Thanks for posting the vids of ACA. Hope my comment wasn't too 'over the top'.

I'm not really one for censoring stuff, so it's fine by me.

1 Supernintendo 6:4

"And so it did come to pass that the LORD Jesus did rise on whatever day is the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox. And this was so totally not stolen from the pagans."

Paraguayans 7:55-57

"Then Jesus said to Alekazam, 'Behold! For I have risen on every day from March 22 to April 25, inclusive, all at the same time & for no reason. Doth the apostles haveth their chocolate bunnies?'."

@jimbrown257 Religon is just a cop out from responsability and the fact you can enjoy the company of other people without killing each other.Many white ppl blames others for bad things from mexicans to polish to jews when in fact there is no global conspiracy , other then bussinesses/governments that want a monopoly which tbh every bussiness /govwants regardless of skin colour or death beliefs. Lol

[Thelondonbadger]

@jimbrown257 Yeah Black peopel have hav inferiority complex an see crackers* aka white ppl as slave owners and themselves as niggers aka slaves which even most white ppl are disagreeing with(thats why so many white ppl joined MLK).They dont want to face upto the reality of their community and push responsibility onto *well white ppl are opressing us* while picking up WHITE MANS welfare cheques(ironic huh) and prostituting their women drugged up on crack to whitesLol Then praising god on sunday.

"Right? Right? RIght? RIGHT?!??!?"

[MajickDemoniack]

Wait........Bunnies don't lay eggs?

[jimbrown257]

@Xigano1

I (like most people) have always wondered about that.

I also recently found out why white people are called Crackers. It comes from "whipcracker".

[Xigano1]

A fun fact from the sideline:

Back in the days, easter was the time when it would have gotten warm enough for chickens to lay eggs again.

[SOAS007]

Yup it is easter next week Funny that most xtrians never ask why the date changes each year :-)))
