Failed Logic: Airing "The Ten Commandments" during Easter weekend. 

Yeah, that makes sense. Airing a movie about Moses, the Jewish/Hebrew people, and events that happened thousands of years BEFORE the birth of Christ, during a weekend where Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Christ.
 


and the only reply

9. Passover was never a Pagan celebration. It's origins are well-known, and entirely Hebraic.  But I do appreciate the all capsing, to make the duh in your post easier to find.

HA HA HA HA HA HA!! :rotf:

Christianity is rooted in Judaism and The Ten Commandments is embraced by Christians. Also, it is Passover for the Jews. Also, The Ten Commandments is a good movie. It has Charleton Heston and Yul Brynner, two great actors.

6. Hmm...Perhaps you've heard of Passover...
 or, perhaps not.

Not everyone professes Christianity, you know.

15. Regarding the Passover event, then why not air the movie Wednesday night or whenever Passover
 actually occurs?

ABC could have slotted 8:00pm to 12:00am Wednesday night for that. It would have been more appropriate.

17. Because that's when the f@&#ing Seder is going on.
 Sunday, on the other hand, is when the Movie Of The Week is on. 

And Passover wasn't just Wednesday night, it's still going on. F@&#ing Christian exceptionalist types just can't let anybody else have ANYTHING, can you? Did you even know the Last Supper was a Seder? I'm gonna guess no on that.

Gotta love how the Little Goonstm who claim not to believe in a higher power are always interjecting their two cents on every religious discussion over there.

If they truly didn't care they'd never say a word on threads like that.

Not only is it currently passover for Jews (Passover began on Wednesday evening, and it lasts 8 days.), but Christianity recognizes how closely Easter and Passover are linked.  Not only was Jesus' last supper a Seder meal, but in many ways his death was a new Passover, that saved not only the first born son from death, but all of humanity.  Most languages recognize this with their word for Easter (Pascha, Paques, Pasqua, Pascua, etc.)

For far too many, basic religious knowledge comes 100% from anti-Christian sites that deliberately distort, lie and slant.   :thatsright:
