"Idolater"....I'm not getting any answers about why they want to call you (and me for that matter) "Easter worshippers"..
I think it's inappropriate to get worked up over semantics when so many people were just killed. However, given the over-the-top-obvious agenda'ed structuring over these putrid 'condolences' from political 'VIPs' that could only have been cooked up in some horrific Mockingbird lair somewhere (probably at Langley???), it becomes necessary pointing out.so what?
I've heard CEO (Christmas and Easter Only) and C&E. A friend really wanted to set me up with her brother, but when she said he was a "C&E Christian", I said no thanks. That's happened quite a bit actually. Apparently, I'd make a great sister-in-law.I don't know...at least in America Chruch attendance almost doubles on Christmas and Easter (More Easter than Christmas). Should we call those people who only come to church on Christmas and Easter "Christians"? I don't have a problem with the media labeling those who go to church only on Easter and Christmas as something other than Christians, though I suspect the motive for labeling them that is different than my reasoning.
This^^^.Snarky comment: I mean, it's not like most so-called Christians actually follow Christ. When they were told they can't follow Christ and Mammon, most chose the later...
Serious answer: Use reading comprehension. Easter worshippers aren't being used to describe Christians... But Christians who are going to church to worship, on Easter. I.E.: It was likely an attack specifically directed on Easter-time worship. Stop being outraged at everything and be more concerned how attacks like this will be used as an excuse to strip people of their rights. And it will.
I agree its propaganda but it is not propaganda to make Christians do anything. Christians in modern days can not do anything. Unless u count every white atheist as Christian.They are intentionally using divisive messaging and fear mongering to drive their loyal base to anger. Once that anger manifests into the unthinkable, we are in trouble.
Yes sir, you are right about this.If you really want to go there, Easter and most of the practices linked to it are pagan-- tied to Ishtar going back to Babylon. The bunny is pagan. The eggs are pagan. Christ didn't die in April. With this in mind, Christians who are offended are right to be offended.
Personally, it's a non starter. I'm more offended by all the drone attacks and innocent lives lost under Clinton and Obama. I'm offended by Washington and Washington waste and corruption.
I'm offended by the Sri Lankan censoring their own people from "leaking truth" on social media.
I'm offended by deaths of so many Christians so far this year.
I get what you're saying, young person.Yes sir, you are right about this.
Also, I'm not angry or hate our friends from another religion. Nope. I came from a country where my faith is minority, and I have friends from this religion, they're definitely top in my lovable-person book.
I'm offended and upset but that's no where near to hate and angry. There are things happening that make us upset and as human being it's in my nature to feel that when those people who share the same faith as me getting killed and not getting the appropriate respect from the so-called world leaders.
It's funny, but my church, an independent fundamental church, doesn't see a spike in attendance at Easter or Christmas. We seem to faithfully attend, even when there's nothing more special happening than fellowship with believers. However, Anglican, Catholic and other big name brand churches are always unusually busy. It's the difference between faith and religion.I don't know...at least in America Chruch attendance almost doubles on Christmas and Easter (More Easter than Christmas).

Catholic is/can be called Christian but they're not Protestant. That's in my book.Weren't most of the people attacked Catholics? Are people considering Catholics to be Christian? Would Easter worshipers be a better way to include both Catholics, Christians, and the other non-Christian victims of the attack?
Yes, I agree... I do consider both Catholics and Protestants to be Christians. They are two forms of Christianity. But many people like to separate Catholics from Christians and they only use the label Christian in reference to Protestants... as you acknowledged. So that's why I'm questioning if the use of the phrase Easter worshipers was a way to refer to both Catholic and Protestant victims. They were all people observing the religious holiday of Easter.Catholic is/can be called Christian but they're not Protestant. That's in my book.
For Catholics they're still worshipping Jesus Christ which is why they're called Christian, but I know a lot of Christian Protestant prefer Catholic as Catholic.
They're still Christian because Easter is to honour Jesus Christ, the God of Christian hence the belief name. Christ-ian, the followers of Jesus.Yes, I agree... I do consider both Catholics and Protestants to be Christians. They are two forms of Christianity. But many people like to separate Catholics from Christians and they only use the label Christian in reference to Protestants... as you acknowledged. So that's why I'm questioning if the use of the phrase Easter worshipers was used as a way to be inclusive of both Catholic and Protestant victims.
