And I'm not irritated by the traditional Medieval greeting of "He is risen!" and the standard response of "He is risen, indeed." It happens to be appropriate.

Agreed. I just don't prefer or understand wasting so much energy convincing other believers that they need to follow certain traditions. Tradition without conviction isn't a damn thing; we've been given the freedom to follow our path, so lets let others follow theirs. One of the best situations we can hope for is others doing the same for us.
