Eostre was an ancient fertility goddess. Eggs and bunnies are also symbols of fertility. Spring is the season of fertility. Not much to do with Jesus. That being said, thanks for all the Easter baskets, mom!

  1. "Not only does this trend threaten free speech, freedom of association and a free press, it even undermines free exercise of religion. Challenging the beliefs of other faiths can be part of that exercise. Countries such as Saudi Arabia don't prosecute blasphemers to protect the exercise of all religions but to protect one religion."

    "Religious orthodoxy has always lived in tension with free speech. Yet Western ideals are based on the premise that free speech contains its own protection: Good speech ultimately prevails over bad. There's no blasphemy among free nations, only orthodoxy and those who seek to challenge it."

  2. Vza, there is no effective "free speech," without an equal platform. Without an equal platform "good speech" does not and cannot prevail. I like how all of these so-called "historians" miss this simple point when they unfold "history." Without equal platform you have no sounding board which the people can access, you have propaganda of the few - and it is NOT good speech.
