Oh, and I am polite to missionaries that show up at my door as well.  THEY feel that they are doing something good.  Who am I to argue?

     I might see if we can pull off some sort of freaky fertility rite this afternoon, though.

     One hint for those who like to engage the missionaries is to ask them to tell you the origin of the word Easter.  (Baptists will make up the most outrageous stories).

i am too laid back to worry about stuff like this. It is Easter. It is a fact. I do not care what religion you are, today is Easter. You may not celebrate it, but that does not change the fact that it is Easter.

If they say Happy Easter, Merry Xmas, whatever,  I say Thanks, you too.  If I know someone is of another religion, I might wish them a pleasant holiday of their own.  I just don't have it in me to be offended if someone offers me a happy, a blessed, a peaceful, a whatever that is a nice thing.  I just spread the happy thoughts.

I say Happy Easter back.  It's my holiday and it's obviously their holiday.  If somebody honestly gets offended because I wish them a happy holiday, then they really need to step back and reevaluate their life.  If somebody wishes me happy "insert non-Christian holiday here", I'd say thank you and I'd really mean it.  I wouldn't get all offended, nor would I act like a jackass and try to minimize their holiday by trying to prove how "intellectual" and "cultured" I am.

Happy Easter to everyone!

Dammit, i missed another oppertunity to play with dye.  (but that option wasn't listed)

Right now, we're having thunderstorms, and i feel bad for all those little UMs. i'm personally ammused by the holiday, but i still like it because its so cute.
One year i dyed eggs just because, then Master got the idea that He and i would sneak into a church yard and hid all 3 dozen eggs. We did. Fun Stuff!!!

Status: offline 		well, I'm an agnostic, but don't have any problem with any religious holoday....well, other than the over-commercialism that seems to go with them.....I must have been wished happy easter by about a dozen people the past two days...my response?  "You too", or I actually said "have a good easter".  Didn't cost me a thing, and I did mean it.

Now...where's my chocolate?????

But it's funny, half the post seder conversation was about rabbit recipes. We all agreed that despite reading recipes to the contrary, we aren't ever going to do southern fried rabbit. Sticking to braising here.

You did all the work for me, so nothing left to say, other than "Thank you" for bringing all the quotes together.
