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.

Well I guess that not "yet" (you've repeatedly done so it makes no difference) is so longer true after your latest post....actually the first section alone.
But, as a Christian, I have to thank you. We desperately need people like you because bigoted Christian Fundamentalists have done great harm to our image. It's people like you who give Christians hope for a revival of Christianity among American youth.
Maybe you should post a website that does not come from the American South.
I'm sorry, but if I was looking for a retarded explanation of shit, I'd talk to a drunk. Or you could you know follow your advise and only respond to issues you actually know about. It doesn't really matter at this point.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
