God this is ******* annoying...
before you opine on the meaning of a holiday, perhaps you should spend what, 2 seconds, researching it:
"The Israelites were instructed to mark the doorposts of their homes with the blood of a spring lamb and, upon seeing this, the spirit of the Lord
passed over these homes, hence the term "passover".
[1] When Pharaoh freed the Israelites, it is said that they left in such a hurry that they could not wait for bread dough to rise (leaven). In commemoration, for the duration of Passover no
leavened bread is eaten, for which reason it is called "The Festival of the Unleavened Bread".
[2] Matzo (flat unleavened bread) is a symbol of the holiday.
Together with
Shavuot ("Pentecost") and
Sukkot ("Tabernacles"), Passover is one of the
three pilgrimage festivals (
Shalosh Regalim) during which the entire Jewish populace historically made a pilgrimage to the
Temple in Jerusalem.
Samaritans still make this pilgrimage to
Mount Gerizim, but only men participate in public worship.

Passover - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"God had instructed the Israelites to slay a lamb or a kid and to place its blood around their doors as protection from "the plague of death". That night they ate the lamb in preparation for their march from Egypt. They were to observe this "pass over" annually in he springtime.
But the sacrifice of an innocent lamb year by year also looked forward to the death of Jesus Christ some fifteen hundred years later. In God's continuing revelation to His people the eternal concept unfolded of one individual becoming a "lamb to the slaughter" (Isaiah 53). Naturally, Christians understood this of Jesus Christ and wanted to remember it, as Jesus instructed the disciples.
Jesus was called "the Lamb of God" by John the Baptist (John 1:29, 36), and the New Testament amply verifies the symbolism. Paul, for example, wrote "Christ our Passover [lamb] is sacrificed for us" (I Corinthians 5:7)."
The Christian Meaning of the Lord's Supper and Passover
I see no justification for the assertion that it's a dilute holiday that has nothing to do with God and only celebrates *freedom*. Lol.
What idiots.
