@...wookie_x: AFAIK there is no Christian connection. I think it was a pagan-type fertility ritual, but I get the feeling you already knew that though. 😉
@...wookie_x: And while they’re at it, they should explain the whole Jesus/Pine tree thing. That’s had me mystified since I was 9. It’s the Middle East, people! There are no pine trees!
@...wookie_x:
It’s not a matter of Easter being disrespected. It has no christian connection. It’s a matter of some yokel decided he’d depict Jesus crapping an Egg so he can score some lulz.
And Lo! All the like-minded cretins come out the woodwork.

Seeing how christ (purportedly) died on 0AD and he was (purportedly) 33 at the time, that would mean he was born on 33BC.
Then again, there was an adjustment in the middle ages to synchronize Europe’s calendars which set them all back 4 years so jesus was probably born in 37BC and died in 4BC.
Also, Christ’s story is copied word-for-word from Osiris, and Easter was already a Jewish and Pagan holiday before christ died and was resurrected, by total coincidence, during its celebration (which no one seems to be observing, in the bible).
@...Dragunov:
christ BORN on 0AD (7–2 BC/BCE – 26–36 AD/CE). I can tell it by the pixel that our unwelcome guest (the pope) bleeds from the eyes every sunday morning on the national channel.
Didn’t the original spring festival celebrate the harvest? Didn’t the original pagan stuff celebrate farming=food? Cus after everyone was hunter/gatherers they sat on their ass and planted shit. The good ol days before the industrial age yo.
In before the political correctness honkers
Out before the stupid atheists who think they’re funny…
crap too late.
Oh c’mon, this is funny…and true.
I’m not atheist and this is some funny shit.
@...bstaples: When you can give me a solid Christian origin for Easter eggs and bunnies, THEN you can whine about atheist jokes.
@wookie_x
Well its obvious isnt it, The Eggs symbolizes the rebirth of christ/man kind, and the Rabbit symbolizes its innocents.
NA! i am just bull shittin’ you

There are more atheist in the world than Jews. Can anyone of the Religious people tell me when Jesus was born? (waiting for all the wrong answers)
@...LeeHarveyOswald: If I remember correctly its 34 B.C. but I’m not positive.
or 4 B.C.
haha, he was my neighbors imaginary friend for a while
let the false idol crap out eggs
My Lord Odin craps out thunder and lightning
hahaha this is funny
Jesus would think this is funny… you are forgiven.
@wookie_x:
The Wikipedia Scolar presents you with the origin…en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Bunny

The spring festival was for shagging. Making it about the death of some dude is depressing.

SHAGGING!
O.o
Why is the pope rubbing an Egg against Jesus’ butt?
@...Adrian: He’s laying it. Learn to easter.
Didn’t the original spring festival celebrate the harvest? Didn’t the original pagan stuff celebrate farming=food? Cus after everyone was hunter/gatherers they sat on their ass and planted shit. The good ol days before the industrial age yo.
@...Pants: I was told the Easter Bunny would lay the eggs. You shattered my illusion now!
@...Puulaahi: in European countries you don’t get to harvest at Easter, but it probably did have something to do with fertility.
Is this what Christians actually believe?
