Re: Happy Easter fellow Atheists!

Any Holiday excuse to eat chocolate is fine by me

You forgot "Happy Passover"
Lots of good foods to eat with that.

Some people here will take issue with you over that.
They seem at times to be a great big bunch of bacon eaters.

I wish I still had the weekly flyer/program, but it said [almost?] verbatim "My sheep can hear me - Jesus."

That sounds like John 10:27-28 to me.

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:

And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Though that chapter of John is replete with references to the followers of Jesus as sheep. It's meant to be a good thing, while on the other hand (apparently literally) in Matthew chapter 25 it's a very bad thing to be amongst the goats. The sheep (on the right hand) will inherit the kingdom, while the goats (on the left hand) will depart into everlasting fire. There are only sheep and goats, don't you know.

Some people will, but not I. Having enjoyed some particularly fine Seder dinners, I concur with Anne.

Poor goats.   

I used to ask my mom about why people eat lamb on Easter.

Her response always was along the lines that we are Jesus' flock.  And Jesus was the Lamb of God.

To which my response always was, "So we're supposed to be cannibals?  Got it!"

To be fair, I was baiting her, but she knew me enough to expect me to question.  She was a questioner herself.

Well, think about communion. That's symbolic cannibalism!!! We are definitely supposed to eat Jesus. It just makes sense.

Starving for His love! (which, incidentally, lacks essential nutrients)

Although I guess that depends how you define Jesus' 'love' and just how smutty you want to be. Jesus could probably feed at least 5000 with just his highly nutritious man milk...

Would there be money in chocholate Jesus?
Has someone already done this?

This just cracks me up; my favorite is the bunny shitting the Easter eggs that a brand new little jesus hatches out of.
