Happy Brithday, Jesus!

As Easter is celebrated for the birth of our Saviour Jesus, I would like to thank Him for all that He helped me and my wife achieve in our 30some years on earth. From our expected child, to our great wealth and our respective families.

Jesus is our Lord, and we must praise Him!

We shall celebrate His birth on this Holy day in April.

Thank you Jesus, I love You.

Amen.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Easter_Bunny

So basically, the Bunny is a sign of fertility (Ever hear of the expression Screwing like rabbits?) and as for the eggs, the Greeks use to paint eggs red to show the renewal of life and later on the blood of Jesus Christ, green is also used.

The hare and rabbit are symbols of fertility, egg is the symbol of rebirth - it's no coincidence that Easter is around Spring - the original festival was a celebration of the arrival of Spring, the birthing of new animals and the rebirth of the earth after a cold, dead winter.

Sweets made as rabbits seem to have originated in Germany in the 1500's and brought to America by German settlers, from there they've been commoditised into the Easter we have today.

Happy Easter to one and all, both Christians and other.

If God wanted to save humanity from his sins, he could have just clicked his fingers and done so from the heavens, presumably leaving a race of perfect robots in the place of humanity.

Instead, he sent his son, to give us the choice as to whether we turn away from evil. In order to have that choice, we need to be aware of the Good News.

Reminds me... (http://imdb.com/title/tt0120655/quotes)

Bethany: What's he like?
Metatron: God? Lonely. But funny. He's got a great sense of humor. Take sex for example. There's nothing funnier than the ridiculous faces you people make mid-coitus.
Bethany: Sex is a joke in heaven?
Metatron: The way I understand it, it's mostly a joke down here, too.

But not the funniest line, which was:

Bethany: You knew Jesus?
Rufus: Knew him? Shit... Nigga owes me twelve bucks.

I like this one:

Serendipity: When are you people going to learn? It's not about who's right or wrong. No denomination's nailed it yet, and they never will because they're all too self-righteous to realize that it doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Your hearts are in the right place, but your brains need to wake up.

I prefer...

Rufus: He still digs humanity, but it bothers Him to see the shit that gets carried out in His name - wars, bigotry, televangelism. But especially the factioning of all the religions. He said humanity took a good idea and, like always, built a belief structure on it.
Bethany: Having beliefs isn't good?
Rufus: I think it's better to have ideas. You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant.

Only the gospels.

The next is Tacitus, writing in 115CE about events in 64CE

Tacitus wrote:

"To dispel the rumour, Nero substituted as culprits, and treated with the most extreme punishments, some people, popularly known as Christians, whose disgraceful activities were notorious. The originator of that name, Christus, had been executed when Tiberius was Emperor, by order of the procurator Pontius Pilatus. But the deadly cult, though checked for a time, was now breaking out again not only in Judea, the birthplace of this evil, but even throughout Rome, where all the nasty and disgusting ideas from all over the world pour in and find a ready following."
Annals 15 : 44.

The punishment for blasphemy was stoning, the punishment for political agitation, however, was crucifixion

It's most likely Jesus was a political agitator against Roman rule, a Robin Hood if you will

If he was a Gemini then his horoscope today would be the following (http://my.horoscope.com/getHoroscope.asp?sign=3&day=8&month=4&year=2007):

Dealing with close relatives can often be something of a fraught experience and today is no exception. A family member badly wants you to get involved in a special event that in all honesty you would rather ignore. However, by putting your feelings to one side on this occasion there may some wonderful rewards in the future.

Oh, I'm pretty sure Jesus had an asshole. So that did exist.

In which case, you're correct: His asshole has indeed never existed.

Flamebaiting.

DUDE!! He was, theoreticly, born in December. Not in Apirl.

Wrong. The December date was set because the church decided that to set the celebration of Christ's birth during Saturnalia would encourage the pagans to convert -- it's from Saturnalia that the gift-giving tradition comes.

The shepherds in the tale tell us that it was during lambing season that Christ was born -- so it probably WAS in the spring sometime. Some people do set it around April as the "actual" time of his birth.

I've always wondered about the close analogy of fish and Jesus - the common explanation is that it was identified as the "Ichthus," an acronym from the Greek, "Iesous Christos Theou Uios Soter," or "Jesus Christ the Son of God, Saviour."

Aside from the fact that the symbol predated Jesus, you've pointed out the other ties between Jesus and fish. Then again, there's plenty of analogies between shepherds and Jesus. Why not a sheep?

Is it a coincidence that Pisces, Aries and Taurus are all grouped together?
