Passover
March 27, 2016 at 11:47 am
As we celebrate Easter we should be preparing for the soon coming Passover.
[Image: 83a418abcc6ae348278459e27fb5dcfd.jpg]

Don't forget to do your Seders.
Quote:The highlight of Passover is the Seder, observed on each of the first two nights of the holiday. The Seder is a fifteen-step family-oriented tradition and ritual-packed feast.

The focal points of the Seder are:

-Eating matzah.
-Eating bitter herbs—to commemorate the bitter slavery endured by the Israelites.
-Drinking four cups of wine or grape juice—a royal drink to celebrate our newfound freedom.
-The recitation of the Haggadah, a liturgy that describes in detail the story of the Exodus from Egypt. The Haggadah is the fulfillment of the biblical obligation to recount to our children the story of the Exodus on the night of Passover.

Apparently one needs to get drunk to perform the ritual.

God has no place within these walls, just as facts have no place within organized religion.

Science is like a blabbermouth who ruins a movie by telling you how it ends. There are some things we don't want to know. Important things.

Once something's been approved by the government, it's no longer immoral.

As all good rituals worth their salt do.

Now M that is mean and grumpy of you. You need to have more tolerance and compassion for them. Eat the bitter herbs.
