White House Bans Religious Easter Eggs From Art Contest
Daily Caller ^ | March 29, 2024 | JULIANNA FRIEMAN

Posted on 03/29/2024 5:48:25 PM PDT by Robwin

The Biden administration banned children from submitting Easter eggs with religious themes for its 2024 “Celebrating National Guard Families” art contest.

The competition, which is part of the White House’s annual Easter Egg Roll, explicitly stipulated that egg designs not feature any “religious symbols” on the Christian holiday.

“The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes,” a flyer with instructions from the White House stated.

The Easter contest asks children of National Guard families to decorate an egg template with “a snapshot of their life – a favorite activity, scenery in your state, your military family, a day-in-your life, etc,” according to the White House flyer. The winning submissions will be recreated “in real hen eggs by talented egg artists” from across the U.S. and “displayed at the White House this Easter and Passover season.”

I’m sure that gay and transgender themed eggs will be totally acceptable though...

Leftist atheists never do their homework. The tradition of decorating Easter eggs, or “Paschal Eggs’ dates to early Christian era Mesopotamia and before in some cultures. Notably, the Ukrainian tradition of intricately decorated Easter eggs to celebrate the Easter and the resurrection continues. Biden’s coarseness and cultural insensitivity could be construed as an insult to Ukrainian culture. I wonder if he had any idea. Doubtful, as idiots often overlook such things.

In our Good Friday service tonight, the passage for the sermon were the words of Paul in Galatians 6:14: “But far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.” The pastor made it clear that the world was dead to Paul, and he to the world. We, as Christians, are going to have to start keeping in mind that Joe Biden and the remainder of the world are dead to us; they view as having nothing to offer them. Therefore, we are truly free in Christ Jesus. Let’s live freely, brothers and sisters.

Doubt anyone attending their Satanic celebration would have anything Christian.

What kind of retard rolls an Easter egg around? You hide Easter eggs and people go look for them. Is this some kind of East coast DC thing?

I always remember James 4:4 warning about even wanting to be friends of the world.

"The Submission must not include any questionable content, religious symbols, overtly religious themes.”

This coming from a White House that has held trans events on the White House grounds. The anti-Christian bias could not be more obvious. Notice how they juxtapose "questionable content" with Christian religious themes.

Children use spoons to push the eggs in a race. Origin a few hundred years ago at least. English origin maybe.

Perhaps Christians need to forget the turn the other cheek and tolerance. No one else does.

“Ah, the tolerant left reveal their nasty selves yet again.”

Probably just following the lead of their dictator - dictators in training.
