I mean, why aren't fundies out there screaming about how we horrible liberals are somehow digressing the Easter HOliday season into something secular. I mean, I'm suprised Bill O'Reilly hasn't made this his rallying cry of the Lenten Season

8. Yes, but wouldn't Easter be a good practice test run
to see if the material will be sufficient for Christmas?

16. honestly
you know why? Because although you can demonstrate the pagan roots of some Christmas traditions, it's not as obvious as it is at Christmas.

I mean, you might possibly make a case for Xmas, but anyone who says that Easter doesn't have pagain roots is an idiot.
