• Easter season is here! Here's what we have going on at The Bell Tree:
    • The egg decorating contest is back! Join TBT’s Fifth Egg Decorating Contest, now with two distinct categories: decorating and painting. Entries must be submitted by April 9th.
    • Starting this Friday at 7PM EDT, follow clues to search for eggs around the forum in TBT's Thirteenth Annual Easter Egg Hunt. New eggs will appear throughout the weekend and the hunt ends on April 6th!
    • Customize your profile by spending bells on any of our three recurring backdrops.

Happy Easter!

What the heck do EGGS and the EASTER BUNNY have to do with the resurrection of Jesus Christ? Secular, PAGAN traditions celebrated in conjunction with holy days make me sick. Sorry.

Not to mention, the Catholic Church is in BIG trouble right now...

Eggs are traditionally associated with rebirth, so I guess they symbolize Jesus or something. And the Easter Bunny's there because he can.

Yeah, no. Eggs are a remnant of pagan traditions.

They are there so not only people who are not religious or a different religion can celebrate it without being religious. Makes more people enjoy the fun of Easter and Christmas and more holidays.

Haha, no, these secular "traditions" are there only to make money. Kind of like Halloween, you know? Corporations piggy-back on any kind of tradition as long as they get a lot of $$$ out of it. I am areligious; agnostic I suppose you can call it. But I think religious holidays should be strictly religious.

Santa Claus, for example, has nothing to do with Christmas...
