These People Give Christianity A Bad Name
By Ken Schram

SEATTLE - They whipped the Easter Bunny.

This particular brain-burp comes courtesy of a youth minister at a conservative Christian church in Pennsylvania.

He thought it'd be an interesting way to help children understand the events leading up to the crucifixion of Christ.

So in front of the entire congregation, the Easter Bunny was whipped, Easter eggs were crushed and kids were instructed as to how the Easter Bunny is just make-believe.

Needless to say, children were bursting into tears.

1. And then, to top off a perfect day...
...they took all the kids to a free showing of "The Passion of the Christ"...(not in the article, but if they thought they could...)

2. Although I fully agree with his conclusions,
I personally find Ken Schram to be an obnoxious windbag.

3. I do too.
But occasionally he's spot on as he is in this instance.

4. I think the Inquisition did that, but these folks are possibly retarded.
