Actually, the Easter Bunny and the egg tradition is a pagan tradition.

But Easter is  not

So? The position/policy should have been revoked in 1979.  For goodness sakes...it is THE EASTER EGG ROLL.  Any idiot knows the religious meaning of Easter.

However, feel free to keep using the "Everyone else did it" defense...it usually works so well for people in kindergarten.

Refresh my memory.  I don't recall anyone being outraged when any prior president used those exact same guidelines.  Why now?

But as a practicing Christian, I can understand how MAGA morons might be upset.  Everyone recalls the story of how, on the third day, Jesus rose from the dead and wandered through the Garden of Gethsemane hiding colored eggs for his disciples to find.  It is such a sacred religious event that Christian iconography should be REQUIRED BY LAW to be included in every easter egg coloring kit.

I'm not outraged...I just think it's idiotic and has been since it was put in place.

And nobody said Jesus wandered anywhere to hide anything...other the some blithering idiot that goes by maineman.

People can go home and decorate all of the Christian themed Easter eggs they want. Nobody is preventing them from doing that.

BTW, did any of the participants complain about the policy?  I don't think so.

I don’t know I just know plugs didn’t allow it it’s Easter for Christ’s sake

sarcasm is lost on you.  

I'm sorry for you for that.  My POINT was that for Christians, colored chicken eggs, regardless of their adornment, have never been an integral part of the good news in the Easter resurrection story.  It seems that, on a slow news day, republicans can get butt hurt about just about ANYTHING a democratic president does.  Remember the OUTRAGE at Obama, that uppity mulatto, who had the temerity to wear a tan suit?   

And your outrage over unadorned Easter eggs totally overshadows your reaction to Donald Trump's vile sacrilegious "Easter message" hateful screed.  That is really more instructive that you can imagine

First, you need to look up the definition of outrage...in a real dictionary, not the Whiny *** Liberal Dictionary...because voicing an opinion does not equal outrage.

Did it ever dawn on you that people are voicing opinions because it is being reported?  I don't remember it being reported under Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama or Trump.  The liberal media apparently feels obligated (possibly directed be the DNC) to attack any conservative or conservative post on any platform that takes a shot at Sniffing Joe.  Maybe your "outrage" over hearing opinions you don't like should be directed to the media for making this a "big deal".  My suspicion is if they would have simply ignored the comments only about 0.5% of the population would have known anything about it.

Unquestionably, you've reached a new low with your depiction of Easter.
Consider yourself lucky that it's still in vogue to show as much disrespect for Christians as you choose, because you'd probably be thrown in jail if you exhibited such disrespect for a Muslim holiday!  What's next for a dirtbag like you?  Asking God what pronoun you should call Him?

Yes I'm pissed at the audacity of this administration to forbid a kid from painting a cross on his Easter eggs, but that doesn't compare to the outrage of tying one of the most sacred of holy days in the Catholic faith to include a simultaneous celebration of yet another day that we're supposed to accept the anti-Christian message of gays and transexual dysphoria as well.  As if it's not enough that we're forced to share Father's Day with Gay Pride month in June, but this kind of **** will NEVER be accepted by the majority of this country no matter how hard they try to force it down our throats!

March 31st has been designated transgender day of visibility since 2009.  The date of Easter is variable according to the lunar calendar and will not fall on March 31st again until after both of us are worm food.  

This administration merely upheld the same egg decorating guidelines as every other administration (including Trump's) since 1979.

And for Protestants like myself, Easter is the most sacred day of the church year, regardless of what other events might also be celebrated on that day.  My wife and I were at sunrise service this year, as we are every year,  and it was very inspirational.  How about you?

Oh... and since you seem to know so much about Christianity, can you point me to the portion of the New Testament where the dying and rolling of the eggs of chickens is incorporated into Holy Week?

not at all.  there were a whole bunch of kids there this year and, by all reports, they had a blast.  

That doesn't change the fact that dying the eggs of chickens and rolling them about is not really part of any Christian doctrine or sacrament.

Remember that Gospel story where Jesus dyed the eggs and then, after rolling them around the side of a hill overlooking Lake Kinneret, he cracked them open and fed a whole bunch of kids?

First...I doubt any media outlet would report any of the kids had a horrible time.  However, since any subset of the universal set will, almost always, have the same characteristics of the universal set, the odds are good some kids didn't have a blast.  That is the reason sampling and polling are used. But that's neither here nor there.

What you are apparently too stupid to grasp is the "outrage" (to use YOUR word) is NOT how the "eggs of chickens" are decorated OR that they are part of any "Christian doctrine or sacrament".  It is the banning of religious emblems from an event commemorating a religious celebration. Are you honestly so dense you don't see how inane that is? And it doesn't matter who started it or the political party to which they belonged.
