PLEASE NOTE: it was ABC that ‘celebrated’ Easter with the cluster bomb segment and the questioning of the Easter bunny. Finkelstein, who is also your fellow FReeper governsleast, wrote the NewsBusters article criticizing ABC. Kindly address your outrage accordingly.

After all, the story of the crucifiction and resurrection is a tough story.

Indeed. This fact also is the source of it's life changing power.

The DBM will ultimately side with Islamism over paganism in its war against Christianity. Paganism is definitely cooler... but Islam really gets out there and fills the body-bags.

These people are truly deranged lemmings looking for a cliff to dive over. I just hope they don’t take the rest of us with them. Celebrate that he has risen and through “him” all things are possible. Have a Happy Easter freepers.

And especially so for people who deny that there is a God who sets for an absolute moral law (Rev 22:14) who promises to reward every person according to their works (Rev 22:12), and who assures that people who are liars, murderers and are sexually immoral shall not partake of eternal life (Rev 22:15).

Thanks for reminding me why my TeeVee remains OFF almost all the time.

How many kids showed up for the cluster bomb hunt, I wonder? It’d be interesting to know how many sick and deranged parents are out there.

[Doctor Raoul]

It's OK, as a counter protest to the cluster bomb event, the Osama United soccer team with show up to kick around a severed head in a Ramadan Tournement.

Think "Dancing Itos Do Jihad".

Thank you for helping us all rejoice in the victorious spirit of overcoming that moves in and through our thoughts,our words, and our actions!

Quote from the story: “CASTRO: The holiest date on the Christian calendar, Easter got its name around 325 A.D. Over the centuries, these pagan symbols have become synonymous with the Christian holiday.”

This person is a moron. Easter is a Germanic word. At that time there were few Germanic Christians. Everyone in the Roman Empire, east and west, called Easter the Pascha (which is from the word for Passover). The Easter would not develop for several centuries yet.

Next, it was time for ABC's Marisol Castro to explore the origins of the Easter bunny. "Why is one of [Easter's] most popular symbols a bunny rabbit? We went far and wide posing that question to the masses." The masses? Ah yes, let's explore how the little people celebrate their quaint religious customs. "Do they really know anything about him?" wondered Castro. And sure enough, there she was, putting kids, adults and even a shopping mall Easter bunny on the spot: "do you know where the Easter bunny comes from?" Subtext: don't you rubes know you're propagating a pagan custom?
To clear things up, Castro brought in someone from Beliefnet to explain: "The holiday started off as a fertility festival celebrating the goddess of Oestera, whose sacred animal was a bunny rabbit. Eggs have been a symbol of fertility for even longer than that."
CASTRO: The holiest date on the Christian calendar, Easter got its name around 325 A.D. Over the centuries, these pagan symbols have become synonymous with the Christian holiday.

This is the most factual reporting I've ever seen from ABC.

Can you sat boycott? Every hour on the hour Fox news has gone to Israel and see how pilgrims are celebrating the HOLIEST OF HOLY DAYS for this world.By watching these stations we only become more broken hearted . To celebrate Easter tonight ABC has desperate housewives. The edited version of the Ten Commandments was on last night. They want to ridicule us fine. It means they are afraid if us. We are too many and when we stand for our faith they cannot stop us. I say don’t watch their networks and the programs that are an insult to our faith. Faith can move mountains, and our faith can move ABC and MSNBC right where they belong, right in the toilet!

[betsyross1776]

Begin the boycott now! Send Abc and MSNBc scrambling. We are more of them then they are of us. No ratings they will wise up. Believe me they will never reduce Jesus do just another guy. They can try , but we are strong! the more they take Him down the stronger he has become. Keep trying , they tried this for 2000 years. JESUS lives period! For 2000 years they kept trying He will last 2000000000000000000000000000more long after abc and msnbc studios are dust.>

Here in Orlando there is a mall called “Millenia” that, for the kids, has “The Bunny.” Not the EASTER Bunny, just The Bunny.

It was rather comical that the local TV “news” station was asking those in line to see “The Bunny” if they thought it should be called “The Easter Bunny” and try as they might, they couldn’t find one person that thought using the term “The Bunny” wasn't absolutely ridiculous.
