Thats a real shame. Possibly the RR-er isn't as secure in their Faith as they assumed?

Eldrick was not knocking Christianity per se, just pointing out how the early Church assimilated local traditions.

I've always understood the association of eggs with Easter/spring - new life and rebirth. But rabbits??

Rabbits because of their fertility. As in 'breeding like rabbits'. Lol


Wash mah maff art! :-D

pmsl @ Wash mah maff art!

Nice bit of Southern there Eldrick...reminds me of Hayley and her *gert arta ma parb* lolololol x

Bet you didnt know i could speak london. I did an online rossetta stone course.

Cost me a monkey, so it did guvnor.

Thanks to whoever RRd you I went to Wikipedia and found out for myself.

It was very enlightening.

Am reading a book about the history of Christmas at the moment, very similar, old religions celebrated around the same time as Christmas. The use of pagan symbols of mistletoe and holly an example of using bits of the old religions in the new Christian one.

Pat ;-)

I always thought it was "bringing in the sheep"


mustve been hard of hearing from a very early age!!

Its a happy clappy song, which was the point of the irony not the easter coonotations, although irony tends to lose its impact upon explanation lol

I think that if some one does not like or agree with a post it would be better to challenge the content through debate first rather than just using the RR button,

We all have our own opinions and we will never agree 100% of the time but the RR is not going to change any ones opinion you can only do that through intelligent debate,

Most RR'd threads never have a post from the RR person to explain why?
I have used the RR once in my time on her and that was because of personal info posted about children that the author refused to remove and i posted on the thread as to why i had reported the thread

Perhaps the RR'er hasn't the capacity for intelligent debate :-D

Big Congrats to you Mick, its a great feeling isnt that RR warm feeling , I got mine last week still with me never goes away LOL ;-)

Oh poor E you need whipping with a palm .......you have a heavy cross to bear,,,!


are you booked on Friday or is it Sunday,,,,,,,,, ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) :-D

Perhaps the RR'er has a genuine reason for reporting the thread. Perhaps the person doesn't want to reveal who they are after reading on some threads what the general consensus is regarding people who report threads. Perhaps the RR'er believes they would be shouted down if they tried to have an intelligent or otherwise debate.

Disclaimer :-D It wasn't me who reported the OP and my post isn't having a go at the OP or Eldrick 'cos I don't know what was said.

Sheila, If the RR person did not have the capacity for intelligent debate then how would they have the intelligence to justify the reason to GR when the hit the RR button let alone the intelligence to actually have an opinion :-S

Roy :-)

While your god's promise of eternal life is persausive, the Papua New Guinean mud god, Pikkiwoki, is promising a pig and as many coconuts you can carry.

There is no religion that fits all :-D :-D :-D :-D

Sue I love coconuts might change me religion :-D :-D

ha ha ha ha

I vote Supercrutch for the next RR !!


xxxxx mick

Well- say something that will offend someone!

(And on this site that could be absolutely anything!)


xxxx mick

Are yes coconuts

When as a youngster the fun fair came to our village coconuts where the ultimate prize to win

Roy

so people want to stifle free speech and intelligent debate. Nothing new there then. We'll soon be reduced to discussing what we had for breakfast, dinner, tea.

Why can't they come on the thread and disagree, if they disagree? Oh probably because they do not pay to be members. :-S

If I get RRd that would offend me greatly as my shrine to Pikkiwoki has pride of place in my hallway. :-D :-D
