Just got asked what atheists do on Easter.
My answer is in the comments. What would you have said?
I ignore it and I don't like it. I work with students on both Friday and Monday so it's the same as any weekend apart from inconvenient shopping. I avoid the religiosity of Easter like the plague. I watch no live TV to avoid any Easter nonsense, but then I avoid live TV anyway, apart from streaming CNN. I actively dislike Easter so I make it the same as any weekend. Even fabricated family gatherings I avoid.
Well, I don't know about all atheists, but after my breakfast baby, I intend to wash in the blood of all the congregants of the local church. It's so refreshing! Then, maybe another baby for lunch. Depends on if I'm still full from breakfast. The rest of the day is a crapshoot.
Sacrifice virgins, eat babies, coffee with Satan, what else would we do?
Being snarky to a legitimate question on a site that purports to be somewhat intellectual is rude. If you are an atheist, you will give the rest of us a bad name. Kindness is possible even for atheists.
You forgot to add: drink the blood of christians after it's been purified with bat's guano. Read the satanic bible. Laugh at movies about the crucifixion on tv...
Hahaha...
Um, what about taking a dump on the altar in a Catholic Church? Come on man, you're getting weak on me here.
I'll probably bake a ham for dinner if I can't find a baby to cook.
Enjoy the holidays! Same as Christians enjoy pre and extra marital sex, killing for fun and hating the neighbors.
Adult Easter egg hunts for alcohol and weed in the eggs. I'm working again, so I get to torture my co-workers with jesus jokes, because I'll have to endure their, "He has risen" comments.
My kind of Easter, we will be planting!
@fantasticalice Fun.
Bite the ears off all the chocolate bunnies.
I spend time with my family. If my grandma asks to go to church, okay. She's usually the only one that asks to go, and I prefer her to be at peace.
That's sweet of you. I don't think I'm that sweet.
Then again, I no longer have any grandparents. If I did, I'd have to think it over.
You mean that first Sunday after the full moon after the Vernal Equinox?
That sounds really Pagan.
LMAO...
One of my favorite easter memories is when I was stationed in Alabama and my friend came to visit. It was Sunday and we were bored so we decided to drive to Tallahassee for the hell of it. Things usually don't open until 1 on Sundays so people can go to church. Fine, but it was after 1 and EVERYTHING was closed. We wondered if the zombie apocalypse had come and we missed it. Turns out it was easter and we had no idea ??
I don't do anything for easter. It's just another day for me. If I was closer to my parents, I'd probably go over for dinner, but we never did any religious stuff.
You should have dipped on in to church and prayed for the zombie apocalypse. It's only a matter of time, you know.
The same thing we do on any other Sunday. With a little luck I will sleep in, spend some time planning world domination, and then do whatever I darn well please and/or need to do.
Nothing special. Making Sunday dinner - that is special - lol.
Eat chocolate bunnies. Maybe spend time with family. My best friend calls it “ham day.”
I usually start with the ears.....scrumptious!
Look for colored eggs, celebrate bunnies, eat candy.. so much chocolate. Go out, enjoy life, barbeque, have a meal with family, go for a drive, hang out, go to a movie, sex, drinking, smoking, playing video games, board games, do puzzles...ooh and swimming if its warm enough (still snowing off and on here) or playing sports. Or best of all, nap.
