I did indeed miss it. Strangely, I think the church would approve since it satires non-religious behaviour.

Yup, that's one interpretation - was that your intent @icowden ?

(the eating is all based on pagan traditions I believe - not Christian, as I said over on the "Zombie" thread ... )

To square the circle you need a toy 'risen Christ' which is revealed when you break the egg.

Well exactly. I'm not sure what anyone found that offended them. It's just a silly comedy song. It's not really satirising anything or even taking the mickey out of the church. It's purely a joke about the combination of Jesus and chocolate which as most people know is because the Christian Church targeted the pagan festivals of midwinter and spring to make them Christian.

I'm sure someone released a chocolate stone rolling away from the tomb egg at one point.

I'd like to have commented on that thread but it would have been removed. I wish him the resti-est of peaces like I would anyone, but I highly object to the world needing a glorified cult leader to cleanse us all of our "sins" and to tell us that everything good that happens is the work of god, but everything horrible that happnes naturally is man's fault. What money it must cost to keep all this religious garbage going

Anyone who has visited the Vatican should know that the weekly collections are used to maintain a lavish lifestyle.

Amongst other things. I learned recently that it was the Pope at the time who authorised churches to take marble from the remains of Pompeii which is why so much is missing.

Not sure I get the connection?, was chocolate known to the early Christian church?, eggs, yes, chocolate, I didn’t think so.
