easter

I am sitting in a coffee shop bored. I was invited to some easter get together but declined because my family sucks. I guess I could go to church but I am feeling really apathetic right now. My wife is spending easter running down some road. I may go for a walk I guess.

Some days I think about it, and think there was probably some guy named Jesus, and he was quite a talker, got a lot of followers and a bunch of disciples together, and they went around preaching and such. One day he was captured and hung up on a cross, as they tended to do with rabble-rousers in...

Easter predates Christianity. It's a holiday meant to worship the goddess Ēostre. In the spirit of the "Christ didn't die on the cross..." thread, here's some more bad news for Christians. Bumper sticker idea: Keep Christ in Christmas ...and the goddess Ēostre in Easter

Right, in another thread the claim has been made that Easter derives from both a Jewish and pagan roots - something I find extremely unlikely - it seems to me to clearly come from the Christian response to the Resurrection and the existing Jewish Passover, and I know of no pre-Christian roots...

Yes, it's the annual "easter gets an update for drama" outrage. Oh the irony of these quotes.. http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23456466-details/Row+over+BBC+drama+which+shows+Jesus+crucified+in+a+foetal+position/article.do -

This year I saw several retailers selling themed Easter baskets. These themes ranged from Barbi to "Pirates of the Caribbean" (with eyepatch, spyglass, and chocolate coins). Surely this type of Easter basket is much more offensive to the fundamentalists than saying "happy holidays" in December...

First it was the road cones... Now I've uncovered another conspiracy perpetrated specifically to hinder me and mine. And this one really is the fault of the Jews... It's Easter - Good Friday. I have no food in my house because I've been away working on a huge television commercial for the...

Oh the humanity! http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/04/13/eastereggroll.ap/index.html It's true! :)

May Jebus and Judas smile upon you

So is it: 1) religious craze led to making lots of stone statues led to using all the trees led to soil erosion led to extinction by ecocide or 2) disease brought by outside populations, and rats, led to demise or 3) next decades' story which will probably contradict both of these

I wasn't here on Easter (not yet registered) so I'll post this a bit late. I composed it on Easter day and psoted it to various other MBs and since then added one section to it. Its actually quite short (compared to my other lengthy works) and this makes it accessable to a wider audience (as...

Oh, this is just great... http://www.cnn.com/2004/US/Central/04/11/egghunt.guns.ap/index.html I'm happy that most churches have absolutely no problem with Easter eggs. But... What kind of complete effing moron accidentally (I'm hoping it was accidentally) drops a loaded handgun in a...

I heard that the holiday of Easter as we know it (the myth of jesus rising from the grave) was just transplanted over an old pagan holiday celebrated by the Romans and the word "Easter" is a derivative of a name of a pagan god. Do most christians know this?

I guess this is the right forum for this...

Does anyone else see the irony in this? CROSS-SHAPED SUCKERS

Too early this morning, I heard a car start up. I peeked out the window. The family across the street was going off to Easter sunrise service. What a pretty picture. The kids dressed up in their Easter finest. I bet they were just thrilled to be dragged out of bed at 4:30 a.m. and thrown into...

I need a little help here. I was recently involved in a debate with someone here over contradictions in the Easter story. I pointed to the story "Leave No Stone Unturned" (http://www.ffrf.org/lfif/stone.html), where someone suggests that it is impossible to write a complete timeline of the...
