~ Happy Easter Everyone ~

I never remember reporting Mel's reply. It was propably a miss click if happened. And I'm not mod baiting Argo, just stating the facts.

'Chocolate bunnies' are a perfectly fine symbol of Easter. That is, the original Easter, not the usual mish-mash of borrowed symbolism and feasts overlaid with 'Christian' veneers.
Easter is a time of feasting and worship which far predates Christianity, the name itself is that of the Germanic goddess of fertility. The Spring rites celebrating new birth and asking for the blessings of fertility have occurred at that time fot thousands of years before JC was even a glimmer in his mothers eye.
The hare (oft confused with the rabbit though the same family they are quite distinct) was an ancient Celtic symbol, celebrating both mystery and fertility. It was also associated with the Goddess of Fertilty.
So... chocolate bunnies? Why not, chocolate is known as an aphrodisiac and what better gift for the Spring Rites of Fertilty?

Of course, Easter is not the only ancient time of festival 'borrowed' by Christianity : Yule, the midwinter festival, with its ancient traditions of the Yule Log, and decorating trees with small 'gifts' is another victim. 'Halloween' is yet another, imposing the Christian feast of All Hallows over the far more ancient tradition of communing with ones ancestors on the night that the boundary between our world and the spirit world was at its thinnest.

So, it is amusing when Christians get all uppity about their 'sacred' symbols and feasts : you stole every single one of them from existing religions and practices. They aint yours to protest about.

Now, go away and pray.

[Lil Lola]

Yes Danik Christians stole a lot of their beliefs from pagan religions.

Go back and read it yourself. It was in response to her asking for permission to talk about the PMs in this forum and you gave it to her. Pay attention

I simply believed a rule was violated, I reported it stated my opinion in simple honest sentences, tried to be rational about it and make an actual conversation, even thought it went well for a while, but Argo commented again to give the wrong idea and start a new round of comments and memes. I'm not gonna apologize for any of her actions. I am not the one provoked her memes neither her lies that I'm gonna quit if not deleted and that the administrator asked her to delete it. That's a total distort of truth. I'm done and tired from this conversation. I find it hard to pray but I wish well for all of you. Take care everyone and let me know when you mods decide, if the rules allow people to insult people religions or not. Cause still I see no answer but still you keep mocking me and my religion the whole night.

The mods/admin don’t care about a joke. I can tell you that. They do care about religious intolerance and disparaging a race of people. That was not done. No violation had occurred. There was no talk of “killing all christians” there was no discussion of anything close to that. That’s what those rules actually mean. I am talking more along the lines of what Hitler would have done with his propaganda. That’s usually what the rules actually mean. Jokes and satire is covered under free speech which is also practiced here.

Disparaging the race of Jews in one of your comments must be something I already reported Lola but I guess all my reports are deleted. What you didn't tell me though is if you are a mod or something else special speaking in their behalf.

How can you even say this when you yourself are currently practicing disparagement to Argo??
