Maybe so.  But imagine what would happen if the religious symbol was not a Christian one but of another religion.  1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

If there was a Star of David on a bun it wouldn't be celebrating Easter as Jews don't believe in Jesus as the messiah.  Saying that if there was a Darwin Fish on a Easter bun lookalike I might buy it over a hot cross bun for a laugh, only once though as hot cross buns have horrible candied peel in them, which is just taking the pith.

We established on the last page that the story isn't real, like almost all similar stories, it's just stuff to trigger the simple minded.  All religions are equally made up though. Do you follow one?
