It's not like they're religous or anything. So what's all that about?

There are several variations of the story of the origins of the Easter Rabbit or the Easter Bunny, or perhaps more correctly, the Easter Hare. The hare was was associated with the Pagan festival celebrating the goddess Eostre (also known as Eastre or Ostara), from which the word Easter is derived. Eostre's earthly symbol was the hare or rabbit. The hare is also symbolically associated with the moon and therefore may have indirectly become associated with Easter since the date of Easter is determined by the phases of the moon (the first Sunday after the first full moon after the spring Equinox, March 21).

there seems to be an awful lot of "believers" doing things that i wouldn't exactly call righteous.\n\nlook at the persons life not their professed religion.

a relatively small group of people having religious beliefs or practices regarded by others as strange or sinister.

You gave the answer in your question.  What you've described are religious people. They are not necessarily the same as Christains.

It is part of their tradition.\n\nthere are many things in their traditions that are not biblical at all.

They have been brained washed from birth just like people from many other religions.  I think it takes a certian amount of IQ to step back and see these things for what they really are.  They are a growing number of people however that can keep there faith but at the same time remain open minded about other posssibilities.  OH yea the bible quoteing thing ......... thats really annoying

No... It is not the religion but just the personality and their upbringing

I think that not only do they have a high ego, but can actually be dangerous to society.  I believe in God, but I disbelieve in organized religion.  I believe that our hearts are the temples we worship God in.  Basically, any small group of people who get together to make decisions for a large group of people make me uneasy.  If you back one of those fundamentalists into a corner and ask the hard questions like "Why did my Mom die of cancer?" or "Why did my little boy get hit by a car?"....you're going to get "It's God's will"  or  "the Lord works in mysterious ways".  The truth is, they don't know.  But they DO know that God wants you to vote Republican, and He's against raising taxes but He's for the defense, and even though it's one of His creations, He desperately hates marijuana.   Personally, they just make me nervous.

They don't respect God enough.\n\nThis is a casual use of God with out giving Honor to him, so you are correct in it being used vainly.\n\nUnless in their hearts they are giving thanks to God for what they received i agree with your assessment

They are looking for affirmation.  If someone who is a non-believer posts something that they can poke holes threw it gives them self-justification in their own beliefs.  Of course, you already knew that ;)

I suppose it's how extreme a form of their religion they follow. Look at the number of so called honour killings happening, where people have relationships outiside their social or religious background. It's rather worrying- i was watching it on crime watch the other night.

Its more than likely that they are just curious. As a christian i didn't know anything about the Muslim religion until 9/11. It then became a big topic. Ive learned a lot and have also sought out info on other religions and just generally like to hear about other religions. Its just curiosity.

its not that they feel they have a right, its they feel they have a mission,,, its a core part of their religion,,,,,, and its not mormons and christians, its some christian faiths,,,,,  a simple no thank you as you close the door is all thats necessary,,,,,,, and its probably people like you, with your wacko comments, that really fuel them to think they need to save the world !

Many religions have the concept of proselytising, which means it is their religious duty to 'save' or convert others to their faith. It doesn't matter if outside people are interested in their beliefs or not, or if in fact, they have their own code of morals or ethics. It's just part of the faitholder's religious duties. It does tend to numb the brain though, doesn't it?

They sound like a Christian to me.  I've never met one who follows the teachings of Christ. Intead they follow the politics of their "religion" usually to the compleat exclusion of the teachings of Christ.

I think it is because they see them as a stand-in for God.  They want so hard to believe in anything beyond themselves and yet they can't see God as anything beyond human like themselves.  \n\nI also think the pastors that allow this to happen may have a God complex and relish the power over the people.
