Whipping of the Easter Bunny in the name of Jesus

I suppose that the pastor or whoever came up with this hare-brained scheme is now regretting putting all his creative eggs in that particular basket and is already whipping up another passionate scheme to prop up flailing church attendence numbers.

The sooner someone has the guts to separate Christian and Pagan festivals the better. This whole Christmas v Santa Claus, Easter v Ressurection fudge is because someone tried to graft Christianity on top of Pagan festivals to widen its appeal.

Celebrate Christ's birth sometime else in the year (we can make a better guess than December 25th!), and remove the word Easter ( pagan origins) and call it Ressurection Sunday.

What I'm celebrating this weekend has nothing to do with fluffy bunnies - which are best left to a celebration of spring.

What, and have Christianity start losing even more appeal? The Ultimate Blasphemy!

Well according to the media over here, Christianity has little to offer the world, because the people who follow that way of life are amongst the seriously uncool.

Mega rich actress spending fortune on new house, new personal trainer, new boyfriend and designer clothes is epitomy of style and someone worth half a newspaper's coverage.

Mega rich pop star who tithes and spends their free time in a soup kitchen in south London dishing up meals overnight to the homeless is somehow a bit weird and written about in a condescending manner.

I know. I swear I have wanted to add this to the bottom of the last 20 posts I've made, but didn't want to sound like a broken record. Maybe I'll make it my sig and be done with it.

And yet I don't believe that the world doesn't really get particularly better or worse through the ages, so maybe thinking 'WTWCT' at every turn is just a part of growing up. Shedding off idealism etc.

But what you've just mentioned about the press deserves a 'Murrow is turning over in his grave' lament, too, for good measure.

What do you mean? THERE IS NO EASTER BUNNY????!!!!???

I have seen the Easter bunny, I know the Easter bunny, those performers aren't getting any eggs or choco stuff this year!

Poor little bunny..........

what next? Making Santa into a pinata? Harpooning a cupid? Lynching a leprechaun? Kicking Jerry Lewis outta an airplane w/out a parachute on Labor Day? (Come to think of it, that's not actually a bad idea)

Man, these religious folk are freakin' out badly to pick on a poor defenseless wabbit ("Be verwy, verwy quiet...We beating a wabbit...Huhuhuhuhuhuh"...or as I say "Be verwy, verwy quiet...We huntin' WMD...Huhuhuhuhuhuh").

It's bad enuff to beat a wabbit but at least they're nowhere as anal as the numbnuts in this hellhole town who closed public school today in honor of Easter (Easter as a school holiday? S--t, I never got as many days off from school as these wimpy assed youth of today do.)

Schools in the UK get 2 weeks holiday over Easter, and Good Friday and Easter Monday are Public Holidays. We don't however get as long as the US schools in summer, so, overall it evens out over the course of 12 months.

I never had a long summer vacation from school, My hometown's public (Muskogee, OK) school's ended in Mid June and started back up at the beginning of August...Not alot of time to run your own business during the vacation.

Some people get hopped up on religion like Fleetwood Mac used to get hopped up on coke.

Scientists have calculated that he was actually born sometime in May or June of 3 AD.

Now, chili, don't be silly... science has no place in religion.
