The U.S. strayed quite a bit from its Christian roots since the 1950s. It was not perfect, but compared to today it was a picnic in the park.

Yes a lot has changed over the years. There didn't used to be an Easter bunny when I was a child. Just a sacrificial Lamb.

Well, I had the Easter Bunny who brought the Easter Basket of Goodies... then about the time I
was told about Santa being fake, I learned also so was the Easter Bunny.

And then it ws time to "grow up" into the truth.

Not fake, just misleading

Easter is the pagan festival of Astarte in "Fertility" spring time, it was celebrated long before the time of Jesus Christ

Christmas is the Roman celebration of the winter solstice in the rebirth of the sun, Baccus, wine, women and song

New Years Day was in commemoration to the pagan Roman god "Janus" with January 1st being this false god's day

Roman Catholicism and their system of beliefs still influence many today

But even as far back as the 1950s not many people were celebrating a pagan festival around that time. And although Christians celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus it is in no way pagan - even though it is called Easter which sounds a bit like oestrogen - a female hormone.

Which is why it was so wrong to put EASTER in the KJV... at least it got corrected in the NKJV

My study shows "Easter" was the pagan festival being observed by King Herod, he was a Nabatean of Arab decent, a sellout to the Roman emperors following their pagan customs and beliefs in "Easter"

When the call went out to kill all male children 2 yrs old and younger, Herod killed his own son, the Jewish Torah states thou shalt not kill, and Herod was a murderer many times over, not following the Jewish Torah

Was Herod waiting for the "Passover" to end "No", he was waiting for the pagan Roman festival of Astarte or "Easter" to end
