Easter Bunny Witch Hunt

I just heard this story upon the news that some city out here wants to abolish the Easter Bunny from thier city and not let the Easter Bunny come into the city for Easter and the reason is, because the Easter Bunny is not something that came from the chruch and is not really a part of the whole Reserection thing that the Christians celebrate during Easter, becasue they guy who is complaining about it is like a presbotererian or some other sect of Chrisatinaty that starts with a p I cannot remeber exzactly which one, but the thing that is so amusing about this, is that, if that is the case, then they really have no bussiness calling it Easter at all, and it does rather amuse me that they are stupid they still do call it Easter, completely clueless to just what that means.

The word Easter derives from Eostre the great mother Goddess of the Saxons with whom the original festival of Easter was held to honor, as well, according to this logic it should also mean that Christain Chrilidren should have no part in decorating and hunting after easter eggs begins just like the Easter Bunny Easter Eggs came from Ostara who was the Norse equvivalent to Eostre

So why pick and choose? If you want to get rid of the Easter Bunny, then to really be true to your beleif and not by a hypocrite, why don't you just give the entier holliday of Easter back to the Pagans, and stop celebrating it all togheter, because I can quite assure, everything you do for Easter, inculding its very namesake was Pagan first, before your hostile take over, so do not think you can now just pick and choose what elements you are going to throw out becasue it does not suit you.

G'day Silverwind.

Like you I am totally fed up with these bigoted, hypocritical... Thought police, The Easter egg is associated with new life, rebirth and fits in with my faith very well. Although some devout members of the different Christian faiths wouldn't agree with me. But you have a good point and that is before Christianity, Islam, ect...The Pagan ways were it, I think my Daughter said that the four seasons were very important religious celebrations for them. You can please correct me if I am wrong. Thought provoking post.

Right on!

Christian should be observing the Feast of Passover, which is on a fixed date on the calendar. I have always found this ridiculous: in the old testament it says exactly which feasts to observe, but instead most christians have corrupted pagan feasts, and now they're complaining we're celebrating them in the wrong way. These aren't even your feasts, hypocrites! Celebrate like the rest of us do, or observe the ones that are truly your own: the Feast of Weeks, of Tabernacles, etc.

Easter

Nicely said Dutchboy, and yes you are right Dawnie, both the solstices and equnoxies are sabbaths for Pagans, imporant celebrations that mark the ending of one phase of life and the begeining of another.
