It's these kinds of things that are at the same time completely disturbing and at a point, kind of funny too.
| Quote: | A church trying to teach about the crucifixion of Jesus performed an Easter show with actors whipping the Easter bunny and breaking eggs, upsetting several parents and young children.
People who attended Saturday’s performance at Glassport’s memorial stadium quoted performers as saying, “There is no Easter bunny,” and described the show as being a demonstration of how Jesus was crucified.
...
Patty Bickerton, the youth minister at Glassport Assembly of God, said the performance wasn’t meant to be offensive. Bickerton portrayed the Easter rabbit and said she tried to act with a tone of irreverence.
“The program was for all ages, not just the kids. We wanted to convey that Easter is not just about the Easter Bunny, it is about Jesus Christ,” Bickerton said.
Performers broke eggs meant for an Easter egg hunt and also portrayed a drunken man and a self-mutilating woman, said Jennifer Norelli-Burke, another parent who saw the show in Glassport, southeast of Pittsburgh.

Flogging Easter Bunnies, Breaking Eggs, Drunks and Self-Mutilating Women. You know, for kids. |

I originally picked that name because I thought it would be intimidating. It was on westwood chat and they only allowed like 6 or 7 characters, which limits your imagination a bit. Its not that I don't believe in a superior being, but I just don't believe religion is right.
If you want something else funny about religion go to www.xxxchurch.com
Its not porn! I saw it on the Daily Show and its hilarious. |

It wasn't so much a religion thing as it was "Boy, these people are idiots" thing. I don't care if it's Muslims, Christians, Jewish People, or The Cult of Bob. Having imagry like that in a show that's supposedly for all ages is wrong. |

i was more referring to n0g0d when he said "Its not that I don't believe in a superior being, but I just don't believe religion is right"
nothing against his beliefs or anything.... just playing peacemaker. |
