Easter, Bloody Easter!

Ok.

Just so long as you don't see us as shitty people for "celebrating torture and murder", when in fact we dont.

I saw "The Passion of Christ" by Mel Gibson and saw that as a twisted celebration that a sick mind felt needed to be relived over and over again. I grew up in an old Catholic Church that had the stations of the cross posted on the walls and little old ladies touching the images adoringly. The yearly live performances of the Crucifixion story in churches (on Sunday, not "Good" Friday) certainly qualify as a celebration.

We value and remember the fact that He made the ultimate sacrifice and act of love, which is to lay down your life for another. Just as we do for war heros who die in battle, or otherwise people who get killed while rescuing another. But come on. That doesn't mean we "celebrate" the fact that He was tortured and murdered. What the Romans did to Him was an evil, horrible, sad thing, and is portrayed as such in the Passion of the Christ as well as in the Stations of the Cross. If you take the fact that we remember/value His willingness to die for us as "celebrating" His tortured killing, you are misunderstanding. Believe it or not, we aren't sadistic monsters.

Peeps.  Easter is all about the peeps, man.

You're wrong there. It's all about the miracle of the easter Egg.

Nope. It's definitely about the peeps:





After all, they died for our Easter baskets:

That is not fair. In some of the Godzilla sequels he was the good guy. 

I will say this though, back when I was married to my x wife who is Japanese, upon landing in Tokyo, I was quite disappointed that a giant lizard was not rampaging. THAT IS FALSE ADVERTISEMENT!

Saying "My god, my god, why hast thou forsaken me" always made to question the whole story. 

And Peeps ain't good until the forth day unwrapped.

Except you then also insist that he got up and went to Cancun for Spring Break.  Some sacrifice.

Peeps are the only food, if we had a nuclear war that would survive. Holy crap talk about chunks of meth infested cotton candy lumps of sugar.

Whomever came up with peeps should be brought up on charges. That and fucking candy corn.

And lucky humanity, since the concoction of the religions of Abraham, the rest of humanity has to put up with their Mesopotamian death cage match. Meh, who cares, as long as Muslims and Jews and Christians have their holidays, all the death between is worth the cost.
