toldailytopic: Colored eggs, and chocolate bunnies: are they sinful?

[JoeyArnold]

"Very Easter Narnia Bunnies" are like ninja Robin Hood people who steal from the rich to give to the poor. Is that sinful? Jesus died, went into Hades, stole from the evil witch doctors, & came back to give the untold treasure island to the poor in spirit.

So it's just trying to "pass" then. lain:

Yes, mostly in the form of macadamia nut cookies.

Though I honestly have no problem with children hunting for eggs and eating chocolate bunnies, it is interesting to note the orgin of the popular tradition.

Easter and Ishtar

These days, very few people know why we celebrate the way we do. Some people who have done their homework and researched the orgins of the holidays say it's wrong for us to hunt eggs and eat chocolate rabbits at Easter. My own parents adopted this idea, but if we criticize those who are innocently trying to make Easter, the day of our Lord's ressurection, a fun day for their kids, we can become overbearing.

There are too many obvious sins out there for us to take a stand against. If we continue to add to the list, we are in danger of becoming legalistic.

I block more punches than I throw

Meaningless. If you block one and throw none, that's true, and you still lose in a landslide.

Not from my side of it. I'm strictly a counter puncher. So if you're holding your arms up on my account you've asked for it.

I think you need to be hit
and
won't pass up any opportunities to do so

 

[Nick M]

I eat about 5 boiled eggs at breakfast. Sometimes 6 if there isn't bacon.

I'll add it to the list of things you misapprehend about me. By the way, that's a neat bit of soft shoe coming from someone who goes out of his way to offer insult by that particular inference. But to each his own.

:e4e:

 

[Breathe]

At this moment, I am eating a chocolate Easter egg. Without a doubt, anything this good must be a sin.

Only if you devil the eggs and smother the Bunnies in cream. :rotfl:

I love deviled eggs

If only...the distinction between that claim and the real thing is found in examination and illustration. Neither of those tend to be a part of your practice where my criticism was aimed.

By way of illustration:

I think you need to be hit
and
won't pass up any opportunities to do so

That's just self serving hooey, a conclusion in need of support and absent fact. And you do a great deal of this while finger pointing. Now I've had my fill of it and intend on whacking you a good bit with the old stick.

I'll bet that some of you guys are like the one I've seen on TV, would paint the Easter eggs with camo paint.

I'm mostly color blind, so it's almost all camo to me. :mmph:

 

[genuineoriginal]

I don't believe in Easter, but do believe in chocolate at discounted prices the day after. :chew:

 

[ebenz47037]

But, I can imagine most men doing it so that they get more eggs because the kids can't find them. :chuckle:

 

[vegascowboy]

They always use the lowest quality chocolate that exists for those bunnies and the stuff is nasty so yeah, definately sinful.

Those days are over! Many fine chocolatiers now offer gourmet chocolate bunnies.

Here is one description of some rather exotic flavors from Vosges Chocolates:

At first glance, they may seem a little on the plain side but their secret is in the taste. These solid chocolate rabbits come in 4 exotic flavors: Red Fire Bunny is dark chocolate flavored with Mexican chilies and Ceylon cinnamon, Gianduja Bunny is milk chocolate with almonds and hazelnut praline, Barcelona Bunny is milk chocolate with smoked almonds and gray sea salt, and Almalfi Bunny is white chocolate flavored with lemon zest and pink peppercorn.

Bring on the sinful eating! :chew:
