Meliorism - The rise of neo-atheism and the fall of reason
#10
RE: Meliorism - The rise of neo-atheism and the fall of reason
Mm, no, actually, I've not said anything ironic yet. Big Grin See, I've yet to make any claims to victory in debates, given that I don't really partake in them. I prefer to study them and read them and learn from them, because, get this, I actually don't like talking about things I am poorly-informed on.

Easter IS based in a pagan tradition, by the way. Read up on Astarte, also known as Ishtar, and the celebration and the rites of the celebration...like the painted eggs, the spring bunny rabbit, the basket, the hiding of said eggs and children seeking them. I read the thread. You didn't make him backtrack, he merely replied with "I speak one of them" in regards to the two languages that know of it as Easter. Is THAT the backtrack you're speaking of? Cuz I don't see any backtracking of any kind anywhere in that thread, I just read your post asserting it was a Jewish holiday, even though the ancient Babylonian celebration, where the Jews got it from to begin with, came first overall.

Learn history, ok? And English. You just made two failings in one post; asserting victory where there was none, and claiming irony where there wasn't any. That's not good, man.
