Of course not - it’s full of long words and sound scholarship. He just
looked at the first picture and assumed the text would support it, not
debunk it.

Down at the bottom is a nice discussion of the very Christian origins of
the Easter traditions of “bunnies and eggs”, and a good source for all the
Ishtar and Eostre cobblers - Hislop. A rabid 19th century Protestant
minister whose writings have been demonstrated to be total bollocks by
scholars since - but is still revered by Jehovah’s Witnesses and a few
other pseudo Christian cults. The other bits of nonsense discussed bear a
close similarity to the shite Dave keeps coming up with about the satanic
Catholic Church, and some of his other “quirks” - so perhaps his teachers
are true believers in all this “crap” (a direct quote from the linked
article).
