Bunnies and Easter Eggs are a pagan fertility symbol and have no place in Easter Celebrations which are centered around the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
10:38 - I would guess then that you don't believe in Santa Claus. I am a Christian and have no problem with the Easter Bunny or colored eggs, so -
lighten up Francis.
The egg is a symbol of new life and birth. It's probably the most perfect symbol of Easter. And, dufus, you'd probably Egg-Spect the Egg Marketing Board to have an Egg coloring page, now, wouldn't you?
Guess you've never heard of Mary Magdalene and the red egg, either?
Go back to snake handling, but watch out. Those heathens lay eggs, too.
Does the ag commisioner actually do any work.
Good Lord.
The Ag commissioner announced a simple program that will bring joy to some of our children.
(And others try to make it a religious issue) ??
Unbelievable !
Hey 10:38, tell us how you feel about Halloween. Please..... jeff
This group of Karens can't recognize an anti-Christian troll bottom fishing to sucker people into attacking the post.
Geez, P.T. Barnam would make a fortune marketing to this bunch.
