Is Easter being hijacked?

[NZamba Legend]

I see that many so-called Christians are now trying to claim that Easter is something to do with the death of Jesus. In Britain we have known for years that the true meaning of Easter is about scoffing hot cross buns and chocolate eggs. First they take over Christmas, now Easter- where will it stop? What's more the BBC is pandering to these minorities by giving them air time and screening some play called the Preston Passion where Jesus gets killed in Preston High Street. I'm worried the violent nature of this programme will put my kids off their Happy Meal. It's PC gone mad!

Sod the religious lot - £8 for one Easter egg in my local Asda! ****ing Cadbury/Nestle/Take-Your-Bloody-Pick, ripping everyone off!

I agree . This is a time of remembering the delicious nature of choclate and the fornication of mammals of all sizes .
As well as Odin hanging from the world tree.

Shame .

[Smudger]

Agreed. Let's hope Father Christmas hears your words and removes presents from all of them.

Gone to the wrong place I bought about 6 Easter Eggs for £10 from Tesco's and they weren't small or cheap one's either.

Satire is alive and well. Who needs all that sex and violence in the Bible when you can get it on tv?
Like all minorities in the UK, as a Christian I see it as my responsibility to undermine and eventually destroy the British way of life.:raspberry:
Cover your ears and close your eyes .... today is the day billions all over the earth celebrate that ''God so loved the world that He sent His only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life".

To be nailed to a cross , suffer for made up sins which he has no real right or abaility to take from others :P

I will leave it in your capable (?) hands to persuade God of His lack of imagination when the time comes though myself as someone of limited intellectual ability/time to trawl the internet for wacky theories (depending on your point of view) I merely offer the following observation:
Worldwide followers today:
Jesus - somewhere between 1 billion and 2 billion
Odin - not many
Osiris - not many
Dionysis - not many
