You admit it's a pagan holiday, yet accuse Protestants of continuing Catholic traditions... What?

Because we all know that if you reject some parts of a complex ideology, you must necessarily reject it all.

I celebrate Easter, without zombie Jesus, but we do the egg thing, the Bunny man comes and the kids get too much candy, we had a "traditional" Easter dinner... People have been celebrating Spring since the dawn of time. I just don't see how that's Catholic.

Should you really be mocking others' beliefs when you believe a god came down in human form, walked on water, and rose from the dead?
I love how this was posted on "Atheist Forums." Didn't have the balls to post this on a Christian one?

I think he's not Catholic. He probably is against protestants keeping up "pagan" holidays and follows a sect that is against all that.

You know, the sad thing is that there seem to be some people who believe just that. That's what fundamentalism is.
I've heard things like "if any of it is true, then all of it is true" used to describe their house-of-cards belief.
