    Because you are not religious person , I will give you few information

    • Easter is not a fixed day on calendar. Easter is calculated by the lunar calendar, so any day between March -June could be Easter.
    • True Christian don’t celebrate holiday, true Christian worship Jesus Christ.
    • The message of “Good Friday and Easter “ is that the world rejected Jesus Christ and killed him for it. Any Christian who thinks on Easter day, government of the world will facilitate Christian to celebrate Easter completely missed the message of Easter and need to read Bible. May be buying Trump Bible is a good idea.

    Plus the Puritans, for all of their many faults, were actually pretty progressive for their time. I mostly poke fun at puritanism in the more colloquial usage rather than Puritanism proper. But great point.

    You still haven't explained why you think it's insulting. The existence of transgender people isn't any kind of attack on Christianity or Christians. Some transgender people will be Christian after all, and plenty of Christians are accepting, or at least truly tolerant, of transgender people.

    As for distraction from Easter, that only came about because a handful of political agitators (not religious leaders) posted about it on social media and Fox "News" decided to spin it up in to a story. I doubt you would have even been aware of the White House statement otherwise (after all, you weren't aware of it the previous three years). I suspect that anyone who actually cares about the true message of Easter would be more disappointed about their faith being used as a tool for partisan domestic politics, even if they don't approve of the government recognising the Transgender Day of Visibility.

    The people who thinks

    “ it is insulting”, “it is attack on Christian and Easter”, they completely misunderstand the death of Christ and his resurrection.

    The world rejected Christ and killed him. The MAGA wants to observe the “death of Christ” while complaining how world is treating them. Do they even know why Christ died ?

    You have to buy Trump Bible to know what Christian do and don’t.

    You’re not religious yourself, so you are offended on behalf of others?

    How very woke of you.

    Problem with MAGA is that they claim they are Christian but they never read Bible.

    If they did they wouldn’t complain about insult on Easter because the whole concept of Easter is that the world rejected Jesus and killed him.

    As I have said, buy that Bible Trump is selling and read few passages. It will open up a whole new world about Christianity.

    Awesome point, now do you think you could rely on a diagnosis that isn’t complete bullshit you pulled from your ass?

    You haven't answered where you got that idea yet. Did you just make it up?

    Where did I say I was offended? I posted a story about yet another Biden stunt on a political board, and sure enough, plenty of libs also posted about this story.

    They had to get all three of the Stooges together for that fundraiser to make money. I think they will be together a bunch to get people to go to the rallies.

    It's quite telling how NOBODY will join Trump for a fund raising dinner. No former GOP presidents, no former cabinet members---NOBODY. Because he's an incompetent traitor.

    Indeed. Everyone who knows trump avoids him like the plague, including his wife and kids. He only attracts the most unscrupulous lowlifes anymore.

    Biden stunt?
    The TG day of visibility was established in 2009. It's always been on March 31
    It also fell on Easter in 2013. Don't seem to remember the collective clutching of pearls back then.

    It's manifactured outrage so they can keep playing the victim. Notice none of them have addressed Biden's statement on Easter about celebratung.

    Contrast that with the deer leader using Waster to settle scores with enemies. Totally in the spirit of Easter.

    Fake conservative Christians are really going to lose their minds when they find out Easter is on 4/20 next year.

    He has Resin!

    The wealthy Jewish authorities rejected him and his teachings. Hardly the whole 'world'.

    Can anyone think of a reason why Biden didn't do his visibility thing on his Spanish language Twitter account?

    White House Spanish X account doesn't mention 'Transgender Day of Visibility'

    The White House's Spanish-language account on X, formerly Twitter, failed to commemorate Transgender Day of Visibility even as its English-language account celebrated it on March 31, Easter Sunday.

    On Sunday, both X accounts posted similar messages wishing Americans a happy Easter, but it was only the English-language account that celebrated Transgender Day of Visibility, according to a Fox News review of the social media accounts. President Biden's proclamation declaring Sunday as Transgender Day of Visibility was widely criticized by conservatives who said it was disrespectful and tone-deaf.

    A better question would be can anyone think of a reason for why we should care?
