John 3:16

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by maddezmom (a host of the General Discussion forum).
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

Happy Easter everybody!!

2. Which is just as true as any other mythology.

Null set.

11. Must you engage in this type of divisive rhetoric?

Can't we just live and let live when it comes to people of faith... all faiths? Atheism, too.

15. I don't think the OP is appropriate to GD

It is either a Lounge or R/T, and be construed as offensive because of Passover, so I understand what the poster is saying.

19. Either ALL mythologies are true, or ALL are false

You can't have it both ways.
The rebirth of a god figure is common to many mythologies.

20. The OP is sharing has/her religious opinion with the community...

...no reasons others shouldn't do the same.

23. Proselytizing in General Discussion is not on, I think.

I'm not a host in GD any longer, but I believe your post belongs in the Religion forum, not here. DU has members of all faiths, and of no faith at all. Religion is one of the topics that is not supposed to appear here, according to the SOP.

There's no problem with wishing people a happy Easter, of course, but this post is pure proselytizing.

27. Easter was a popular time for pogroms against Jews

Did you know that?

I bet our Jewish DUers do.

36. Happy Easter soc7.

Sorry that those of us on DU who have religious beliefs are treated with as much regard as an African-American male teenager wearing a hoodie, walking through a Klan Rally.

The religious left is hated on FR and DU as well.

A shame.

38. You are incorrect.

People on DU have all sorts of religious beliefs. You use that term as though it only refers to Christians. We have many Christians on DU. We also have Jews, Pagans, Wiccans, Moslems, Hindus, Buddhists, and followers of other religious beliefs. We have our share of agnostics and atheists, too. This is a political forum, not a religious forum. There is a place here for discussion of religion. It is a group here. GD is not that group.

Religious belief does not equal Christianity. There are many religious beliefs. At DU, though, we don't think much of proselytizing for any religion. And that's what this OP is about.

      What a bunch of dickheads.

       "Smudging" and "healing white light" are all over that fricking page and that stuff never gets tossed.

       When will they finally admit that they hate Christianity, and only sort of tolerate it when espoused by a negro person (eg, MLK, "Rev" Sharpton, "Rev" Jackson)?

25. This thread will be used to prove

that the Devil rules at DU!

Or that the cesspool known as DU is full of intolerant pricks. Do that shit on Ramadan. I dare you. Matter of fact, say ANYTHING negative about Islam.

Pussies.

So, when hunting DUmmies one should hold a cross in one hand and a silver bullet firing weapon in the other.

While Christians are awaiting the second coming Jews are awaiting the first coming but I never encountered a jew that that took it as an affront or Vise versa.

A quick google shows that Pew research pegs 75% of Americans identify as Christian.  And you can't even post positively about Easter at the DUmp...not shocking. >:(

Oh, I think that's been known pretty much since Day One.

I'm sending DUmmies pictures of vibrating healing white hands for Easter. :-)
