And Jews should not celebrate Christmas, either. [/quote]

Most of us don't![/quote]

I know of ZERO Christians who host Seders.  BUT, I know of MANY, MANY, MANY Jews how have Christmas trees!![/quote]

Whoa. Calm down.

First of all, just because you don’t know any doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Second, a Christmas tree is hardly equivalent to a Passover Seder.[/quote]

Right... Because it doesn’t impact your religion so it doesn’t matter.

[/quote]

Hardly. First of all, most Jewish families don’t have a Christmas tree. Interfaith families do, but hardly any wholly Jewish families.

[b]Second, the Christmas tree is not a religious symbol. [/b]It’s not like a nativity scene.[/quote]

Thank you for clarifying what is a religious symbol for Christians! I’ll follow your lead and clarify what you should consider a religious symbol in Judaism, sounds good?

[/quote]

If a Christmas tree is generally considered a religious symbol, please provide evidence of such, and I’ll gladly admit I was wrong. [b]We’ve provided ample evidence of why it’s inappropriate for Christians to have a Christian Seder[/b]. [/quote]

Your evidence is that Christians should trash half their holy book because many prophets and traditions overlap with Judaism. You keep saying Passover is Easter when it is not. You want to erase half of the Christian tradition because you think the stories in the Old Testament/Torah/Qran  belong only to Jews. That’s a nonstarter. I do not accept that Passover that is described in the Bible amounts to appropriation or that it is Easter—a separate holiday.

[b]Dude. Where is the Passover Seder in the bible? [/b]Where is the matzoh, the charoset, the bitter herbs dipped in salt water? The Passover seder is a Jewish religious rite. The Christian religious rites centered around the story of Exodus and Jesus’s Last Supper, and the analogy of Jesus to the lamb sacrificed to save the Israelites is Easter. Full stop. In addition you have the Eucharist if you are Catholic or your church has communion. Nobody is saying you cannot celebrate Easter. [/quote]

It’s in Exodus.

I can understand that the term Seder has specific meaning relating to reading the Haggadah and specific blessings and traditions. Since Christians aren’t doing that, I can see why you wouldn’t want them calling their Passover meal a Seder. However, I do not understand trying to erase Passover from the Bible and Christianity. It is not Easter.

Would you prefer that Christians call their Passover meal a Passover supper? This is actually what most churches do btw. [/quote]
for the kajillionth time nobody is erasing Exodus. the seder is not in any Chrisitian religious text. Please discuss the meaning of Easter and the Eucharist with your priest or pastor. [/quote]
DP. So that is a yes. Btw the meaning of Easter is to celebrate Jesus rising. You keep claiming that in Christianity Passover = Easter. It does not. [/quote]

Right, and has been explained, we do the Passover Supper to recount on Jews deserved to be enslaved and deserve whatever else us has happened to them at our hands or otherwise, because they won't accept the Head Hebrew in Charge. Now, pass the fava beans. [/quote]
