Is that what Easter is all about? Chocolate and love? I thought it was about fertility and pleasing the Gods by having sex any where and any place.

Depends on your religion. To some, this is a time to think about how much love one must possess to be willing to delivered up to his enemies and crucified for the sake of all mankind. Therefore, the sharing of sweets in remembers of his sacrifice. The eggs, to remember that he was raised from the dead and was reborn. The sharing of love is to emulate his teachings. Now if you are Pagan, then it is a celebration of Spring and fertility. For us, we finish Passover which is a time of fasting and reflection. A time for gratitude for what we receive on a daily basis. So, at the end we feast, sing, and enjoy the company of others. So, for all; this should be a time of thanksgiving and telling those we care about how much they mean to us. To remember what it means to be human. If you are Muslim, then it is time to dress up fancy and go to a Baptist Church to show off your clothes.

I think it is rude to bring Pagan practices into a religious holiday

OK, then don't call it EASTER. that is Pagan, and not a celebration of the Resurrection or indicative of the purpose of the ceremony. Where in the Bible do you call it Easter? That is a pagan roman concept.

No Larry, that's the Spring Solstice. Initially the Church decided to coincide their holidays with pagan celebrations in hopes of drawing them into the church. The Spring Solstice celebrates the rebirth of the Earth. What better examples than the egg and the bunny?

How about flowers and birds. They seem show up at the same time for these cold climates. Rabbits are always with us.

No, I was not thinking or even intended to smear the reputation of the Baptist. It was all over the news today about Obama going to the Baptist Church. Most people agree that Obama is a Muslim sympathizer, if not a Muslim in practice. We do know that he declared himself a Muslim while in college.
