So much hostility on Easter. Give it a rest. People can go one day without shopping. Spend time with family. Let workers spend time with theirs.

Me too! Recent history showed us all that evangelical Christians are some of the most hateful, hypocritical, full of shit bunch on the planet. I have lost respect for all who try to shove their religion down my throat.


Weird. I work with a few white people who say racist things all the time but me and other black and Latino people didn't hold it against them. All vote democrat though with the exception of me who doesn't even like those people.


What’s your point? I read it there times and can’t figure it out. You think Christians in this country are somehow being mistreated, have had a tough time? What? Christianity is a set of learned beliefs, not a race.

Its not a major US holiday. Its a religious holiday.

Christmas is also a major US holiday.


That is a federal holiday. Easter is not.

Christmas is also a *religious* holiday.
Too bad, huh?


Exactly. Did the fed just choose Christmas instead of Easter as the one Christian holiday to be celebrated?

Is it? It’s not a federal holiday or anything.

All of the shops around me are open regular hours today.



Yep no holiday for government workers


They don’t work Sundays.


If it were a federal holiday that falls on Sunday, we’d get Monday off.

I’m sure it’s an economic issue. The people who run the big stores that are closed on Easter have probably run the numbers and determined it’s not cost effective to be open today especially with probably having to pay employees holiday pay to get them to work. So the stores are mostly closed as a result, except for grocery stores and some big box stores on reduced hours. Shrug.

You can’t have it both ways.


I’ll take whatever way makes religious people stop trying to push their beliefs on everyone else.

Let the rapture take them all away or whatever wackadoodle fantasy they believe.


How does that relate to stores being closed on Easter? Will you have the govt force private businesses to be open on certain days just to please you?


I’m not OP and almost all shops were open near me.
