Term Definition
Easter
  1. A holiday featuring fertility symbols such as eggs,  rabbits, and a big resurrection.
  2. Easter, corruption of Ishtar: Babylonian Mother Goddess, Assyrian War Goddess. Known as Sheperdess of the Lands.  (See Assimilation, Borg,  Demotion, Lamb of God.)
 
Eastern ReligionAny of a group of religions arising in Asia, such  as Taoist or Buddism, that teach harmony and inner peace. Shunned by practitioners of Christianity because they don't "proclaim the Gospel of Jesus", and  are thus deficient in violence and blood-shed.

ElderMormon male 19-21 years of age.
 
EpiscopalianCatholic lite.
 
Epsilon
  1. Fifth letter of the Hellenic (=Greek) alphabet.
  2. A new-fangled name for the ancient Hellenic (=Greek) gods. This name has been invented by a group of people like Yiannis Fourakis and Anestis Keramydas, who seem to be the pioneers of this new "cult". Many modern Hellenes, disgusted with their country's and nation's cultural de-evolution (caused by 17 centuries of Christian fundamentalism), have turned to their ancient ancestors' history, philosophy and even religion for (almost exclusively philosophic and artistic) inspiration. This has scared the cross-bearing, gilded, fat parasites, so, somewhere around 1996, the aforementioned deranged gentlemen Fourakis and Keramydas pioneered the "Epsilon". They have mixed the gospels with the alleged teachings of Apollonius of Tyana (who they identify with the Christian religion's Jesus), added a hefty dose of racism, anti-semitism and ridiculous theories about Jews being the vile descendants of some supernatural beings from the constellation of Draco, the Olympian gods being from Andromeda, the Hellenic RACE (what utter BULLSHIT! The ancient Hellenes never even pondered a theory of racial discrimination or superiority) being from... Sirius, some apocalyptic crap and other such idiotic ramblings. Unfortunately, many gullible people, in their (rightful) effort to escape the grasp of the church, have fallen to this cult, which is basically a rebadged christianity, equally stupid, equally moronic, equally detrimental to civilization
(Webmaster's Note: This guy really has a bone to pick with all Greek religious institutions, doesn't he?)

 
Equal Time [for Creationism in schools]The practice of teaching mythology in a science class.
 
EvangelistGod's telemarketer.
 
EvidenceObject or event that supports the proposition in question. Insisted upon by creationists regarding evolution, but completely unnecessary regarding the existence of God.
 
Evidence for the existence of GodNone
 
Evidence for the existence of JesusThe testimony of his own cult members.
 
Evil
  1. Something that only the absence of God, or the presence  of the Devil can explain.
  2. A problem the Christian church hasn't solved in the  last 2000 years, and is not likely to.
 
Evil Atheist Conspiracy (EAC)
  1. Definition removed for your own good.
  2. What? No such conspiracy exists and most importantly,  it is not attempting to subvert and undermine the truth of Christianity.
 
EvilutionistProof that some creationists don't know how to spell.
 
Evolution
  1. A sinister plot intended to destroy the moral fabric of our country, thinly disguised as a scientific theory.
  2. A flawed theory, (ONLY a theory), concocted by stupid scientists, who are otherwise smart enough to land on  the moon, invent computers, etc.
 
ExodusA book of the Old Testament that describes the liberation of several hundred thousand Israelite slaves in Egypt after a series of plagues. The liberated slaves went on to live in the desert for 40 years. The fact that Egyptian records from that time fail to mention any plagues, nor the loss of the Pharaoh's army, and the lack of archeologic evidence of people wandering in the desert are not enough to convince "true believers" that they are believing a myth.
