We don’t want to have religious symbolism at our Religious Holiday Celebration!
Rabbits and eggs are religious, you dumb shits. What you mean is "No Christianity."

For that matter, the Rainbow is a Christian symbol. Better not have any Rainbow eggs during the Day of Visibility.

Really? I thought it was Old Testament.

How does that make it non-Christian?

It doesn't. However, the rainbow was a symbol of God's covenant with man after the Great Flood, wasn't it? And a symbol of the promise to never destroy the world with water. Originally it was not Christian.

Originally it wasn't religious at all. Then somebody made up a story about it.
I know, buzzkill for Easter.

It predates Christianity as it predates Judaism. It is a part of both traditions.

I've always been a little concerned about the excessive amounts of incest that must have gone on directly after the flood.
So much for getting rid of sin.

Pretty confident rainbows even predate the dinosaurs. Something to do how the laws of physics act upon the refraction of visible light in the atmosphere. Nothing to do with man made organised religion at all.

All items in iconography predates man’s attempts at explaining the universe. Cats predate the ancient Egyptians. The stars and their formations predate ancient Greeks and sailors. That’s irrelevant to the conversation. The story of Noah and the flood predates the existence of Judaism and Christianity, but the symbolism involved is in both religions. Biden was explicit. No religious imagery at the Whitehouse tomorrow.

But it's only for children of the National Guard.
Presumably other religious imagery is OK.
Right?
Will the Sisters of Satan make an appearance?
Actually...
Children also can't promote material that promotes "bigotry, racism, hatred or harm against any group or individual or promotes discrimination based on race, gender, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age" in their designs.
Can I say that my Easter egg painting of Christ on the cross doesn't promote "discrimination based on...religion?"

Yeah but can your “science” explain why the rain falls?

Yes it can.
