Atheists only want people to think that Easter candy isn't good for you. That's why they've all corrupted scientists like those in the article!

Everyone knows that candy from Easter is special because it's used to honor The Lord! Jesus makes it so that Easter candy isn't bad for you if you have faith in Him!

Jesus wants you to be saved through him! Give your life to him so that you never have to be tempted by the devil again!

I think double-chocolate porter is very good for me.

 
BloodyL 2008-03-22 05:36:33 PM  
I read those articles to find out which candies are the ones that I do want to eat.

Jesus looks cute when he's hopping around giving kids candy and hiding his eggs.

Oh yeah? See's candy cures cancer. Suck it, major news publications.

No, I don't have a source. Trust me.

 
Eagle747 2008-03-22 05:40:37 PM  
Now candy is bad for you? What's next, cake?

 
IMDWalrus [TotalFark] 2008-03-22 05:41:02 PM  
So what if it's not good for you.

Anything that gives the world Cadbudy Eggs can't be bad, period.

 
tenhigh 2008-03-22 05:41:47 PM

Someone should write a book about this.

ZOMG!!!! Before you know it, they're going to tell us that egg nog and candy canes are bad for us.

Lt Shiny Sides: I hate peeps.

I'm the only one in my family who doesn't like them. My wife and kids would eat them by the truckload if they could.

I'll just go with the chocolate.

 
The_Sponge [TotalFark] 2008-03-22 05:45:23 PM  
Now that I'm an adult, I hope the Easter Bunny leaves me a basket full of cigars, beer, and prOn.

I usually eat all my candy in one day, if not one sitting. The benifits are threefold:

No trove of candy to tempt me for weeks or months.

I really don't believe my body is capable of processing that much sugar and I end up pooing most of it out.

I'll be so sick that I won't want to eat any sweets for months.

 
twfeline 2008-03-22 05:52:54 PM  
Your advice iz too late.
Already messily devoured teh chocolate bunny.

/He gave his all for the cause.

Unfortunately no one would buy it.

 
Eagle747 2008-03-22 05:59:29 PM  
Why did they not include in the article how much healthier pastafarians are?

 
Awssum 2008-03-22 06:11:10 PM  
It's ok strangeguitar, I giggled.

Dude, sugar dissolves in water. Do you pee out all of the alcohol your body can't process?

Good
More 4 me

 
gwendolyyyn 2008-03-22 06:22:37 PM  
Actually, I don't think 100 some odd calories for 4 peeps is too bad.
I probably couldn't eat more than 4 in one sitting anyway.

 
TheHopeDiamond 2008-03-22 06:24:09 PM  
Oh yeah? Well, I personally think that Cadbury Caramel Eggs are manna from Heaven.

 
leaving earth for no raisin 2008-03-22 06:53:58 PM  
It's bad, but it just tastes so good...

/will be eating nothing but candy for a week
//will be seeing the dentist next week

As an atheist I can say you can have my Cadbury Creme Eggs when you pry them from my cold dead hands.

Pshew, glad this is about Easter Candy and not the super-cheap After-Easter Candy. That's my favorite.

 
Chariset [TotalFark] 2008-03-22 07:35:02 PM  
Come between me and my Mini Eggs and pull back a stump, mister...

/haven't eaten any candy this Easter
//wants Twix

Brought to you by the same jerk that takes the punch bowl away when the party is just getting into gear. Isn't it good that there are people around that are willing to suck the fun out of EVERYTHING? Where would we be without them?

 
lifelongmanic 2008-03-23 12:29:20 AM  
I looked for a cadbury creme egg today...and couldn't find one.

I died a little inside.

 
teto85 [TotalFark] 2008-03-23 02:39:03 AM  
My wife and step-daughters are Buddhist. I am atheist. But that does not stop us from enjoying good chocolate on Easter. Or any other day. And I mean the good stuff, not the Nestle' or Hershey or Godiva or See's stuff. But the real Chocolate, Xocolatl and Charles' Chocolate. Casa don puglisi with Bergamot rules.

 
zensel 2008-03-23 12:18:48 PM  
I eat more hard-boiled eggs than candy.

Do not walk behind me.

For your own safety.
