if they don't affirm the Nicene Creed, they are not Christians. if they claim to be Christians but they don't affirm the Nicene Creed, they are 9 times out of 10 a cult.

I'm feeling mildly blasphemous, so let's muppet-cast the bible.
Non-negotiable: Animal is Jon the Baptists. "RE-PENT, RE-PENT, RE-PENT!"
Jesus is the only Human.
Sweetums is that guy who was possessed by Legion, and then they were cast out into 'pigs' (it's the chicken-girls wearing fake pig snouts, since pigs are actual people in this world)
Up for debate: Statler and Waldorf are Anas and Caiaphas.
I am taking suggestions for more. Also, I think Sam the Eagle should be Pilate.

This is your yearly reminder that if you are not Jewish, it is INAPPROPRIATE to host a "Christian" Passover seder!
Judaism is a closed religion and culture and Passover has specific ethnic and cultural significance to the Jewish people -- it's the celebration of our exodus from slavery in Egypt. Regardless of how historical that claim actually is (and most Jews don't believe the Torah is historically accurate, ftr), it's deeply symbolic and important to us as a people.
Also, Jesus's last supper was not a seder, if that's why you want to host one. The tradition we follow today originated about a thousand years after he died. His celebration looked much, much different -- and he was Jewish. You are not. The new covenant outlined in the New Testament nullifies the Covenant of Abraham that holds you to Jewish law and connects you to the Jewish people.
So, please don't have a "Christian Passover". There is no good reason to.
