What is Easter all about?
Thinking that sending the above cartoon to my fellow employees might be a "bad" thing under the various arcane and illogical communications policies issued by my weekend employer, I first consulted my manger. She said it probably wouldn't be a good idea.
Sure, there's a Muslim, a Jew, some Christians, and a bunch of atheists on my team, but I didn't seriously believe using the cartoon as part of an Easter greeting would be a problem. But I guess the holiday has simply become another commercial whitewash of a celebration of God's love. I was allowed to pass out Easter-themed chocolates -- i.e., bunnies and pastel colors. What bunnies have to do with Easter I don't know. Certainly the holiday is co-opting a number of pagan rituals and symbols, but the general idea is to have a re-birthday party for the Lord, isn't it?
