I would buy some but I'm sick of them now as I've eaten too many of the £1 Cadbury's Fredos from Morrisons.

I'm all chocolated out and, as I type, I'm trying to muster enthusiasm for my 50k challenge ride to burn a few frogs off - wet and windy out there too so I'm grumpy as well as fat.

What was offensive?

The juxtaposition of elements of Pagan, Christian and Voodoo beliefs I think.

Ah - I see!

A zombie is a fictional undead being created through the reanimation of a human corpse.

Seems on the money to me.

It seems they may be resurrected with rather thin skins.

Creme Eggs

Creme Eggs

Devil's food - sort of appropriate at Easter time I guess.

That white tooth rotting slime should be banned - is it subject to the new Sugar Tax?

Only if you drink them.

well i very nearly got slapped in church this morning ( I went as the school singing club where my boy sings was asked to sing in the family service) when the minister bloke was reading the bible passage that said, and i quote. " come put your fingers inside me" and i nearly blurted out. So thats where it all started with priests then.

io also laughed at the " and he breathed his spirit upon them "

so a alcoholic zombie with a weird fetish.


my missus who was brought up in a very strict church family just rolls her eyes when i say it as a real christian, rather than a sunday one would just turn the other cheek to the pi55taking

....hey c'mon guys, we're talking Easter eggs here.........what's all this religious stuff?.........

I'm a pretty staunch atheist, but as I posted at Christmas, I do enjoy these seasonal festivals and I'm interested in seeing how different faiths and cultures observe them. Celebrating spring is a wonderful idea, with all its links to rebirth, regeneration, fertility etc. I don't need to literally believe the Christian Easter story in order to appreciate it.

But any Christian who complains about a bit of mild ribbing really needs to check their privilege. I'm not exactly throwing them to the lions.

However, I also accept that there is no such thing as absolute free speech and this is a moderated forum. I would like to reiterate that if anyone is offended and wants to report me to the mods that's fine by me.

Jesus told his followers to eat his flesh and drink his blood. Still not zombie?

Was at work yesterday evening and people were flooding in for their last minute easter eggs. I was trying to work out when i last had an easter egg and it must be well over a decade ago... then i went to the staff room and there's a huge pile of easter eggs, one of which had my name on! The actual cadbury's creme egg has gone straight in the bin... but the chocky egg is breakfast

Yeah, Christianity butting in, destroying the true meaning of Easter. The eggs, rabbit, chicken is all ancient pagan fertility rituals. Even the name, according to the Oxford dictionary, comes from a Goddess (yay, sister!) of spring.
