Easter----"EASTER"??

[Sweet Irony]

Peeps? Coloring eggs---(a hundred kinds of egg coloring kits)--

Do you go to church? Do you have a religious feeling about this weekend, or do you like the candy?

I, as usual, am mystified about holidays....I know the reasons they are (originally) celebrated.....but can never figure out what they have come to mean for most people....

You should have seen the display where I work for St Patricks Day---- when did that become tambourines and leprechauns juggling bowling pins and goofy plastic hats??:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

LMAO

For most people its all about the chocolate / food rather than the actual meaning.

Capital letters, religious subject... smells like Katy Holyjoe won't be long. Arrrrgh!

[Sweet Irony]

ohhhh noooo--sorry.....

[weesfreewheelin]

Hard boiled egg farts:eek:

[Hardrock69]

Well, considering that Easter predates Christ by at LEAST 2000 years, KatyPig has no reason to say anything anyway.

[academic punk]

I've scoured my Bible, and no where in there do I see the words "chocolate" or "bunny".

Do I have an outdated or poorly translated edition? What the hey?

[Dr. Love]

I need to get some of those bitchin' Easter Sweetarts. Those things rock.

No it doesn't. Show your reference.

Here's something most Christians forget this time of year:

Without the death penalty, there'd be no Easter.

These basic truths are what we call "nonbiblical truths" for example: it specifically does not say in the Bible the words "Marshmallow Peeps" or "hardboiled Easter Egg farts" yet in fact, they do exist.

See that? Jesus Christ has a gun you CANNOT fucking outrun, so is it all about "freedom of choice" if you do not believe, when if you take the choice of disbelief, you go to hell for it?

Easter in a Nutshell, as I would write it for the Cliff's Notes Edition:
Worship and Live Or Die in hell and get fucked in the ass by demons, Satan and for sure, Mormons and insurance salesmen.

FOR THOSE WHO MISSED THAT POINT I'LL REPEAT IT
The Passion of Christ is about how you get to Worship or Die.

We go to Mass on Friday and on Sunday. My daughter is Mary Magdelene in the church play this year :p

On Sunday we have a huge meal to celebrate.

On Saturday we do the non religious stuff. We color eggs and the Easter bunny comes that night while the kiddies are sleeping:

Now that's a loving God.

(Sorry, don't wont to get into a religious debate GAR. I just couldn't resist - No Harm Meant)

I do not go to church on Easter simply because the two-time Catholics (only show up to Easter and Christmas Late Morning Mass in their most expensive clothes to show off) will all be there. I go to Midnight Mass for Christmas.

I spend it with my family and we reflect on our religion.

[scottydabodi]

I celebrate Easter by NOT GOING TO WORK ON MONDAY!

An old joke I heard once....

3 Bishops were up for one opening in the College of Cardinals.

The question posed to the three candidates was simple.

They brought the first one in, sat him down in the audience chamber, and the Pope asked,

"What is the significance of Easter, my son?"

The Bishop looked troubled, and after a few seconds blurted out "Isn't it the Christian holiday where we hide Easter Eggs for all of the Children to find?"

The Pope looked thoughtful and said "That is a very good answer my son. You are excused."

The Bishop was let out, and they brought in the second candidate.

The Pope asked him the same question and got an equally idiotic answer.

The second candidate was let out. And they brought in
the third Bishop. The Pope was getting somewhat exasperated now, and was drooling a bit more than usual.

He asked the third Bishop the same question.

The Bishop spoke.

"Your Holiness, we as good Christians celebrate Easter in Honor of our Lord Jesus Christ."

The Pope looked relieved.
He then said to the Bishop:

"Please go on..."

The Bishop continued.

"Yes Your Holiness, we in the Catholic Faith believe that Jesus died for our sins, then rose on the third day.
And he rolled the rock covering the tomb aside, walked out and...."

"Yes?" The Pope asked.

"....He saw his own shadow and ran back in...."


:D
