If Mort Divine ruled the world

Firefox complains and prefers "worshiper". For some reason we delete the double-consonants.

because for some words, the "doubling of the consonants" is a "vowel-sound-modifier" like "silent E"
if the doubling of the consonant isn't functioning as a vowel-sound-modifier, then firefox reads it as an unintentional double-tapping of a key, and therefore, a typo

Easter worshippers: People who worship Easter. I wonder who Easter is? Must be some new religion.

A religion based on having babies? Now we're talking! (I did know about Ishtar BTW).

dec 25th was the day Gabriel told Mary she was getting impregnated today

we just ended up celebrating Jesus' conception-day (in middle of Hanukkah) instead of his birthday because the conception day was close to the day of the Winter Solstice which (at the time) was a major Holiday called Saturnalia

the actual birthday of Jesus is actually close to the Autumnal Equinox

Well no one ever said "Easter Worshippers" until the other day either.

It sounds ironically secular, like a bunch of consumerists who worship being able to eat chocolate eggs on their day off work.

"Behold, the Great Easter Bunny."

Linus is a "Halloween Worshipper."

 

[Einherjar86]

it doesn't sound secular at all. When people say "Easter service" they're not talking about families hunting for colored eggs.

You guys are fishing so hard.

Shut up public holiday worshippper.

I don't make the rules for how adjectives and nouns work in the English language, nor did I write the definition for "worship[p]er". I didn't even have any hand in the fact that page after page of Google returns show that in 2000 years of Christian history, there seems to be no example of Christians ever referring to themselves as "Easter worship[p]ers" that can be appealed to to demonstrate that it's just an idiom or a colloquial turn of phrase. Such a strange fabrication.

I mean, we could just chalk it up to Obama/Hillary sharing a D grade Twitter team. Hanlon's Razor and all that. Honk honk.

Praise Clepe.

it also just sounded weird
the original context should have just been something like "christians at easter church service" or something

 

[Dak]

Praise Clepe.

I like this name better than "Honkler" or the full "ClownPepe." Praise Clepe.

Then you're not looking hard enough. It pops up all over the internet and in books. The problem is that "page after page" is now swamped with idiots complaining that Clinton and Obama didn't say "Christian."

What a fucking partisan shitfest.
