Easter is an Christian adaptation of pagan traditions but that does not matter when it comes to applying certain aspects of New Testament stories to the situations of today. Without debating whether the stories are literal or symbolic, I'm reminded of a special story that is vastly underutilized and often misrepresented by those in the pulpit. That story would be the casting out of the money changers from the temple or what I see as a condemnation of the practice of usury by the jews.
And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the moneychangers, and the seats of them that sold doves. And said unto them, It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thieves. {King James version- Matthew 21:12.13}
It's no wonder, according to the New Testament, that the jews had Jesus killed. He took his message too far that time and something had to be done before the population caught on. Controlling the money and exploitation of the masses through usury had to continue. It perpetuated the control that money changers have, even to this day.
I don't know how many preachers will dare to use this money changer story in the context of taking back our financial system today. Probably not very many since the same ethnic/religious/criminal group that controlled usury 2,000 years ago remains the same in the present and to suggest casting them out would seem to many to be anti-American, anti-capitalist and maybe even anti-semitic.
Casting out the money changers today would include abolishing the Federal Reserve and ending the globalist central banks, along with their many governmental allies, control of the money supply. It would also include innovative ways to manage economies with something much lacking at this point in time; honesty.
Killing the messenger is an age old tactic and will ever be taken by the usury criminals to maintain their positions.
Cast out the money changers? It's one area where Christians, agnostics and atheists should find common ground.
