The Cadburys Creme Egg advert upset all the right people when it was released in early January because of its inclusion of a gay couple.
***snip***
Needless to say, religious lobbying group One Million Moms are not impressed with the advert. They hit out at the UK campaign and urged people to join them in boycotting the delicious treat in a post on their website.
If you look forward to having your annual Cadbury Creme Egg each Easter season, you might not like how the company celebrates the risen Saviour, One Million Moms wrote on its website.
The group shared a link so concerned parents can watch the offending advert themselves, but they warned that it is both graphic and offensive.

(11,760 posts)Likely pagan, from whom Christians stole the Easter mythology, from whom the secular world is stealing Easter to sell products like candy eggs and Peeps.
The "Million Moms" are also just trying to profit from the "culture war" they have been instigating.

(22,767 posts)and see how you like it. I hadn't had one in decades and last week my husband got a 12 pack of the baby ones. I popped one in my mouth and it all came back to me - why I hadn't had one in so long.

(16,003 posts)After all Jesus did hang out with all men apostles, and he even defended a prostitute by laying waste to those without sin to cast the first stone!
If Jesus did ever return in human form, they would tear him asunder. Hopefully he would smite them before they could act out.

(2,580 posts)Especially for going to boozy symposia thrown by "the Greeks". One of my college professors, a Rabbi, told me that was a bit of code. It wasn't just a reference to goyim from Greece, but also to Hellenized Jews who also followed certain rather famous aspects of that culture. We'd call them "bi", nowadays.

(4,555 posts)Maybe all those supposed "christians" should take into account that the "Easter Holiday" actually honors a pagan god of fertility,
and not the "savior" who supposedly arose from the dead after three days,
except from Friday to Sunday is only TWO days
(I guess christians cannot count, among their many other faults...)

(7,949 posts)Cadbury's treat is appreciated by many who do not celebrate Christian Easter. AFAIK the chocolate eggs are an Easter BUNNY thing and not related to Christian celebrations of any sort.
Million Moms get a grip! Your theocracy knows no bounds nor much theology.
