Yep--I like it too. I recently saw a show on the Food Channel where they investigated how it is made. Pretty interesting (maybe I am easily entertained). Anyway, they showed how to make it at home, and it comes out different, but cool. Lots of corn syrup, don'tcha know.

Hey flow--next year add the tractor.

InPeace,
InLove

Thanks InLove.

I like Tinkerbell although for some reason I'm not a big fan of Peter Pan. The movie with Robin Williams was completely annoying, IMO. Sorry, not trying to be a wet blanket. Just not my cup of tea I guess! I like Halloween and it is tons more fun with kids of our own.

The candy corn is too sweet for me...but to get this thread back on topic...Easter chocolate eggs are the best! I've grown fond of the ones made by Dove, dark chocolate...mmmm.

Rather than steer clear of popular pagan customs and magical rites, the religious leaders condoned them and gave them "Christian significance." not a good thing to do in the eyes of the Almighty.still it was foretold that these sort of things would happen ,and many have come to think that this is quite alright ,even thinking that these celebrations are based on the bible , yes many many people have been misled down through time , and mixing pagan with pure teachings is very offensive to the true God.
How does God feel about these customs?
Some feel that the joyousness of such festivals and the happiness they bring are sufficient justification for their observance. We can learn, however, from the occasion when the Israelites adopted an Egyptian religious practice and renamed it "a festival to Jehovah." They too "sat down to eat and drink" and "got up to have a good time." But their actions greatly angered Jehovah God, and he severely punished them.—Exodus 32:1-10, 25-28, 35.

the people worshipped the golden calf idol, sacrificed to it, and claimed that the idol brought them out of Egypt, which is blasphemy. That is why god punished them.

Ah, horse puckey. God punishes the heart of man, not the actions of man. God looks into a man's heart, and there He finds the truth. That is what He want's to see.

without a doubt, before one even acts, the thought of it in your heart is a sin. however, the people who made the golden calf not only thought of sinning, but also acted upon it.. i did not mention what you pointed out in my thread out of simplicity, because i was merely pointing out that the golden calf has nothing to do with the concept of celebrating easter which warrants gods disapproval, because they are two different kinds of events entirely.

I stand corrected.

and called it a festival to Jehovah ,what they were doing was wrong ,and adding the name of God to it did not make a wrong right.in fact it added to the wrong.
After they left Egypt, the Israelites made a golden calf to worship. In addition to the warning against idolatry, there is another important lesson in this account. The Israelites disobeyed clear direction from Jehovah. (Exodus 20:4-6) Yet, they did not intend to reject Jehovah as their God. They made sacrifices to the molten calf and called the occasion "a festival to Jehovah." Somehow they deceived themselves into thinking that God would ignore their disobedience. This was an insult to Jehovah, and it angered him greatly.—Exodus 32:5, 7-10; Psalm 106:19, 20.

True. The "easter bunny" is symbolic of the orgy conducted as a fertility rite among pagans. Ever hear of "quick like a bunny?"

No. They save that for St. Valentine's day.

for one second of fun, you now have 20 bunnies until they are 18.

It is no secret that the tradition of Easter is man-made rather than God-given.
