I just find that there are far too many things which are "secular" that are a little, I don't know, almost religious. Not enough to be worried about, and yeah, the egg roll is cute. It's the aggregate that bothers me, not the individual things.

As for whether or not it has to do with religion, can you imagine the right's reaction if someone tried to change the name to a spring festival egg roll or something like that? That tells me they're interested in keeping it religious, whether or not it originated from a pagan celebration.

I'm not going to be posting in that thread anymore, and I probably shouldn't have commented in the first place. But eh, that's what a discussion board is for.
