The word Easter actually comes from the Germanic name for the celebration of the Spring goddess Eostare - the celebration was knows as Ostara or Eostare in England and Germany for a long time prior to the coming of Christianity. Hence the odd fact that English speaking countires are the only ones who celebrate Easter. Other countries celebrate the "Ressurection of Christ"

I said early on that I'm more scared of the LDS than Southern Baptists. My reasoning for that is the wierd concoction of Mormon "mythology" and practices that they like to insist are mainstream, but which no other Christian body recognizes. Their political and social attempts to persuade other Americans that they are mainstream, have allowed them to get away with quite a lot of really scary things. Mainly one of the biggest is that the state of Utah is nearly a Theocratical democracy in a similar way to Ireland.
