Happy Easter G+G 🐣

Happy Resurrection of Christ, Kings.

@FallenOMegaStar, the devil wants people to stray away from God any way it can.

So any chance to hide, disclaim, etc. the messiah, God’s Son, the devil will do it.

They no longer say morning prayer to God in schools.

They removed Christ’s name from Christmas, and it is no longer allowed in alot of places to even say MERRY CHRISTMAS.

The celebration of Christ’s Birth is now a celebration of materialism (which is the opposite message from what Jesus Christ was saying) and replaced the central figure of Christmas (Christ) with santa claus (who is a corrupt version of Saint Nicholas).

With Easter, the devil wants people to not celebrate or even acknowledge Christ’s resurrection, but chocolates and bunnies and colored eggs.

The devil wants religion replaced with secularism and getting people away from God.

@Legatus I was being rhetorical.

Eggs have long been a part of Christian tradition for many centuries as they symbolized Christ’s rebirth; they weren’t eaten, but collected as gifts or decoration (and the imagery of rabbits came from faiths that predated Christianity (i.e. paganism) – but both are supposed to represent fertility and the beginning of new life at the dawn of Spring). Bringing chocolate into the holiday began somewhere in the late 19th century to early 1900’s, right around when chocolate-making techniques were improving, and they they would obviously make for more appealing gifts to children (chocolate Easter eggs already existed in France and Germany, though they were hard and bitter; it was John Cadbury of Britain who first introduced the modern chocolate egg in 1875, I think).

This was at a time when Western societies were still very conservative (before WWII changed everything), and yes, still very Christian; when efforts to try and implement Communism backfired massively and only ever succeeded in Russia.

So do corporations and governments of today have every vested interest in moving people away from their Christian roots? Of course they do. But unless I’ve misread you, suggesting they conjectured these symbols on their own is false and misleading.

I get what you’re trying to say but this is immediately going from Point A to Point Z in a heartbeat, without regard for the optics. There is no self-evident connection between a cute chocolate bunny and Satan, and trying to make one just makes people take religion less seriously.

@DigiCat Rabbits may be horny little buggers, but they’re still not as horny as British people online.

Happy Easter once again!
