cadbury creme jesus

[Tim_Buoy]

no sure if this belongs here or in religion but i just realized its getting close to easter. now i have been a Christian for all my life and the first thought that popped into my head when i heard that easter was close was "oh goody cadbury creme eggs are available again" and it kind of struck me as odd that that would be the first thing i associate with easter so what are your thoughts and things you associate with a holiday

I love cadbury caramel eggs! Easter has the best candy of all the holidays beating even Halloween. Honestly I cant think much beyond the candy I'm not very religous so Cadbury eggs are all I can think about.

Cadbury Creme Eggs are more delicious than Jesus. Can any Catholics here confirm that statement?

Easter is the greatest time of the year because I get loads and loads of chocolate

 

[Blueruler182]

"Fuck, family time..." But, to be fair, that's the general holiday thought.

Easter passes me by: I'm off university but otherwise there's absolutely nothing of note: I don't particularly like chocolate or whatever, and religion is negligible. Kind of a non-starter.

Why? Ostara is a fertility festival. Eggs represent new life and all that. Same thing with bunnies - they have lots of babies, so they get associated with spring fertility.

It's the same reason that you put shiny objects on a pine tree in December - because a Pope changed the date. Jesus was born in the spring/summer, not the winter, and there's no mention of when he died in the bible.

As a man raised Catholic, I confirm this statement.

It depends if the bread is storebought.

I'm protestant, but hey, I still know.

Considering every week they partake of his flesh and blood in the form of stale powdery crackers and $4 a bottle red wine...I'll agree with this statement.

I also devour the chocolate rabbit as fast as possible. I feel it is a duty.

This guy pretty much summed it up. Like just about ever other holiday that's not named after a saint (Christmas doesn't count, I don't think Jesus was ever officially made a saint), Easter wasn't originally Christian.

The day that they stop making Cadbury Creme Eggs is the day I make the world burn.

 

[WhiteRat07]

For me easter is about how santa claus died for our sins then came back to life three days later to go build presents at the north pole

 

[Ladette]

Peeps, but I hate the taste of them. Easter is a pretty boring holiday for me.

I was going to nay-say but you know what? The quality of the Cadbury eggs beat out the quantity of all Halloween candy: name brand or otherwise. I need to stop by the drug store and buy a few dozen eggs.

And a fair few that are named after a saint.

For me, easter is about hot cross buns. If you really care about the religion, the date doesn't really matter. If you don't care, then it really doesn't matter.
