Here comes Easter(!)

You were answered quite thoroughly before I responded, and this is the best you can come up with?

If you were a Christian you'd be a quarto-decimian. And you'd celebrate Easter (nearly) alone.

Trust me, don't even contemplate anything about me being/becoming a Christian...

Our celebration might go no further than the name, but a celebration is what it is.

True, I agree with that.

I'm aware of that yes, but I'm just letting you know enough have wrestled with this idea as to be able to give it a name. The Scriptures tell us one person honors a certain day, others hold all days to be equal. No skin off Jesus' nose either way

1. Do you actually realise that Easter is not on the day(s) when Jesus' crucifiction occurred?

Something like that

2. Does this fact not bother you?

Nope.

I mean, this is like celebrating your birthday which is really on April 12, but actually celebrating at a random date somewhere between end of March and April. THIS MAKES NO SENSE!

Is it wrong to Celebrate your birthday if you are born on the extra leap year day, every year? Of course not. You celebrate your birthday because it happened. This isn't the exact same thing, but just to show that date isn't everything.

The date of Jesus' cruxifixion is meaningless in some ways.

Why is this not mentioned more often?

Mention it more is you want, but things like this; the date of Christmas; and the paradox about God not being able to create a rock so heavy He can't lift it; get very old quickly. There are more meaningful things to talk about.
