[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Whether God or Eostra (if this was an actual faith, and frankly there’s no evidence for that, see previous para) are “real” is obviously a separate question that is best answered with faith. [/quote]

Well thanks for admitting there is no evidence of a god.

And for telling me that it is OK to believe in Eostra on the exact same principle of faith.

What cannot be believed based on faith?[/quote]

For sure. You’re welcome to believe in a Middle Ages goddess despite there being no evidence anybody in the actual Middle Ages believed in her. [/quote]

I do not believe such a god existed, but I now know I am justified should I choose to.

Oh I also know I can say stuff in old books was probably made up.  Like Bede, and the Bible.[/quote]

If your documentary standards are low. Bede was one guy writing a hundred years after this supposed pagan goddess and lots of scholars have shed doubt on his claim.

Also Bede never mentioned eggs or rabbits or anything about the cult of Eostra having to do with spring or anything else, so for that you’re really on your own (you and that German guy who in 1850 admitted he was speculating).

In contrast, there are writings going back millennia about Moses, David, Jesus, and Buddha. There are Greco-Roman sculptures and tales about their gods, there are statues of mother goddesses from many millennia ago, and more. Where are the statues and writings about Oestra?

If you think these things are equivalent, go right ahead.

Lol now this is the funniest post in this silly thread.  Statues!  There's no statues of your god but there is of mine! And my book is OLDER, therefore truer!

Your whole life is based on this flawed logic!

Statues!
