2. There about 246 million Christians in the US (and growing due to immigration of Latin Americans).

It’s actually closer to 210,000,000 and by percentage the numbers are declining.
2. Coloring Easter eggs, bunnies, chocolate Easter eggs etc... are closely associated with Easter but that's not what Easter is about.
The tradition of the Easter Bunny as a symbol of fertility and new life goes back hundreds of years.

3. Preventing Christians from celebrating Easter with the religious symbols of their own holiday on those eggs or at the Whitehouse is offensive. We are not celebrating secular bunny day or colored egg day. We are celebrating that Christ is risen from his death on the cross. No one is preventing you from doing anything. Decorate your eggs however you see fit. Frankly I doubt that if I walked in your house right now I would find a single decorated egg. And. Certainly none with a religious theme.


4. It doesn't matter who made the rules. Either way It was obviously just another left wing Christian hating group or organization.



5. No one compelled Biden to pick this particular Easter day to go out of his way to celebrate a transgender awareness day. It could have been done before or after this one. The same goes for all the other left wing politicians that went out of their way to do the same way or make tasteless jokes about Easter.

Someone that was sensitive to both the religion of 246 million people but also concerned about the rights of a minority group like transgenders would have found a way to celebrate both the RIGHT way.

But we know why that didn't happen.

The left hates Christians because of their beliefs on abortion, sexuality, marriage, birth control, the promotion of transgenderism to children in schools, having out of wedlock children etc... In fact, the left has essentially come to stand for the opposite of all those Christian beliefs by not just protecting people's rights from Christians trying to impose their will on everyone else, but by actively promoting all sorts of ideas and behaviors that run counter to the teachings of Christianity no matter how much damage they do to society. That's the reality.

If you are not a religious person so be it. You have a right to be an atheist or disagree with Christians on any number of issues.

However, if you happen to be a religious Christian, you'd have to have brain damage to vote for someone that hates you for your beliefs. The evidence of that hate is everywhere, not just in this Easter controversy.

4. Right, the American Egg Board is obviously a Christian hating left week organization, being that it is made up of farmers who are known for their liberal views. Do you even realize how stupid you sound?



5. What part of Transgender Visibility Day is always March 31 do you not understand? What part of Biden makes this proclamation every year do you not understand?

You have the arrogance that your views on the subjects above are the views of all Christian’s. Believe me, they are not.

Abortion: Most Christians are pro choice, not pro abortion. We are opposed to abortion in principle, but are also strongly supportive of a woman’s right to control her body.

Sexuality: We believe it comes in many forms and variations and all should be respected.

Marriage: Should be between a man and a woman. Or a Man and a man. Or a woman and a woman. Or any combination of adults.

Birth Control: prevents abortion. Isn’t that what you are after?

Promotion of transgenderism: We don’t promote transgenderism, we accept it when it’s there. No kid ever has gone to bed in the evening male or female and woken up in the morning saying, I think I will be transgender.

Out of wedlock children: You don’t want women to have children out of wedlock? OK. We can abort them. Don’t want that? Well, we can shame the mothers,ostracize the children or, we can be actual Christian’s.

Not the phony hypocrites you are.

What good is a religion after you've neutered it beyond recognition in order to conform to worldly, societal pressure?

No point in having that religion any longer, right?

It looks this morning like ol' Joe denies responsibility for the tweet or the proclamation... so this flap will move from yet another attack on Christianity to yet another example of who's actually in charge.

1. Christmas is a very important holiday and bigger commercially, but Easter is the most important holiday religiously because the very reason Christ was born was to forgive our sins. He died on the cross and was risen in fulfillment of that role.

2. There are Christians that believe all sorts of things on all sorts of subjects as individuals. That is their right. But the core teachings of the Church run counter to leftist values on a lot of them. That's why the left resents Catholics and the religious right and attacks and tries to discredit both and create more secular values. They are actively calling the most religious among us terrorists and trying to infiltrate churches with FBI.

3.
Quote:
The United States has the largest number of Christians worldwide by a significant margin. As of 2010, there were about 246,78 million Christians in the U.S. Christianity has been a pillar of the United States since it was established in the early colonial period, when settlers from Europe brought Christianity along with them.
4. The total number of Christians in the US is GROWING. The vast majority of the millions of illegals entering the country from Latin America are Christians (many Catholics). The media and people that count these things just haven't figured that out yet.

5. I understand transgender visibility day is always 3/31. I have no issue with that. However, it has not been celebrated or officially proclaimed a day by any president that I am aware of until now. Biden (and other leftist politicians) chose to do this when Easter also fell on 3/31 while at the same time trying to turn Easter into a secular holiday about bunnies and eggs without religious symbolism allowed. In some cases they made jokes about it. That screams where their priorities and values are. Someone balanced would make a point of doing both and talking about the religious aspects of Easter because that's what it is. It's 100% a religious holiday and the most important one of the year.

For the lurking reader, it should be noted that this is probably fiction, a creation story made up by some cult in the early times to enslave dumb followers and it is equally if not more likely that Joseph was a cuck and Mary was a whore.

You are entitled to believe that.

My point is that a subset of the left/democrat party clearly hates the values promoted by religious Christians because they conflict with their own values and desires.

So if you happen to be a believer, you'd have to be an idiot to vote for people that more or less hate you.

The difference between the left and Trump is that Trump has apparently done plenty of un-Christian things in his life (as have I and most other people), but he's not out there actively attacking and trying to discredit Christian values, sending FBI spies into churches, promoting values and behaviors that have demonstrably poor results for society, making fun of people that are believers, taking political contributions from some of the worst Christian hating pedos in Hollywood and so on.

What is strange is they will come to the defense of Muslims, I always find that baffling. As with anything else they cannot form a logical explanation for their actions that just seem like a bunch of double standards and hypocrisy.
