Astarte (Easter) day, fertility goddess day, came to be celebrated by the Astarte temple priests impregnating vestal virgins on the temple altar. Their babies, born the following December, would then be sacrificed on the altar of Astarte the following Easter, and their blood used to dye eggs red in celebration of the arrival of the fertility goddess. Thus our ‘Christian’ tradition of Easter eggs. So we can celebrate the traditions of men, incorporated into the church by those who diluted the worship of God with the worship of pagan gods in order to be ‘inclusive’ of pagan celebrants. Or we can celebrate the feasts of the Lord, who established His feasts as signs of His plans for us.

God wants us to remember Him by celebrating His feasts. Instead, we celebrate pagan gods and goddesses by celebrating their feasts and incorporating the ugliest symbols of their feasts, and making them our traditions. Ishtar / Astarte /Ashtaroth (where we got our ‘Easter’) was a Babylonian fertility goddess. The legend was that Semiramis, the widow of Nimrod, died and then came back, as the fertility goddess Astarte, who descended to the Euphrates River in a giant egg, broke out of the egg, and turned a dove into an egg laying rabbit. This happened on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.

Hey Bud. Watch it. That's high brow stuff for lefties.

Acting like a 5 year old spoiled brat throwing a tantrum on the supermarket floor because Mommy wouldn't buy him a candy bar. Carrey's bathroom humor got old some time ago, and now he's gracing us with his philosophy, which is far uglier and grotesque than his humor.

Histrionics? Freaking out like children? Let’s see, what exactly came from Carrey – “Fux News (X3); rant; rave; bare its fangs; viciously slander; no brain in their head; irresponsible buffoonery; attention is all they care about.” (Sounds a lot like projection; you know, project your own issues on others, making the assumption that everyone else in the world has your problems). But there’s more: “Kinda-sorta-almost-journalists; extreme and intolerant views; a colostomy bag; petty and poisonous; bullies; a giant culture fart full of malevolence.” 18 juvenile insults in 4 short paragraphs are his response to criticism. Just who is demonstrating histrionics and acting like a child?

Actually, about 385,000 babies have been mowed down. Most in the womb; some were outside the womb and had their brains sucked out.

Blather? You really like the word "blather" don't you. Careful; judge not, lest you be judged. Try reading your own incomprehensible blather before you accuse others of blathering.

of more dollars to enrich their sponsors through more pointless huge government rescue programs, why not? It's what they do. What they don't understand is that THEY are the dinosaurs of this age.

Excellent catch, James. Wormwood will be the big one; but before that, the real disaster of thousands of meteors striking the earth will send Obama, Biden, Gore, Soros, Bloomberg, et al, to the Cheyenne Mountain bunker. "And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, as a fig tree drops its late figs when it is shaken by a mighty wind. Then the sky receded as a scroll when it is rolled up, and every mountain and island was moved out of its place. And the kings of the earth, the great men, the rich men, the commanders, the mighty men, every slave and every free man, hid themselves in the caves and in the rocks of the mountains." Rev 6:13-15. We know it will happen, but hey, if our Big Brother government can print billions and billions

security to a United Arab Emirates company, putting the enemy in charge of our national port security. Your meaningless comments are really not worthy of replies, and hopefully Mr. Ransom wastes no more time reading them.
