When is it going to end???  The city removed the work EASTER from their egg hunts???  If someone is offended to take their kids to an EASTER EGG HUNT - maybe they should just stay home.

It casn't be stopped either....It just goes on and on, never ending, if someone is offended or MIGHT be offended it gets changed.
You might rember not long ago it was suggested that cows in feed lots should be stopped from having fatulance because of the methane gas! GET REAL PEOPLE!!
GETTING MADDER THAN HECK but we still have to put up with all the foolishness.

Apparently no one here was offended enough to ask Russ to remove the following 'post' title!

"A way to Color easter eggs that is better all around."

That is just rediculous.  Do the Christians complain about non belivers?  No because that is your right.  If you dont like it dont attend it.  I wish everyone a Merry Christmas because I am a Christian, if you tell me you are Jewish then I will wish you a Happy Hanukah(sp?) but until you tell me your beliefs then I will go with mine, if you dont like it then TOO BAD.

Hummmmm, I wonder what their true name is? As they aren't truly spheres. Spheroids maybe?
I personally call them EGG shaped. Happy Easter or Passover or whatever you believe in!

Get a life and stop trying to force everyone else to protect your easily hurt feelings! If you don't share my beliefs that's your prerogative, but I'm not going to change just because you don't.

There I guess that tells 'em.

Gabby, If I'm remembering correctly, the term is "ovoids".  Not absolutely certain on it though!  ;)

Pray if you want to!
 I love this! 
CBS and Katie Couric must be in a panic and rushing to reassure the White House that this is not network policy--re: Andy Rooney's commentary on prayer.
Andy Rooney says:

I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December.  I don't agree with Darwin , but I didn't go out and hire a lawyer when my high school  teacher taught his Theory of Evolution.
Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be endangered because someone says a  30-second prayer before a football game. So what's the big deal?  It's not like somebody is up there reading the entire Book of Acts.  They're just talking to a God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the players on the field and the fans going home from the game.

But it's a Christian prayer,  some will argue.

Yes, and this is the United States of America and Canada , countries founded on Christian principles.  According to our very own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others better than 200-to-1.  So what would you expect -- somebody chanting Hare Krishna?

If I went to a football game in Jerusalem , I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.
If I went to a soccer game in  Baghdad , I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.
If I went to a ping pong match in China ,  I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha
And I wouldn't be offended. It wouldn't bother me one bit.

When in Rome   .....

But what about the atheists? Is another argument.
What about them? Nobody is asking them to be baptized.  We're not going to pass the collection plate. Just humour us for 30 seconds.   If that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear plugs.  Go to the bathroom.  Visit the concession stand.  Call your lawyer!

Unfortunately, one or two will make that call.  One or two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do. I don't think a short prayer at a football game is going to shake the world's  foundations.

Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other cheek while our courts strip us of  all our rights.  Our parents and grandparents taught us to pray before eating, to pray before we go to sleep. Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing.  Now a handful of people and their lawyers are telling us to cease praying.

God, help us.  And if that last sentence offends you, well, just sue me.
The silent majority has been silent too long.  It's time we tell that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard that the vast majority doesn't care what they want.  It is time that the majority rules!   It's time we tell them, "You don't have to pray; you don't have to say the Pledge of Allegiance; you don't have to believe in God or attend services that honour Him.  That is your right, and we will honour your right; but by golly, you are no longer going to take our rights away.  We are fighting back, and we WILL WIN!"
God bless us one and all...Especially those who denounce Him, God bless America and Canada , despite all our faults, We are still the greatest nations of all. God bless our service men who are fighting to protect our right to pray and worship God.
Let's make 2011 the year the silent majority is heard and we put God back as the foundation of our families and institutions. And our military forces come home from all the wars.
Keep looking up.

It's funny these same people that are trying to get rid of anything to do with Jesus are the same people that are always preaching tolerance. Kind of a double standard don't you think? But it's the same as it's been since the beginning of time, it's a struggle between God an satan. Satan thinks he is getting the upper hand right now, but if you read the end of the book---GOD WINS.

I hate to burst all your bubbles folks but you are missing one fundamental and undeniable truth that goes way back to the time when Man was still living in caves and dressing in animal skins and that is.....

Man created gods....it DID NOT happen the other way around!

Oh I've got lots of places I'd like to go but my health keeps me stuck inside most days and jeans and a rugby shirt is dressed up enough for me. ;D

You are welcome to your own opinion / convictions.
I'll keep my own thanks!
We'll stay friends just as long as you respect those conditions.
