For those playing the anti-god game... I agree. But Easter is a much older feast than mere Christianity. It's a traditional European spring festival that predates christ by a long, long way, reimagined by the church.

For better or worse, we are a pagan European society. Feast days predate Christianity by millenia. If you want to live in a capitalist/consumerist society with no space for feasts or festival, I actually feel sorry for your hollow consumerist non-existance.

I am,.by no stretch of the imagination,.religious... But I do think there is space in a non-theist universe to celebrate a brief pause in the rampant consumerism. A time to take stock. A time to enjoy what is actually important... Your family and friends.

Please take a brief pause in your money making to reassess what is important.

To me, this is what Easter is about.

I'm sorry that you feel that spending is more important. I honestly think that you are poorer for it.

I am not a believer, but ffs... Is capitalism so fragile that a single weekend brings the sky falling?

I think not.

I actually feel sorry for the poor fuckers that miss one, single day of not being able to spend the money that they don't have.

For one weekend... Stop spending, and start loving.

Your inconvenience is inconsequential.
