So this "research" you did didn't include anything about how the date of Easter is controlled by the moon? Because it is. Easter falls differently every year because it's dictated by the first full moon after the spring equinox.
So yeah, Easter isn't set up to never fall around Passover, but not because you can't chose a date for it. And actually, Easter can easily and often fall during Passover week, because "Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan . . . the 14th day of Nisan begins on the night of a full moon after the northern vernal equinox." In other words, they are both holidays controlled by the same equinox and phase of the moon. Which is not rooted in old Pagan traditions at all.

To believe in something just because you're afraid of the consequences if you don't believe in something is no reason to believe in something.

Just seeing Cartman in that bunny suit chained to a stump was enough for me. Awesome.

I actually feel bad about Cartman being chained up to a cement brick, wearing a bunny suit while being covered in chicken blood. I mean, sure he's a messed up kid who has multiple problems, but he doesn't deserve that kind of humiliation. I love him with all my heart, but seeing him crying for help and being shot by a tranquilizer made me sad 
I'm a Eric Theodore Cartman fan!
I support CartmanxStan
Cartman, Stan, Kenny, Butters, Clyde and Bebe are my favs.

Maybe Cartman will have an encounter with a Christacabra to scare him back to Christianity.

Once the Jews rejected Christianity as a Jewish sect, it didn't make much sense for Christians to follow the Jewish calendar, and so Easter was calculated as close to the Jewish Passover as possible while keeping it on a Sunday, as it was on a Sunday (or sometime Saturday night) when Jesus arose from the dead.
And while Christians do observe Christmas as Jesus' birthday, they know that the actual day of birth is not known, but other possible dates of birth are in late March (though there are no Passover references in the Christmas story) or late September.

Not true. Passover always falls 15-22 Nissan on the Hebrew calendar, which means Passover can start as early as the 3rd week in March and start as late as the 2nd/3rd week of April. And also, Easter is Jesus's resurrection (Christmas is his birth), and that happened only one day, so its not a holiday you could "choose a date" for.
