Originally posted by robbie carrobieAre you a pagan? You also involve yourself in the Easter egg tradition. Or do you refrain from spending any money on them?
the Uk will spend on Easter eggs, just goes to show we are still essentially a pagan
nation.
What about toys based on the "Transformers" movies? How much does the UK population spend on those and what does that make the nation?
Originally posted by twhiteheadi eat them because they are tasty not because i celebrate Easter. Do you think its wrong that i should eat them. what about hot cross buns?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieNo, I do not think it is wrong that you eat them. However, in your OP, you imply that people buying them is an indication that they are pagans. Is this true or not? Maybe you just have a lot of people in the UK who agree with you that they are tasty and the reason so many get sold has more to do with the massive marketing campaign than anything to do with being pagan (or not).

Originally posted by robbie carrobieThere may have been some pagan influence initially, many years/centuries ago but there is very little religion practiced by the vast majority of the UK at Easter these days. Not much at Christmas either.
sure but dont you think they are pagan, a sign of fertility? like the Easter bunny rabbit?
Which is all for the better.
