Well, you sure told me!I'm so glad your head in the sand syndrome can't understand what I am saying. But you go ahead and do whatever tickles yer ear and I will do the same.Meanwhile, I went to the local christian thrift shop today. The folks running it were all excited about this coming sunday and the easter egg hunt. For once, I kept my mouth shut, but I smiled a lot and once in awhile shook my head.
Good for you.
Meanwhile, remember..you aren't the authority on what is *acceptable* celebration for Christians. Kids like to hunt eggs, and we aren't compelled to abstain just because you can't wrap your tiny brain around the fact that Christians can partake of egg hunts without rejecting Christ.
I understand what you're saying just fine.
You're saying that you feel smug because in your narrow world, Christians who allow their kids to hunt Easter eggs are somehow stupid, or don't know where the origin of Easter egg hunts comes from, or are somehow being unfaithful to their Christian roots.
It's patently stupid of you, and wrong besides. I know, undoubtedly better than you, where the traditions spring from. I embrace the tradition. It doesn't mean I'm not a Christian. It means I appreciate the history and don't see a conflict, because the only conflict is the one that's imagined by people who obviously don't have a good understanding of either of the traditions.
No need to keep 'splaining yourself although you seem you really hafta. Do whatever floats yer boat.
