Not everyone grows up spending more time watching TV than participating in church. Not everyone looks at the world the same way as you do. It doesn't mean they're crazy.
You should try to see things from the other person's point of view, without necessarily agreeing or disagreeing with it.
And if you didn't know the Easter Bunny actually did originate from paganisim then you're simply uninformed. I can't explain why Western Christianity incorporates such symbols in some instances and would consider them "pagan idolatry" in others.
- nessus42 15y agoDid I ever say the word "crazy"? Terribly misguided is more like it. They can live in their misguided world, but that doesn't mean that the rest of us have any obligation to bend over backwards for them. Btw, I'm quite aware that the Easter Bunny has pagan origins. Unlike you, I can also explain why some variants of Christianity coopt such symbolism and some abhor it. This has a lot to do with the continuing feud between Catholicism and some types of Protestantism. The Catholic Church a long time ago decided that it was better to "embrace and extend" the competing pagan religions rather than try to extinguish them.
