It is Easter Sunday. This is the most important day of the Christian calendar as it celebrates the resurrection of Christ. Stores should be closed.


Not everyone is Christian. Your religion’s stories are kind of a hassle for some people.

Boo hoo.

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?


Not really. I know tons of non Christians who celebrate Christmas. It’s not religious at all for most people.

Christ-mas. Please notice the first six letters. Your friends are free to celebrate, or not, any way they want. This is still America, thank God!


Yet based on pagan traditions.

Easter moves around according the the timing of the full moon. Pagan



Not at all. The celebration of the resurrection is incorporated into traditional holidays of the first century, similar to Christmas. Had nothing to do with modern day pagans.

Maybe people want the choice to work or not work.


So, get a job that allows you to work on Easter Sunday. Problem solved.

Please. Americans are hideous about all the crap they buy. Workers need a break.

This is a southern thing. Only maybe 30% of stores were closed on Easter where I grew up in the midwest.

News flash: not everyone is Christian. And this isn't a "Christian nation" ...maybe non-Christians want to make some money.

News Flash:
Non-Christians are WELCOME to stay open!
Don’t you know that????


Calm down. I was responding to someone who said that everything SHOULD be closed b.c religion.
