The incredible irony of this particular campaign of hate is that the easter bunny is a pagan fertility symbol which ahs nothing at all to do with the christian narrative of easter. You'd think they'd be more keen to try and "rediscover" its pagan past than simply ban it.

OT: Moonbat Donk Congressman Confronted by Moonbat Peaceniks, Loses it.

i'm with you, archonix - it is pagan and christians should be the ones picking up the mantle on this one instead of those who are just offended by it.

as christians, we stopped the entire "easter" tradition a few years ago when we realized the implications of it in the bible - the whole sunrise, bowing to the east thing is just too creepy.

we now call it resurrection sunday and remember why it had to be. giving thanks to the Father who sent Yeshua to die for the sins of mankind. am i being too legal? we cannot afford to not be when it comes to the Savior.

make you no idols.

p.s. - i AM NOT on the side of these moonbats, however.

We have called it Resurrection Sunday from 1988 in protest of the Baal, Moloch, Ishtar triangle! No painted eggs either. Oh BTW, we don't do "trees" either, Jesus was born in the fall around the Feast of Tabernacles, so HE has nothing to do with Saturnalia. So they can celebrate Ishtar and Saturnalia all they want, because they aren't Christian!
Separation from the world and it's ways.

I applaud the sentiment, but I'm not able to live up to such high ideals myself, mostly because abandoning the paraphenalia of christmas would alienate a large portion of my family at a time when they need drawing closer to the fold.

And, as you may have noticed in my comments around this site, I often fail to live up to the example set for us. Thank god for grace, that's all I can say...

The day I give up Easter is the day they pry that bag of those little chocolate eggs filled with delicious peanut butter from my cold... dead.... hands!

I thought Larry King already confirmed that it's the end of the Easter bunny, with the revealtion that James Cameron discovered Jesus' tomb!

archonix - so you'd rather appeal to the masses than be biblically correct? wonder how THAT'S going to sound at that great and terrible day of the Lord (there's only one, you know)...

I would rather get my hands dirty drawing my family to the lord than keep them clean and lose any chance of them coming with me. Which do you think God would look more favourably upon?

those who are truthful.

whit HIS word, of course. i meant no disrespect for your tactics, archonix.

I shall not mourn the passing of the bunny, for I know that He is Risen.

LOL, joey buz.

I agree with those who think Christians should take this as a positive. We already have changed Halloween parties to "Harvest Festivals" around here. Taking back the holidays, that's what I'm talking about! ;-)

The Left is at war with Western Civilization, not with Christianity per se. Moonbats are taking up arms against the Easter bunny as part of the death of a thousand cuts they're engineering against the West, not because they particularly care about a symbol that has nothing to do with genuine Christian belief or practice. Nobody wants to thwart the totalitarians of the Left more than I do, but hysteria and persecution complexes are a good way to discredit our side of the debate.

I never assumed otherwise, and please forgive the tone of my last message. It looks a little harsh in the cold light of this morning.

Considering that most Christian holidays were converted from Germanic (Goth, Vandal, Frank, Saxon et al) holidays (even apparently the Easter Bunny), I must say I agree with NixonNinja. Its not about Christianity per se, its about Western Civilization. They kill the Easter Bunny and we lose a tradition we've had for hundreds of years. As many of us are the descendants of the Germanic peoples that absorbed the society of the old Western Roman Empire, we should be worried.

I hate to say it, but doing away with the Easter Bunny is as about Stalinistic a tactic as I can imagine. Some people may not agree with that, but I think the comparison is apt. Although I don't believe in Hell, I must say if I did, I would hope there would be some place set aside for the scum that have consistently eroded our traditions.
