You're wrong there. It's all about the miracle of the easter Egg.

That means the KKK can't celebrate it because all the Eggs are colored.

Isn’t that where the peeps come from?!

The lunar calendar aspect I find hysterically funny.

Jesus worshipped in a Jewish Temple, his followers align his resurrection to the Jewish calendar, but are loathe to concede His essential Jewishness.

And do we want to bring up the Day of Preparation for the Day of Preparation chronology of the Gospel according to John, or Matthew's even vaguer (yet eerily specific for those of us who remain math friendly) Ash Wednesday theory ?
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Easter is the celebration of Fertility and Spring. And giving kids chocolate, and dressing up as a bunny. (Wearing bunny ears FTW).

Easter in my home has always been about the lamb. Not the Lamb of God. I mean Roast Leg of Lamb. I continue this family tradition I learned from my Grandmother. It is the only time of the year I fork out + $40 for a section of meat. Whole leg, shoulder portion. Roasted medium rare to medium. I use a paring knife and poke 1/4 inch holes all over the leg which I stuff with garlic clove sections and sprigs of rosemary. Coarse Salt and fresh cracked black pepper. A decent Cab or Pinot Noir. Peeps or Cadbury eggs do not compare.

Same here, but I roast that leg on a rotisserie on my outdoor grill. I buy garlic in the big bag from CostCo. So good!

I also consider the crucifiction story to be torture porn.

True story- my youngest brother at about age 8 managed to get a whole package of Peeps (5? 6?) in his mouth all at one time.

If we put it in a pagan context yes.

But the intent of the Christian mythology is that his death was the savior of the world. 

In the past 100 years it has simply become a corporate marketing scam to get people to buy crap they don't need. 

The motifs of rebirth and fertility and season change far pre date Christian mythology.

The only thing the Jesus mythology really did replace animal sacrifice.

Nah, Eggs give birth to Buttons. Everybody knows that.
