he should have put up a picture of the skinned critter. Maybe while wearing its bloody fur for a mask. This, while brandishing a bloody machete and crazy eyes.

Oh, look!, he killed the easter bunny.

And one must wonder why the person (a Pope) who made up the 'Gregorian' calendar just happened to use so many names of pagan gods for the days of the week and the names of the months.

Because Pagan beliefs precede and are progenitor to Christianity. That one day, the months and days will have new names. New lengths, and new reasons.

Which holidays do you celebrate?

I don't celebrate any holidays. I do reap the benefits of discounts/sales during Saturnalia-Christmas though.

a-religionist and a-theist are two different ideas. Having an "egg hunt" is as stupid as having a "falafel hunt" or somesuch. It's no wonder our kids are so poorly educated, if schools believe themselves to be the arbiter of cultural traditions. Have your egg hunts at your homes and churches.

Falafel is freakin' delicious! I'd be all over that like white on rice.

The Orthodox maintained the religious names of the days. i.e. Суббота ("Sabbath") and Воскресенье ("Resurrection"). IIRC, the Universal (Catholic) Church incorporated pagan symbols, names, and customs into religious occasions in order to teach Christianity to pagans.

Easter is almost as annoying and pointless as Valentine's Day.

You never had little sisters to hide eggs for?

Evolution?

Yeah, the evolution of the church of Rome.

Kids should only be in government schools to learn.

My son shot a rabbit the other day and happened to mention it on his 'Facebook' page. People got all upset, telling him he was an awful person to be shooting rabbits this time of the year. He finally had to take down any mention of him shooting his dinner.

He should have made a video of him skinning it and serving it for dinner and posted it.

Eh, guess I should have read further........
