Today being Easter, everyone is celebrating something. But, many are celebrating something that probably didn't happen. Of course, I refer to the resurrection.
What is it about this Zombie Jesus story that makes it so appealing? Do you people really want to go on "living" for eternity? Do you have any idea how long that is?
Me, I look forward to death, if only for the chance to finally find some peace and quiet. The last thing I want is to spend forever and a day with a bunch of Bible thumpers. Good grief, can anyone think of a worse way to spend eternity than with the Jerry Falwells and Ted Cruzes of the world?
Anyway, take away the resurrection bull****, and that whole Jesus story starts to be really compelling. Love your neighbor; forgive people for their transgressions against you; spend a minute thinking of the plight of others; find god within yourself; piss on false prophets and be wary of ever joining in on a mob screaming "Crucify Him!" Good stuff, all of it.
Happy Easter. We're going to grill some salmon and eat butternut squash soup.
