Is Easter based on a pagan tradition?

I have four historical accounts and scores of 1st-2nd century references. That's more than 99.9% of historical figures. You need to show why we should not trust these accounts. Provide a contemporary scenario in which entire events were fabricated and traditions resulted from them. A scenario that you can prove.

I shan't go into an argument that you've surely already had ad nauseam with other forum members here. You have the Bible and and handful of references, none of which date to when your supposed messiah - not even the messiah my people spoke of, but a hastily patched up one to fit your own sniveling needs - was supposed to be around, leading to more hearsay.

My my. Picking on me saying that the exodus didn't happen because people don't just start doing things over nothing.

Mormonism started over Joseph Smith's hearsay.

The anti-vax movement started over Andrew Wakefield's hearsay.

Countless Indian gurus gain followers over their hearsay.

Fox News viewers believe whatever bullshit comes out of Bill O'Reilly's mouth without so much as a fact check.

People on Facebook spread links with warnings of supposed dangers without checking the factual basis behind them.

There are people will follow and do anything according to the utterances of someone who sounds like they know what they're talking about, because many people find it easier to follow than they do to lead, and because no one likes to admit that they don't know know what the fuck is going on and thus cling to the one person who seems to.
