Your "thoughts" were you don't care about the Holiday; yet will indulge your friends on the day. If you want to profess why you truly started the thread; then just say so. I suppose you can expect other adults to believe it is because you are just curious.
Keep you expectations high for those pre-K folk.
Irony...and a general insult!
Solid post!
Anyway...
Easter was always an odd holiday for me as a Catholic. Lots of stories of pain and torture to show how much Jesus went through to show his love for us and show how being peaceful was better than war.
And that part resonated...until I was old enough to see the nuns were beating kids with rulers and the priests were abusing little boys.
Then it became another story that the "leaders" told us to live by while they ignored it.
Easter Sunday itself is amazing. The mass time for the proceeding 3 days is tortuous.
Beyond that the message is wonderful...it is just a shame that so many who claim to love the message never realize we should all be acting it out too.

Your anger and ego will always reveal your true self.
