    You have to admire the boldness of the bullshit though.

    It's like the David Blane thing, lie big and you may get away with it. When he said that he was going to live in a glass box with no food or drink for 40 days some people were a little suspicious that he might eat something during the hour a day when a blanket came down over the thing so noone could see anything. Call me a cynic.

    In the same way the Easter thing is kind of funny doing a switch so that having no evidence is your evidence.

    Prove that your leader has risen.
    Well there's nothing here.
    I can see that, how is that proof?
    Nothing no evidence don't you see?
    No.

    Then you wait 60 years and get your great grandchild to write it up based on 4 generations of Chinese whispers.

    Also in the original books of Mathew and Mark no mention was made of the resurrection - that was added later. And then when it was added all the accounts in the bible contradict each other.

    It's a B movie of zombie fiction.

        Funny thing is, my wife is a strict, avowed, dyed in the blue tried 'n' true balls to the wall take no prisoners atheist...and yet we still hide easter eggs and pretend a big fucking bunny hopped into the house and left the kids eggs and chocolate. Kids who are 9, 12, and 16 (meaning: old enough to know better).

        I don't get it...

          The bunny and the easter eggs and even the date of Easter all come from pre christian rituals.

          I just look on it as a tradition and a bit of harmless fun like the Winter solstice Xmas present thing. The only problem comes when people try to hijack these ancient traditions and corrupt them into the Jesus myth.

            Right. It was a spring ritual full of fertility symbolism such as eggs and horny rabbits...

              And as if the Jewish leaders would have people getting executed at Passover.

              It really is a very silly story. If it was set nowadays they would probably have Jesus doing shit on Martin Luther King day or Mothers Day.

              I bet it's really Hallmark that put the bibles in hotel rooms...
