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 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.

You imply that we are a pagan country becuase we buy them, should we buy them and not eat them? If you eat them then who did you allow to buy them.
Easter is of pagan origin, so is Christmas and especially Christmas trees, Sunday, (which isn't the Sabbath, Saturday is) in fact all the days of the week and months of the year are pagan names.
Enjoy the time off with your family and enjoy your chocolate. It's just chocolate.
