Seriously? There is a "war on Easter"?

The annual Fox celebration of the War on Christmas has gone so well that Fox News host Sean Hannity has now decided to complement it with a War on Easter.

His evidence for such a war? Lady Gaga’s deliberately provocative single “Judas” and some remarks by British comedian Ricky Gervais suggesting that many Christians are only looking for a ticket to Heaven.

“It seems that there is a double standard as it relates to Christianity,” Hannity objected. One guest, trial attorney Jennifer Smetters, responded by complaining about the “moral decay of our society,” while the other, legal analyst Mercedes Colwin, suggested more mildly, “This is all about dollars. It has nothing to do with Christianity.”

This is getting beyond ridiculous.

1. Where can I sign up?!

:shrug: ;-)

[backscatter712]

5. I was about to ask the same question!

:evilgrin:

[SoCalNative]

13. +1

[no_hypocrisy]

2. It all started when someone demanded to see Jesus's birth certificate and death certificate.

[JoePhilly]

4. And because no one can remember him between the age of 3 to 33!!

Just what is he hiding???

[Proud Liberal Dem]

7. LOL

There is actually a gospel, however, that was written that covers some of that time period but, of course, it was never included in the Bible, so it's not considered Canon.

[bluestateguy]

12. Which one?

I'd like to read it.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

21. I think it was called the Gospel of Thomas (don't know who that was)

If I remember it correctly, I think it had a more whimsical tone and made Jesus to be kind of a troublemaker. Probably the reason(s) that it was left out of the final copy. ;-) Don't know where you might be able to find a copy but I'm sure it's around.......somewhere (probably the same location as President Obama's Kenyan Birth Certificate ;-))

[3waygeek]

33. In some traditions,

Thomas was Jesus' twin brother. Which would probably account for the tone -- that would be one hell of a case of sibling rivalry.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

41. Yup

I imagine so! LOL

[HillWilliam]

42. Here ya go

My go-to place.

[JoePhilly]

14. .... even more evidence of the cover up!!!!

[freshwest]

29. Absolutely! Shocking!

[Rocknrule]

6. Well, what kind of a white Caucasian Murkan name is "Jesus"

And he's dark-skinned, so he's clearly a secret Muslim! And everyone knows the H in "Jesus H. Christ" stands for Hussein!

[RKP5637]

16. Yep, and then found out he was undocumented! What a bummer! n/t

[JoePhilly]

17. Could also be because Paul, Mark, Luke and Matthew could not agree on the details

of the resurrection.

Which creates the wiggle room necessary to slip in a Bunny, lots of candy, and some colored eggs.

[CTyankee]

25. and his circumcision certificate!

[no_hypocrisy]

26. LOL!

[freshwest]

31. The whole controversy in a nutshell.

[grillo7]

36. Better get Donald Trump's men to Bethlehem to sort that out... n/t

[eridani]

54. Jesus Hussein Christ?

[MineralMan]

3. The only war I have noticed on Easter is the war for the choicest

piece of ham. :shrug:

[RKP5637]

40. +1, n/t

[Warren Stupidity]

8. I'm opposed to zombies in general.

Who's with me?

[bluestateguy]

9. There is nothing about bunny rabbits and eggs in Easter

That's just all made up commercialization, and I don't think Jesus Christ would approve.

[winston65]

34. Pagans

These 'christians' crack me up. Every Christmas and every Easter they start dragging out all the ancient pagan symbols. But say the word pagan to them and they'll call you a disciple of Satan. There aint no easter bunnies and christmas trees in the Gospels of Jesus.

[Mist]

10. Another conservbot looking for something to get self-righteously pissed off

over. Give it a rest. Or take it up with candy manufacturers who have made Easter the day of peeps and chocolate eggs.

[undeterred]

11. Its the Vegans vs. the Christians

Plastic eggs are OK.

:hide:

[freshwest]

28. Hum, that feeds into the abortion debate. Unborn chickens are chickens, too.

[mrcheerful]

15. Actually there is a war on Easter as we celebrate it but it isn't coming from liberals its coming fr

from some fundie religions who are anti Easter bunny anti Easter egg, because those are pagan symbols.

[freshwest]

30. That's true. Did Inshannity mention that?

[jwirr]

18. Yes, the easter bunny is tired of all those kids stealing her eggs. nt

[The Wizard]

19. Read all about it here

http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0404/easter.html

[dixiegrrrrl]

20. Damn. Now we will have another "humanitarian Freedom bombing ".

With eggs, perhaps.

[Webster Green]

22. If GaGa is leading the charge, count me in!

I'll follow her anywhere. :loveya:

[ladywnch]

23. like all good republican/teabagger types, they are only concerned with births

not deaths so you can imagine how uninterested they are in resurrections. And since on one is interested in ressurections there clearly is no reason to have war over it. See, it all makes perfect sense when you just stop to think these things through.

:crazy: :evilgrin:

[QED]

24. Can't be - who could do without Snickers Easter Eggs?

Or a big Reese's Peanut Butter Egg for that matter?

[upi402]

27. egg-zactly!

had to do it

[JackBeck]

32. The oppressor is now the victim?

Unbelievable.

[BlueJazz]

35. Fox News makes Bunny Cry.

[Tesha]

37. I don't know if there's a War on Easter, but we're gonna murder a few Peeps later.

Bite their heads off and eat the carcasses!

Tesha

[Solly Mack]

38. Peeps are a crime against nature.

because it had to be said....

[annabanana]

49. but peep S'MORES ..wow!

Go ahead Solly, you know you want to...

[Solly Mack]

52. I have a confession

I don't like S'Mores. Don't tell anyone.







:)

[Fearless]

39. We as a nation declare war on everything

That we don't want to actually do anything with or about... Drugs, Crime, Cancer, Terrorism, etc. This is a values issue. The old fundies are afraid that their way of life is disappearing. And it is as new people come in with their own ideas. It's supposed to happen. Of course, they are still kicking and screaming.

[L0oniX]

43. Let's just come clean on this celebration. This is a celebration of Ishtar...

the fertilization goddess which is the origination of the bunnies and eggs. They represent fertilization. Now WTF does that have to do with anything related to easter? Easter is the translation of Ishtar. WTF does that have anything to do with Jesus? This is nothing but pure idiotic brainless nonsense. Go ahead and keep buying the shit that's marketed to you and foist it on your children too.

[Lost-in-FL]

44. Ya'll crack me up (no pun intended)!!

I am laughing my guts off reading all of these replies. :rofl: :spray:

[Wounded Bear]

45. So that explains the "wandering date" that they celebrate Easter on...

It's a stealth method of hiding when it will happen so the enemy can't plan their assaults.

:evilgrin:

[ladyVet]

46. Damn!

As usual, I'm a day late and an anti-Christian campaign short. :evilfrown:




:::scurries off the look for obviously missed communique from headquarters...:::

[Renew Deal]

47. There's no war on Easter.

Lady Gaga is a pretty serious Catholic from what I've heard. And Ricky Gervais is a comedian.

[annabanana]

48. killer bunny rabbit. . . .n/t

[Terra Alta]

50. Sean Hannity's spewings make baby Jesus cry.

Or, should that be, makes resurrected Jesus cry?

[seabeyond]

51. i just had two 18 yr olds, 16 yr old, and 13 yr old go out easter egg hunting. was a blast.

no war here. only love and laughter.

[deacon]

53. Hannity, Rush, all of Fox have become passe'- vaudeville is gone fellahs- find a new act. n/t
