Well, I said this in another thread. BOTH are the two biggest of the year and very celebrated. But for him to come and not provide a way of salvation for all then the birth would not be as significant. For Christians, the death and day he rose meant salvation was secured. Without that day, the rest would not have meant as much. Its a little splitting hairs as both are extremely important to Christianity and Christmas is the biggest holiday (presents, tradition etc), but ultimately not the most important imo.

Yeah, bud. We had a conversation about this. I think both arguments are valid. I'm leaning more towards Christmas, but to be honest, it's only by a razor thin margin.

As an ex-Christian atheist, I still celebrate Christmas. Easter, not so much.

I think more people are upset as the president should have known better snd is held to a higher standard. This is just another example of who ever handles the twitter (because I doubt he does) making a pretty big error in judgement and again because the error in judgment effected Cis Christian’s everyone is saying it was an over reaction

I'm not merely saying its an overreaction, its also a bad faith criticism. This didn't affect Christians at all, you were still free to celebrate Easter as you saw fit. Its just a throwaway statement that you were free to ignore.

, who cares he tweeted last year too (not on actual Easter though so it’s irrelevant)

He didn't tweet it on Easter because last year Easter did not fall on March 31st. That's the part that you seem to be struggling to understand, this transday of visibility is always March 31st while Easter changes according to the lunar calendar. This year they fell on the same day but there was no intention to offend anyone by acknowledging both.

Yes I realize Easter shifts weekends, that’s why him tweeting it the last three years is irrelevant

No, that's why him tweeting it the last three years shows that it was not done to offend Christians and rather that this year they just happened to coincide.

How do you not get that?
