Happy Easter ©

Spring is on the horizon so t hat must mean Easter is on our doorstep.
For Christians it’s the time when Christ was resurrected, in a way it’s a lot like Spring as the Earth come back to life after it’s hibernation during the winter.

As some one you are sitting by the bunny feeding him carrots, hoping he will lay enough colored chocolate eggs so you won’t have to go out and buy some.
It’s funny how some holidays evolve over years and in some ways loose they’re meaning due to commercialism.

Take Christmas for example.
We went from celebrating the birth of Christ 2000 years ago to peeing our pants at the prospect of getting something we really want.
2000 years ago people looked at the night sky looking for the brightest star to make a wish upon, now we look at the night sky to spot a make believe fat fucker bringing gifts and WE teach our kids not to take gifts from strangers but if he is in a red suit with red cheeks it’s ok.

Not being an overly religious Christian, I don’t believe in god but I still believe in most of what is said.
I see it as a compromise to not having any faith at all with the only difference being that I put my father in man.
Scary eh.
As I see it, Christ, whom I do believe existed put his faith in man and in the end their fear led to his demise.

I don’t believe that he came back from the grave in the corporeal sense but I believe his death resurrected the faith people had in themselves and in other men.
His name became the banner to a new religion that has only grown over the centuries under the pretence of bringing freedom to those held in bondage and to feed those who are hungry.

A noble cause but over the years it has been distorted and abused by unscrupulous religious leaders.
A priest should be the last one to eat after his congregation not drive to the Ritz in his Caddy.
The house of god in some cities is bigger than the local hospital but sleeps empty at night while people die of cold on park benches.

For 400 years Christians put the sword to the innocent in the name of a mane whom gave his life so as they could see the light to find peace and freedom.
He led by example and reached out with a gentle hand to touch those needing his help but as the years passed the hand of his faith still reaches out but as time passed, the compassion it held lovingly was replaced with a spear firmly in it’s grip, held with as much love and compassion.

The world is gone to hell Muslim, Christian, Hinduism or what every religion you believe in.
Until everyone wakes up and takes a step back to really look at everything with UN-bias eyes, I am afraid our Children have no future.

Instead of educating ourselves to the ways of other people, we fight them because we think their ways are barbaric and absurd.
We fear what we don’t know as those who feared Christ did over 2000 years ago when they banished him to eternity.
What we don’t see or refuse to see is their way has been working for them, for thousands of years next to our, what, 400 years of existence on this side of the pond.
I don’t agree with their way of life but as long as they are not forcing it on me or mine then I don’t care what they do in their land and we should respect that.

Just as our ancestors rose from the fires of slavery and oppression to create the type of freedom we desired they would live and evolve according to how their citizens wish to live.
It’s the same for them.
If they don’t like how we live then they should learn to back off and live their way of live over there but if they so choose to come here they MUST abide by our rules not theirs.
We have to accommodate them to some extent because we do welcome immigration but we don’t have to bend over to be fucked up the ass either.

As Easter Sunday comes into being and the kids dig through all those chocolate eggs the bunny laid I’ll be wishing that all those people in the world no matter what religion they belong to and who still have some faith left in their fellow man can look back in time and resurrect the true reason their religions came into being, for peace and freedom for everyone not just the few blind zealots who only see straight ahead and not all around the world.

Before I close off this post I would like to direct you to two friends and fellow bloggers.

Susan has posted about Kayla, the news isn’t the Happiest but she will be going home to be with her parents for Easter.
I hope the doctors can find a way to help this young lady.

My friend Bennu is in a world of worry as her mother had a heart attack and stroke leaving her in the hospital and on a ventilator.

Happy Easter Weekend

Ah, so that’s where the eggs come from.
