Inanna is an ancient Mesopotamian goddess associated with love, beauty, sex, war, justice and political power. So where did all this crap come from? I think I’ll keep countering stupid, historically-illiterate crap with detailed, scholarly and carefully-argued debunking thanks.
It is called Wielkanoc (which if literally translated- Wielka = Big and noc=night).By chance, is anyone here a native German speaker, or know one? This became a common practice until Shem who was one of Noah’s three sons and the great uncle of Nimrod, in his anger and wrath killed Nimrod and cut him up into small pieces as an example to others not to commit such abominable sins and not to follow such evil religious practices. The fact remains that if atheists talk about fact checking and accuracy they need to stop peddling bullshit New Age memes and nonsense that have their origin in kooky nineteenth century evangelical Protestant garbage.“The explanation is no more than yet another somewhat longwinded way, to bolster a patriarchal religion.”And that is just inarticulate gibberish.
But it seems that the tradition of decorating and eating eggs at Easter does have a medieval Christian origin after all. Tim O’Neill’s forthright blog does a valuable job in keeping us all honest, and reminding us that historical evidence rarely behaves as one might want it to.” – A. G. Leventis Professor of Greek Culture at the University of Cambridge“A brilliantly erudite blog that stands sentinel against the wish-fulfilment and tendentiousness to which atheists, on occasion, can be no less prey than believers”“Tim O’Neill’s blog is a fantastic place to turn for critical investigation of commonly-held assumptions about religion in the ancient world.”“Tim O’Neill is a known liar ….
But to leap from this to claiming the festival itself was somehow “pagan” is simply wrong – Christians had been celebrating Easter at this time since at least the second century AD, which was around 400 years before Christianity came to England and encountered any worshippers of Eostre. For this reason the eating of flesh meat is forbidden in every fast, while the Lenten fast lays a general prohibition even on eggs and milk foods.” (So this prohibition gave rise to two European customs maintained to this day: eating pancakes and pastries on “Shrove Tuesday” before the Lent fast began and eating eggs on Easter Sunday when it ended. Early English missionaries took that term with them when they evangelised, for example, in Germany (where their ancestors had come from). And the holiday is celebrated giving an ode to that faith.Easter bunnies and the tradition following that theme came along in the more modern eras. And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, and Erech, and Accad,and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.”Nimrod became a god-man to the people and Semiramis, his wife and mother, became the powerful Queen of ancient Babylon.Nimrod was eventually killed by an enemy, and his body was cut in pieces and sent to various parts of his kingdom.Nimrod’s and Semiramis’ followers plunged so deeply into sin and the occult that they even sacrificed babies to Satan in their worship of him. And they trace it back to It’s one of the two months, the other during the autumnal equinox. Unfortunately the 25 responses the post received displayed little to no sceptical analysis, let alone any actual reference to source material or evidence. Here's why I ask:I recall reading somewhere the suggestion that the word "Easter" does NOT come from the Germanic noun root _oest_ ("the dawn" or "the east") with a SUFFIX added to it, but rather the Germanic verb root _stehren_ ("to stand") with a PREFIX added.
So even in the other Germanic languages we have Faeroese: Páskir; Swedish: Påsk; Icelandic: Páskar; Norwegian: Påske; Danish: Påske; Dutch: Pasen etc.We don't know what the etymology of "Easter" and "Ostern", but the former comes from the Old English "Eostre" and the latter from the Old High German "Ostara". Yes, there are a few genuine “virgin birth” and “dying and rising gods” stories and yes, they may have had some influence on the Jesus stories. Which is deeply ironic, given that the source of these memes seems to be a nineteenth century fundamentalist Christian minister. (The idea that all doors were open, including the doors of the otherworld/afterlife, was a consequence of everybody being away from home, watching the court cases and paying their taxes.
(There’s a small but important difference in that Pascha was timed from the Equinox, whereas Eostur was timed from the Solstice (Modraniht), meaning that they wouldn’t always have aligned. Also, she ends up in a position of rulership over her free father, her slaveowner, and a good chunk of Kildare. Wouldn’t he have needed at least a working knowledge of Latin and Greek to finish his dissertation (on science in the Roman Empire, right)?People are now saying hot cross buns are of pure pagan origin, others saying a 12th/13th Century Monk.People “say” all kinds of things, largely because they heard some other people “say” these things and decided they liked them. )I should also point out that if Eostur was indeed a festival at the full moon of Eosturmonath, it explains why there were multiple ‘feasts’ as Bede has it, since the full moon lasts for multiple days.Those who didn’t own hens probably had no eggs, my guess is Easter was the only time many had eggs.“It still doesn’t mean there is zero pagan connection to eggs, just that no evidence has been found.”Given that there is no evidence of any pagan origin and plenty of evidence that the tradition was related to Christian fasting, Occam’s Razor says the latter is most likely.Nice work here.
