BP's Easter Quote

"The cross should be venerated, not eaten, nor tossed casually in an Easter basket beside the jelly beans and marshmallow Peeps...It's insulting."

From AP story Chocolate Crosses Move Into Mainstream

I'm of the theological school that doesn't believe any religious icon or symbolism should be venerated. However I would have to agree that a chocolate cross is in bad taste, not because I venerate the icon or symbol but because of what a cross was used for. A chocolate cross would have it's modern equivalent in the form of a chocolate lynching rope, electric chair, or death cocktail syringe.
