Next Up: "The War On Easter"
I for one plan a pre-emptive strike by crucifying a stuffed-toy rabbit in the front yard.

I should send pictures to O'Falafel! "No such thing as bad publicity."

2. Indeed, Group Captain
Nothing says "Christ is Risen" quite like a large pink bunny....

"I don't have to compromise my principles; they don't make any difference to what happens to me anyway."

3. I'm way ahead of you
When I was in high school the teacher I had for 9th and 12th grade English looked very much like a rabbit with her upturned nose and buck teeth. She also was quite unpleasant, making the students dislike her to no end. Accordingly my friends and I made a paper effigy of her, a cutout of a rabbit, and burned it on a Popsicle stick one day during study hall (which happened to be outdoors at the time).

So in a way, we already killed the Easter Bunny.

4. I guess I'm just reeeeeaaaaalllllllly bitter
I just had a Christmas taken from me. And not just any Christmas. The Christmas my son said was the "best ever." My pre-teen daughter had a landmark Christmas, too. And our littlest fairly vibrated.

And just like a switch had been flipped, bang! Not a word about the war on Christmas. Bastards!

I'm used to being abused commercially. Emotionally is another thing.

The bastards won, if for no other reason than we responded to their stupidity. Never again.

But we're definitely crucifying a bunny. May surround the foot of the cross with Easter Eggs.

5. They will find something else to get themselves worked up over
It is in their nature--they have to have a "cause" to get the masses foaming at the mouth over. The fundies are incapable of just keeping to themselves and letting others be. They have to be at war with somebody over something, and if there is nothing real to exaggerate they will make something up. Give it a few weeks to a month and O'Lielly, Roberts, Falwell or Dobson will come up with something. :eyes:

6. Do you realise how many eggs we are going to round up?
Think of the chickens.

Oh, the humanity.

8. Bill Hicks on Easter
I've been traveling a lot lately. I was over in Australia during Easter. It was interesting to note they celebrate Easter the same way we do; commemorating the death and resurrection of Jesus by telling our children a GIANT BUNNY RABBIT... left chocolate eggs in the night.

Now, I wonder why we're fucked up as a race?

Where do you get this shit from? Why those two things? Why not "Goldfish left LINCOLN LOGS in your sock drawer"? As long as we're making shit up, go hog wild. At least a goldfish with a Lincoln Log on its back crawling across your floor to your sock drawer has a miraculous connotation to it!

(young boy's voice) "Look mummy, i woke up today and there was a Lincoln Log in me sock drawer!"
(mother) "That's the story of JESUS!

Who comes up with this shit? I've read the Bible, I can't find the words "bunny" or "chocolate" anywhere in that fucking book. Do you all have different books of the bible than I do?

- Rant in E-Minor

------------------

I think it's interesting how people act on their beliefs. A lot of Christians, for instance, wear crosses around their necks. Nice sentiment, but do you think that when Jesus comes back, he ís really going to want to look at a cross? Ow. Maybe that's why he hasn't shown up yet.

(as Jesus) I'm not going, Dad, no, they're still wearing crosses - they totally missed the point. When they start wearing fishes, I might go back again ... no, I'm not going ... OK, I'll tell you what - I'll go back as a bunny ...
