I believe that Christ died on the cross for our sins and came back to life, thereby freeing us from the power of evil and opening the door to heaven.

I know many of you think I'm a moron for believing that. Fine, you can think that. I wish no hate against you for saying such.

All that said, I wish everyone a happy Easter and may God bless you. Even if you don't believe, may Easter be a time of renewal and joy for you. Because that, aside from Christ's resurrection, is what Easter is all about: The renewal of life in all of us. So be happy! Spring is here! The long, cold winter is finally over (Unless you live in Australia, in which case, happy Fall!) Spend time with family or friends, or call a loved one whom you have not spoken to in a long time.

God bless!

Well said! It is 12:01 am here so officially Easter. Have a wonderful day!!!! :)

I don't think you're a moron for being a Christian. I understand why people cling to religion, even if I disagree with it and what it stands for.

I'm suppose to be in bed but the sugar is keeping me up up! up!!!!1

I will either spend today sleeping interrupted by family meal time or heavy drinking after family meal time

Yes, bacon sandwiches rock.

Easter started out as a cult holiday to celebrate the zombification of jewish carpenter. Now most people think it's about a giant magical rabbit that craps painted eggs.

You just killed ANOTHER part of my inner child, and I'm not even 18 yet.

Anywho. Happy Easter all, and if you go to a restaurant tomorrow, tip generously. Servers deserve to have a good Easter too, especially if they have to work during it. :D

Haha

Classic.

And a happy Easter to you, as well :)

I can has Chocolate?

I believe that Christ died on the cross for our sins and came back to life, thereby freeing us from evil, icky chocolate and give us endless amounts of fine, smooth, tasty chocolate. Opening the door to heavenly treats.

I know many of you think I'm a marshmallow covered in dark chocolate for believing that. Fine, you can eat me. I wish no bad quality candies against you for saying such.

Thank you, and have a fine Easter! *nibbles on your hand*

Yeah, even though I started celebrating at the equinox, happy Easter to all ya'll too. Now where's that bag of jelly beans I had a minute ago?

So be happy! Spring is here! The long, cold winter is finally over (Unless you live in Australia, in which case, happy Fall!) Spend time with family or friends, or call a loved one whom you have not spoken to in a long time.

Autumn actually.


I thought he died from eating too many hot cross buns & we remember him today by trying to eat too much chocolate. :confused::confused::confused:

Bun-bun will soon come to kill you all.

Especially those of you who do not get that reference.

Happy Easter, may the Rabbit leave you many wonderful surprises.... and may you and your children (if you have Children) find them all. :D

This Easter....I believe that Christ died on the cross for our sins and came back to life, thereby freeing us from the power of evil and opening the door to heaven.

What did you believe last Easter?

Pathetic.

Other way round I think. The undead Jewish Carpenter celebration got put on top of the festival celebrating spring and rebirth which used rabbits and eggs. And then it was all commercialised to make things more fun.

WOOOOOO!

It's a White Easter in York! GET IN THERE!

Nicely phrased, and I salute you, sir.

Well, since this is first and foremost a fertility festival, we've decided to spend it doing the only appropriate thing : Shagging till we pass out. And then shag some more on waking up. Right now, I'm waiting for him to wake up again :D

So today while hearing the Easter story, something struck me. Easter is to mark the day Jesus rose from the dead, basically a re-birth. Many Wiccans today celebrate the rebirth of God through the Goddess. Pagans celebrate the rebirth of life in nature, as well as fertility. Hmm interesting parallels here.

Also, I have a question, Did anyone actually see Jesus rise from the tomb or did they just find his burial cloth and an empty tomb?

And Isis brings Osiris back to life long enough to get pregnant...

Also, I have a question, Did anyone actually see Jesus rise from the tomb or did they just find his burial cloth and an empty tomb?

Good question. I thought it was the latter, but I've never read the gospels, so I have zero credibility.

Also, I have a question, Did anyone actually see Jesus rise from the tomb or did they just find his burial cloth and an empty tomb?

Well, in the Bible, Mary goes to his tomb after it was suppose to be sealed and discovers it empty, and then meets angels/jesus who ask her why she's crying.

But it's questions like these that lead me to athiestism, for example, can anyone truly verify that Mary was indeed a Virgin?

These aren't questions that can be answered by anyone, theologian, or otherwise, and just saying that the Bible says so isn't a good enough answer in my mind.

Nope, it started out as the celebration of the vernal equinox. The j shit came much later.

precisely. and inbetween, also pre "current era" there was a fertility goddess named estarte, which is where we get all the eggs and bunnies from (and also the name easter).

and for everyone who'se new year takes place on the vernal equanox, happy new year too.

nothing against that charismatic carpenter's son either, just the fanatics who take his name in vain by claiming to identify with it.

I spent Easter completely alone.

Given that this house normally contains a shrieking, shitting baby, I am quite a happy man.

I don't think you're a moron because you believe in Christ's resurrection. I think you're a moron because you think that Australia's the only country on the southern side of the equator. It's not called "Fall" in Australia, it's called "Autum", and it started at the beginning of March.

Also as far as I know it's only "Fall" in the US.

Ha, sure, am I the only one that thinks Mary cheated and came up with the old 't'was concieved by god' malarkey?

Joseph had to be reeeaaal dumb.

'Why, tis the Messiah!'

Sure dude...

Oh, and Happy Easter all, may your days be filled with chocolate Easter bunnies because, despite 2, 000 years of Christianity, it's still about getting aphrodisiac'd and fucking like bunnies, which I'm sure Mary was celebrating.

God bless all.

And to you.

I don't believe you're a moron for believing anything you believe. Moronity happens when those who believe what they believe take it upon themselves to marginalize, ostracize, demonize, or hurt those who don't agree with them. I don't care if it's direct physical or military action or through legislation or peer pressure. Telling others how you believe is terrific. Insisting that they do under some penalty is not. As far as I know, that's not you. So, cheers!

But it's questions like these that lead me to athiestism, for example, can anyone truly verify that Mary was indeed a Virgin?

Mary was only a virgin if you don't count anal.

Yes. Mary Magdeline was the first, then others later.

Interestingly, Easter is one of the few Christian holidays that wasn't relocated deliberately to overlap a pagan holiday. Easter follows Passover, which is why Jesus went into Jerusalem in the first place. That was the week in which He was arrested and so on.

It's Autumn by the way :p

I miss my Google toolbar spellchecker.

If memory serves, they visit the tomb and see that the stone is rolled away and the guard(s) lay unconscious. They see that there's no one in there and they freak out until an angel tells them that it's all kool and that Jesus beat death to uh... death, like Chuck Norris to a mayfly and they go off.

I can't remember if they see Jesus or not, but I do know that the story spreads and all sorts of dead people come back to life for a short while. Then Thomas is a total douche and doesn't believe any of it, so Jesus apparates into the room and verifies it all.

Then Jesus hangs out with them for a couple more months to tie up the loose ends with his apostles (including the resolution to Peter's Denial) and then he gives them their standing orders and ascends into the clouds.
