see, I`ve heard it all. I`ve had it drummed into me, and when the drumming didn`t work, then came the *every argument and way I can put this to convert you this holy and momentous day is a good thing*.
Sorry, I`m still not buying it.
Because, I would indicate that - if you celebrate Easter because of the individual you all call Jesus Christ - you say - without his death, he could not have been a miracle. It was all so necessary. And we must keep this. He was crucified, he endured hours and hours of torture, the day was so exceptional it was pronounced by an occultation of the sun - and now we take Christianity.
Right - yes - I`ve heard that in so many ways - for so many years - but hang on and mind to my argument.
If you think this man was the Son of God. The identical same God who created *everything*. How can you observe his murder? Year after year after year - for thousands of years?
Because as his pedigree clearly points out - his message would have been delivered regardless - because - this is God we`re talking about. Right?
Are you savages? How can you keep God`s murder? Because I thought - you all wanted to end up Back with God when you die - and yet every year you observe that mankind murdered him - brutally.
Falsely accused, tortured, humiliated - oh right - let`s put that day on the calender and make certain we keep it with a feast.
God would have made his message clear regardless. Celebrate his birth, by all means, celebrate the fact that he refused to die and came second to show that out - but do not abuse your God by celebrating his murder - I sort of think that`s messed up.
And for this reason - I do not observe Easter at all. I find no peer pressure whatsoever to connect you in this festivity.
Now if you`re pagan, I see you celebrating Spring. Eggs, bunnies, sunshine, birds - yes I see the symbolization of YOUR religion every year. So why do the Christians share your religious festivity? Why do they buy *Easter* eggs named after the heathen goddess of fertility?
You see, from where I`m sitting - this all reeks of disarray and hypocrisy. And I`m not judging you - I`m just not joining in.
Pick a religion - and please don`t get the symbols confused between the many you receive to select from. If you are a Christian celebrating the slaying of God, then yes, Hot cross buns make sense - eggs and bunnies do not.
I dunno - the commerce of this world bothers me - and I don`t wish it. And I don`t believe anyone should be celebrating the execution of their God - that`s a tremendous message to be giving off.
So - I don`t keep the heathen or the Christian festival of this long weekend. I wish the food, and I wish the years off - but I will never celebrate murder. The man I would wish to belong to, will instead hold dear, and inspire, gentleness to all, respect, and all off is wrong - so let`s not advance it shall we?
There`s a god mentioned numerous times in the Bible - his figure is Moloch. He`s the God of sacrifice. In Acts, Stephen points out that this was the God who was actually in the camp in the desert. And I dunno about you, but celebrating the slaying of God, kind of sounds like something he`d advocate. He must have loved the forfeiture of God, and we`re still celebrating it 2000 years later. Was that a joyous day? I remember not. Would your God want you to keep his murder? Whose mind was this? I mean if you celebrate murder, then you shouldn`t complain that we have a universe wide of it - still. Choose your message, because right now - the mixed signals - well, they have the earth seem confused, and I dare say, hypocrytical.
I do not approve of murder - hence you won`t see me celebrating it. Not anyones. And don`t underrate your God. He would have granted you his message, without the execution of himself incarnated in human form.
Turning someone into a martyr, is simply a decent way of saying - they threatened our power base and we had to exclude them up before all the sheeple stopped listening to us and giving us their devotion and money.
I suffer for life - as did your *Jesus* person.
So please stop celebrating death and murder. Think about your traditions and how they extend to subconsciously impact our world.
Yes - this blog post is passing to press buttons. I think in God - strangely enough. But I do not celebrate - or suppose that any murder - should be considered a sentence for festivity.
