I wish people would think first!

I've been thinking about getting a rabbit or two. Maybe I'll go check CL. I've been itching for some stew.

Your bad

If you want to be super-technical, Christians took over a pagan holiday. Ostara (or Eostre) (I think I'm spelling her name right) is a Norse fertility/Spring goddess whose symbols were the hare and the egg...it's a Spring thing. However, most modern people don't know anything about her and go with the Christian take-over meaning, even though the original pagan symbols still pervade the holiday. So...bunnies do have to do with the original celebration. But have nothing to do with the Christian celebration, which instead focuses on the death/resurrection of Christ.

When Christians were converting people, we liked to take over their traditional holidays and sort of morph them--it made conversion easier.

Hmm thats neat to know thanks

I'm still trying to figure out how a rabbit poops out foil covered chocolate eggs and what exactly that has to do with pretty much anything!

They eat some aluminum foil first then go to the bathroom

Oooh, time to stock the freezer with Lourdes chow!

LMAO

But Joe, bunnies don't lay eggs, chocolate or otherwise. See my granny told me years ago that Mr. Daddy Bunny meets Mrs. Mommy Bunny and they go into the cabbage patch and.....well she never got around to telling me the rest of it. Hmmm, this may explain why I have four kids.

Anyways, there was no darn egg laying going on! I'm pretty sure of that!

[littleindiangirl]

yet when you tell them that many of their "Christian" holidays originated as Pagan, they completely deny it.

LOL, that made me laugh to be honest, I was never taught that any of our holidays were purely with out pagan influence. Must just be us rebel Lutherans that teach that huh?

Look at all the torture our parents put us thru .They made us think rabbits clucked and fairies took our teeth.Then to top of everything they made us believe in a weirdo in a red suit cam down our chimeneys .News flash we never had a chimeney

Ding Ding Ding! There were about 12--15 different pagan religions all with the same characteristics as Christianity. Christianity merely copied other religions with the holidays.

Youtube the word Zietgiest.

I watched the video. It's very interesting how so many religions/belifs have so much in common, yet so many people willingly remain ignorant about it.

I didn't have a chimney growing up either, so my parents told me he used the front door. LOL

Also, one time I caught my dad putting presents under the tree wearing a santa suit, and I ran up to him and started talking to him. Then I noticed he had the same glasses as my dad, and he told me that they shop at the same place. Then I asked why he had the same ring as my dad (it was a class ring), and he told me they went to the same school. She I told all of my friends that my dad went to school with santa.
