A small £1 treat to bring a smile to a child's face, how anyone could suggest that is sending a child to hell is evil, how could you think such a thing?

Extraordinary, almost wilful ignorance, mixed with sickening sentimentality. Children will not go to Hell for eating chocolate Easter eggs, cheap or other.

But nobody posting here seems to have the slightest appreciation of the siginficance of Easter as the most important religious event of the year, and the significance of the symbol of the Easter egg. Certainly nobody posting here seems to have any interest in communicating an understanding of that. Instead, it's all about commercial enterprises competing to flog sweeties to gloating consumers which will be given to ungrateful children.

The perpetuation of ignorance, and the promotion of greed and pointless consumption, does put your children at risk of going to Hell.

But if the owners of Tesco, Asda and the rest say it's OK then it must be, right? I mean, they couldn't possibly be evil, could they?

Sainsburys are doing eggs for £1 as well, seems all the retailers are offering cheaper eggs this year.

This is why. The production of Chocolate Eggs begins as early as September, sometimes earlier depending when easter falls the following year. None of the confectionary companies - mainly Cadburys and Nestle were expecting the collapse of Woolworths - the biggest retailer of Easter Eggs in the UK. Well, they went on as normal producing huge numbers of choccy eggs with the intention of Woolworths taking the majority of them. When Woolies collapsed the companies were left with excess stock - the best way to offload these was to sell them even cheaper to the supermarkets.

The Supermarkets are now offering them at lower prices than last year in the hope of pulling in cash strapped shoppers this easter.

No where in the bible does it say God is going to strike down any child who eats a chocolate egg to hell!

And nobody said it does. You have invented a false proposition to bolster your ignorance and prejudice.

You have made that up, if you attribute any social or religious significance to this.

If you have to resort to name calling, dishonesty and misrepresentation to make your point you have lost the argument you are trying to make before you started.

Sylphraven, you edited out the full vileness of your comments while I was replying. So that others might judge what I was getting at, here is what you said before perhaps better judgement caught up with you --

Help the eggs are EVIL!!!!! Yeah, on my waist line.
Stop being a troll Dustangle, your only doing it for kicks & are showing your ignorance of the christian faith - No where in the bible does it say God is going to strike down any child who eats a chocolate egg to hell!
& the giving of eggs pre-dates Christianity, but was taken by Christians to be the shape of the stone that blocked (& later moved) the cave Jesus was laid to rest in.
Anyway, enough of the religious stuff.

As well as adopting the pagan festival of Eostre the Egg, representing fertility and re-birth in pagan times, was also adopted as part of the Christian Easter festival

source: http://www.aphrodite-chocolates.co.uk/easter-eggs-history.htm it's well known the christians took over many pagan festivals. :rolleyes:


Besides not all of us are interested in the chocolate I need 5 Yorkie mugs! Really annoyed actually as popped through Asda on Saturday am, and saw them but was going somewhere else so couldn't carry 5 of them, went back 3 hours later and ALL the £1 eggs with mugs had gone. :mad::rolleyes:

I read on hotdealsUK that the mug/eggs @£1 will be on till the 24th, but that stores only get a limited number each day and some of the staff are nabbing them too. If I don't manage to get any will be a bit upset!
