It's also about spending lots of money to look overdressed, going to church though you only go twice a year, and making sure everyone there knows you are better than them. When I was a fundy I avoided Easter service for this reason. I don't envy you Doubting Thomas. Chocolate, eggs, and pink bunnies on the other hand are fun.
I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise
