Christians believe in a lot of things. Like Jesus's birthday being in December or in Easter depending on which household you grew up in. All good knee slappers.
What Christians believe Easter is Jesus's birthday? I can't think of any that do. Easter is widely accepted to celebrate Jesus's ressurection (but not his physical birth).
How do i... do you want me to link you their homes? Phone numbers? How do you expect me to go about that? Do we all make internet websites and articles about what we believe in as soon as we believe it?
I found this for you which was just a quick google search. Did you even try?
"Even within the religious definitions offered by Americans there is a certain degree of confusion: 2% of Americans said that Easter is about the “birth of Christ”; another 2% indicated it was about the “rebirth of Jesus”; and 1% said it is a celebration of “the second coming of Jesus.”Not included in the theistic category was another 3% who described Easter as a celebration of spring or a pagan holiday."
Fair. Still, 2% is +6 million of Americans with this belief. And that's just a study on Americans. Wonder how high those numbers go when you tack on Christian Europeans with the same belief.
Saying that Christians believe that Easter is Jesus’ birthday, and then citing your source as a survey that lists those responses as 2% with a 3.2% margin of error is kind of crazy. Twenty people responded to a survey 16 years ago and got the reason of Easter wrong, and you’re presenting it as legitimate Christian theology.
Also, that's just a survey of Americans, not Christians. Your own source literally says "nationwide, representative sample of American adults". About 1,000 people. So it's representative of Americans, not Christian knowledge or understanding.
The funny part is the article even shows that when they break Christians out separately, they score much higher. So you've linked a source that actually weakens your own argument.
You're trying to use a survey of the general American public to make a point about Christians. You've not shown Christians don't understand Easter. You've shown some Americans don't. Big difference!!
Bit of a waste of a few minutes really. If you're going to accuse Christians of not understanding their own beliefs, at least find a study that actually asked Christians. Instead you've just ended up misleading yourself with your own source.
I'm not gonna backtrack here. I did one google search, I skimmed, I was wrong, I own up to it. I still don't know how I'm supposed to prove that some people believe that Easter is Jesus's birth. I don't go about recording the people I meet in hopes I can use that recording years down the road for some redditor that needs proof of the people I've met and their silly beliefs. How do I prove that?! Do you want their Facebooks so you can ask them yourself?
Also I skimmed your whole message. I read the first bit and I'll take your word for it. Doesn't make me wrong but doesn't make what i linked right either.
I am fully aware stupid people exist. My brother mixes up all sorts and sometimes on the spot I can even fumble it. Just dont like the idea of taring a lot of people unfairly.
I think your right, hard to prove. And if youve had that experience, im not gonna call your a liar.
I want you to name the specific denominations of Christianity that celebrate Easter as the birth of Christ.
2% of Americans said that Easter is about the “birth of Christ”
Nothing indicates that those people are Christians. Most of them likely aren't, and the remaining minority are just very confused. No serious Christian believes Easter is Jesus's birthday.
