Happy Easter

I'm gonna go all Religious here, so any of you that are offended by that or want to argue, go amuse yourself somewhere else. I don't mind.

Easter is THE Christian Holiday. It is also the least commercially exploited Holiday. Christmas is a Great Holiday. The Birth of the Savior and all. Also the mmost commercially exploited day of the year. But for all the wonder and mystery and celebration, without Easter, Christmas is just another day.

For all of the beauty of the Faith, for all of the devotion, for all of wonderful structure provided by the life of Jesus, it all is just Philosophy without Easter.

Without Easter Jesus was a wonderful man who brought a philosophy of peace and reconciliation to the world that has been the founding truth behind much of the worlds legal and moral structure. A wonderful man, a man without peer.

But without Easter he is just a man.

The Reserection is the cornerstone of belief. If you can accept this single fact, you acknowledge the Divinity of Christ, and all that it means.

As Bob Dylan put it in his album "Blood on the Tracks", "You got to serve somebody". Unless you hold the belief that you are the center of the universe, you have to believe in something bigger than yourself.

It is so much better to focus yourself on beleiving in and supporting a Religion that is based on Charity, Faith and Love. Yeah, I know there are a lot of backward, holier-than-thou, Bible thumping Christian Wannabe's out there, but there are also loving giving sharing Christians, who speak with their actions.

So, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter, and took at least a mimnute out of the day to contemplate that it is THE Christian Holiday that is the proof of all the others.

So rejoice, HE is risen!
