Making the interesting
claim that Easter is all
about their demi-god Jesus, Christians exchanged eggs and decorated
their
houses with stuffed, imitation rabbits; both old pagan fertility
symbols.
Cardinal Crucify, asked to explain the relevance of these symbols to
Jesus' death said: “ Um... eggs and rabbits relate to the crucifixion
by…er…um, my it’s hot in here can we open a window?”
Several
of the three thousand four hundred and sixty branches of Christianity
were
attempting to meld the Christian and pagan stories by crucifying a
chocolate
rabbit on Good Friday, but as yet the idea hasn’t spread widely.
Four
hundred million Christians are expected to be harangued by church
officials this
Sunday, and be told their demi-god’s suffering was all for them. As
little Jason put it “The priest said all that pain in being nailed up on
a
cross was because I cheated on my arithmetic test. When I asked him
how Jesus being nailed to cross could possibly help, he gave me a dirty
look,
and said I should pray. I've already prayed for an Xbox, a Play
station and to get out of church early, and it didn't work, so I'm not
counting
on that”
