My Easter Post

I wasn't going to write an Easter post this year out of respect for the dog collar wearing partner of this blog because I know he posts my religio bashing posts with a wince and because Easter is pretty much the only Religious Holiday they have left.
Although it wasn't theirs to start with, Christmas and the Baby Jesus is gone, lost to the big fat man in the North Pole and his reindeer but they have successfully fended off the Easter Bunny to keep Easter as a Christian Festival.
Interestingly, that wasn't theirs to start with either, they copied and pasted their beardy guy over the Germanic Godess Eostre who was very popular with the Anglo-Saxon pagan brigade who worshiped her as the Goddess of the dawn but the Christians lazily kept her eggs which was her symbol of fertile purity and the bunny which was her sacred animal.
I say i wasn't going to write a post and to leave the Religio's alone but then today in Town I was hassled by some many Churchy people trying to engage me in discussions about God and hand me leaflets that if i could have reverse engineered all the paper thrust at me i could have made a tree but i politely shook my head said: 'No Thank You' and continued on my way.
If this was just this weekend i could accept it but the Religious do seem keen to stop strangers and force their beliefs on shoppers going about their own business which it quite rude, i wouldn't dream of stopping anyone and pushing my Atheism down their throat but they don't seem to have any qualms about it and I do sometimes question them on their beliefs and why they hold them if they are particularly badgering which usually ends with them ignoring me and waffling on about something or other they have prepared ready and then walking off when i refuse to accept it and delve into why they believe what they do.
Anyway, Happy/Merry Easter if that is your bent and hope you didn't eat too much Chocolate.
