"And Jesus said to them: You're not religious, why the hell do you care?"
I'm paraphrasing but... |

I have no idea any more, it's just another over commercialised holiday...
I actually saw adverts on TV for DIY products encouraging people to decorate because it's Easter. |

The name Easter does come from a Pagan holiday though... the spring festival of the fertility Goddess Eostre or Ostara (the female hormone oestrogen is named after her). Eostre's familiar was supposed to have been a hare and her symbol an egg (not a massive stretch for a fertility goddess). |

the god concept allows people to gain status by "knowing" what he says and wants, it allows control over people through laws and the knowledge of these laws and it gives easy broadbrush answers to difficult questions
its a no brainer why it works for many, especially in poorly educated areas its also a method for humans to gather in tribes, itsself a hardwired Darwinian trait |

Spend lots of money on chocolate eggs for the kiddies. Make sure they're as big and expensive as possible. Is basically the message...
