(And Christians want to be taken seriously...)?

theres no need for rudeness.....EVERYONE KNOWS that the pagans had a spring festival which was used to convert them to Christianity....im not bothered by bnnies and eggs....are you?? HOW OFTEN DO YOU GO TO GOOD FRIDAY....dont judge others...

Good point!

But Christians never celebrate Easter as a celebration of the Easter bunny and chocolate eggs. This is a cultural thing. You could look up 'easter' in wikipedia to see where all the traditions came form. For example, the Christians in Indonesia dont celebrate with eggs and chocolate at all!

Please dont let great promotional campaigns by Cadbury and Hersheys influence your view of Easter and Christianity.

This is a legitimate question. Here's the answer.

Christ's Resurrection is Biblical.

The Easter bunny and eggs is cultural.

The two are unrelated.

That's why you can choose to celebrate one, both, or none.

Happy Easter!

hahaha Christianity and the Easter bunny have nothing to do with each other... The Greeks or Romans, (I can't remember which) started worshipping the god of fertility on Easter, (which is a woman-bunny thing) and pretty much made a sham of Easter in the eyes of God and Christians, and that is why bunnies and all that are part of the celebration on Easter. Something like this pretty much happens to all Christian holidays it seems like (Santa Claus). Do some research before you go around making a fool of yourself next time.

Pagan worship!

Yep! It looks like a pagan scribe just Dropped that word there. The word looks out of place. You see how the emphasis is more on the word easter than on the "Days of Unleavened Bread'.

Acts 12:3-4.

This is why God insist that we Study His Word. All of it is not to be taken seriously. Especially what is done by traditions outside of God's authority.

II Timothy 2:15. God approves your study by the truth you seek.

Seriously?? Easter, like Christmas, has been Americanized- it's true meaning, forgotten. People wanted another universal holiday, but true Christians recognize the significance of Easter. God was resurrected on this day, and it is a very important day in the hearts of Christians, in spite of the dishonor put upon it by American society.

(And YOU want to be taken seriously...)?

I'm not a YOU person, Easter is supposedly the celebration of a rabbit that hides funny colored eggs for children> Where the Hell do you get Christ's Ressurection .(And YOU want to be taken seriously...)

Aristotle calls your childish logic error the Fallacy of Emphasis. I think it is in his Sophistical Refutations.

How dare you.

Just because Easter is a commercialized candy eating day of rabbit worship doesn't mean the day is lacking in an seriousness.

Same goes for Christmas. I mean sure, the most prominent figure is Santa, and it's devolved into an exercise in crass commercialism, but the core is really serious.

How dare you assume something isn't serious just because all outward appearances indicate it? What's next, you are going to question the validity of the most holy day of all, Halloween? Oh I bet that one's all about candy too, huh non-believer?

You're barking up the wrong tree there, my friend. That's society's take on Easter; people of other faiths or no faiths want to celebrate it to, so the bumped out Christ and put in a bunny.

the rabbit and the eggs have nothing to do with christianity, The rabbit and eggs are symbols of Pagan "gods" they symbolize fertility and have over the years taken over the meaning of easter.

Your incomplete supposedly a question can't be taken seriously. Read a book or look it up on the internet! Start by looking up Hell first! LOL

Praying 4 ya!
