You know, Easter is about Priapus the god of fertility and sex. That is the whole reason people celebrated it until christians came along and said it was about jesus.

Yes, the Christians hijacked a lot of pagan feasts and called them their own. Here in the west of Ireland we have a pilgrim mountain called Croagh Patrick. Long before it was a Christian pilgrim mountain it was an area of worship:)

Christians are delusional in general.
Only 6% of terrorist attacks since 1980 – 2005 have been Muslims.
7% are jewish extremists.

Basically, muslims are less violent than christians but christians think the opposite because of 9/11, Paris, and Belgium.
