Serious question: What does chocolate have to do with Jesus?
After exploring the origins of the modern Easter I discovered that the answer was quite simple: Not a shitload.
It’s just another example of how the Christian religion got low on ideas and decided to take something from the Pagans… A lot like Christmas! (…Because we all know shepherds don’t camp in the fields in the middle of friggin’ winter.)
So now I’m struggling to figure out who I should thank for the origins of Darrell Lea’s Nougat Egg/Christmas Pudding (they’re the same thing, only in a different package at a different time of the year).
That’s it. From now on I’m worshipping Darrell Lea at Easter!

Um. You're kind of discrediting the media here, since most of what holidays are today have entirely to do with the media. And also greeting card companies. Like Mother's Day. They're all a scam for corporate money grabbers to steal our money.
I could have waffled on about how Santa is red and white thanks to Coca-Cola, but I figured that my socialistic rants could wait till uni went back.
Also, it was slightly implied. Why else would I be worshipping a confectionary company/franchise?
I was also getting at how I find it funny that people like me (who aren't strictly Christian) still celebrate religious holidays (can't say I really celebrated it much this year, though). And maybe how even from a religious perspective most of them don't even make a lot of sense.
I mean, Christmas isn't actually the 25th of December. It was just made it because the Pagans already had their Winter Solstice celebration then and Christians were trying to reform them all.
And yeah, evil corporations, greeting card companies, etc.
Santa may be red and white thanks to Coca Cola but personally I'd prefer to worship the Coca Cola >_>
