Someone told Me the Easter celebration is a Pagan celebration?
Posted by: | CommentsI guy I work with told me that the Easter holiday is a big scam, and that it really is a Pagan fertility festival. Hence the reason for eggs and rabbits. I’ve always wondered what they had to do with the reseruction of Jesus. Could it be true? Have we been lied to be our religious leaders? Could it be possible we have been doing wrong ?
Religion is about cultural control. Sometimes it is motivated by the wise who wish to give the benefit of their wisdom to the uneducated and illiterate. For example, imagine a god of brilliant and shining that smites those who don’t preform the sacred ceremony of (the Bath) by killing them. We now know this as hygiene and the terrible product of poor hygiene it the plague.This power to manipulate, is used by kind wise people to get people to do things that are good for them without having to explain to them why. However this same power to manipulate is also used to conquer and dominate. Many of the Christian holidays are modifications of pagan ceremonies. The dates practiced and some of the symbols and practiced were assimilated or modified to enhance Christianity’s appeal to the pagans that the Christians wanted to conquer and subject. Most of these people became servants and second class citizens to the holy roman empire. Today we see Christianity being modified, it’s holidays and practiced being manipulated to serve a new god. We see an emphasis on all aspects of holidays that stimulate travel and consumption. The new god is money. Ask yourself this, would you be willing to lite aflame a sacred Benjamin?
I am a student, how would I go about getting a job at Stansted Airport over the Easter Holidays?
Who do I need to contact etc..
You would need to check the Stansted website to see if there are any vacancies. If so, then follow the steps to apply.
If there are no vacancies, call the HR department to see if they have anything available or any work experience that you could do over the holidays.
