IS EASTER NOT CORRECT ?

The BIBLE says 3 nights and 3 days dead.
Easter as we know it would be wrong by a night ?

Maybe all this started Wedndayday afternoon.
There was a High Day on Thursday (this amounted to a ceremonial sabbath of passover)
Then the WCC are wrong as Jesus rose on sunset Saturday not on Sunday as they claim.

This then would give the correct days and nights dead.

Give this serious thinking.

Easter has nothing to do with the death and rise of a mythical deity. But has everything to do with the Summer Solstice.
The story told by our Christian religion, is a pre-rational symbolic fable that makes a great children's story, but has no place in a rational or transrational worldview.

To understand EASTER one must start with JESUS being arrested on Wednesday night.
Then you have to work out Being in the heart of the earth as Johnah was in the Whale three whole days.
Easter has a FLAW as it is really from Wednesday night to Sunday at DAWN.
Sunday and monday have nothing to do with Jesus death or rising from the dead.

That part is to do with bunny rabbits and easyter eggs. Fertility.

While you are correct about the beginnings of Easter, it doesn't do any harm to celebrate.

The beginnings of the celebration may be 'hidden' up to a point, but these days there is plenty of info available if you choose to look.
Jesus was a living being, he did die in a tragic way, so I don't see that there is untruths.Churches have added to the celebrations but I can't see that any harm is being done.

It may appear that no harm is done. But i would have to question this.

Is it in humanity's best interest when we have evolved into an era where the rational mind is predominant, to still be promoting and teaching a Mythological pre-rational fable, that has absolutely no validity in a rational world.
Don't get me wrong, there are still society's in this world who live with a mythological pre-rational worldview, and for us to get to the rational worldview, we have had to pass through the mythological worldview, and each individual person, also passes through the mythological pre-rational stage.
Surely, by still teaching this mythological story, we are contributing to keeping younger ones stuck in their worldview, we are not helping to evolve to the next level. Certainly if you want to have some sort of celebration, and eat easter eggs with the kids, go for it, but tell them the truth of the matter, not some lie, that you don't even believe in yourself.
