnies are left out of it and the focus is still on Christ by letting the found eggs be for fun and possibly allowing the search represent how Christ is searching for lost souls. This is just my opinion and I hope it helps. We don't want to throw the baby out with the water as some people say.

Oscar Wilde: resurrected April 15th
It's just a effing holiday, who cares?
Jack Hammer April 15th
Is any holiday in the 21st century not an orgy of consumerism?
theone78 April 15th
Absolutely — it should be celebrated for what it really is which is the resurrection of Our Lord and Savior — Jesus Christ !
Not all the confusion that consumerism turned it into –

Don't bogart that man, must be good stuff.

When did they cancel Valentine's Day? I must have missed that one.
Easter's got the same "problem," from a religious point of view, as Christmas does. The more secular aspects are remnants of ancient celebrations–Easter falls around the first day of spring, so the egg stuff relates to fertility, and Christmas is tied into winter solstice rituals.

Who canceled Valentine's Day? I saw no notice of it. In fact, all the stores were FULL of Valentine's day stuff, so I'm sure they didn't get notice of it either.
And all the rest of that stuff you included – what in the world are you talking about? Easter celebrates the resurrection of Christ, end of discussion. I have no idea where donkeys fit into it, or leavening (if you even know what leaven is, which I doubt at this point), or finishing anything.
Wow, you have very much overthought the entire thing. If you don't want to celebrate Easter commercially, then don't. But the rest of that garbage you put up there has nothing to do with it.

its a religous holiday that has been going for ages!!!!

Colette Pioline ART April 15th

Valentine's Day is even celebrated in Saudi Arabia…so what makes you think it was canceled?
You seem well worried by the fleas while you are being eaten by the camels.
This problem is easily resolved by opening your front door, stepping outside and realizing there is a life out there and it may be your own!

Easter is a religious holiday?!?! It's celebrating a "Dawn of the Dead" kind of thing? That's creepy. I'll stick with my chocolate egg laying bunnies.
Matty April 15th
i could give you a 100 page essay on why what you just said is wrong but i dont have the time now.
Alucard April 15th
Um…you do know easter was based on a pagan Traditions
Nick April 15th
Its true that easter has become watered down since its oringinal time. However easters oringal message is to celebrate Christ and this is why we should always celebrate it. From my knowledge valentines has nothing to do with Christ so i don't mind if it gets cancelled.
Daver April 15th
It's not Easter that is confused. It's you. If only you better understood Easter, and Christianity in general, you would see the justice of it.
