Quite literally it is a celebration of the rising of a zombie, and his escape from the cave that the townspeople blocked with a giant boulder to contain him.
And if that were not creepy enough people compound that by reinforcing the mythology of a giant rabbit breaking into their homes to leave false idols of itself made from chocolate, and hiding eggs in every nook and cranny in the hopes that at least one will remain undiscovered until it begins to rot and permeates their house with a sulfur like aroma reminiscent of the darkest corners of a hell that awaits them if they do not promise their very souls to their zombie overlord.
And people wonder why I am not religious.
Update: According to Slate 40% of Christian believe that Jesus will return in the next forty years.
It is worth noting that the very earliest Christians believed that Jesus would return in their lifetimes and this lie has been stretched out over thousands of years, and is reinforced as fact to every new batch of Christians that come along.
For those of us who cannot believe how long Sarah Palin has managed to tease people into believing she will run for the Presidency, we need to remember that she is fishing in a pool of people conditioned into being deceived.
One hundred years from now there will be ministers once again promising their congregations that Jesus is about to rise again, and who will continue to benefit financially from the dangling of that bait. My hope is that the flock they are fleecing will have greatly diminished by that time.
I love people and I hate to see them manipulated over and over again.
Like most so-called "christian celebrations" the Easter bunny( signifying life, sex, and reproduction) and the gift giving(candy) in spring after a long winter of going without are pagan traditions. All the Christians have is their Zombie Jesus and apparently it isn't as child friendly as fertile rabbits and sweets.

ReplyDeleteWhen Jesus steps out of the cave, if he sees his shadow, we will have six more weeks of winter.
What about the PRESENTS? You mean he's not going to bring presents?? And I've been so good too.......

The full text of Pope Francis’ Easter Homily has been translated into English. And it seems he’s continuing to upset apple carts. The theme is the role of women and change.

DeleteHalf of Christians Think Jesus Will Return Within 40 Years
ReplyDeleteAs Christians worldwide prepare for Easter, a time of reflection on Jesus’ death and a celebration of his resurrection, many seem to be looking forward as well.
The above chart, from a Pew Research Center survey on the religious beliefs of Christians in the United States, shows that about half believe Jesus will either definitely or probably return in the next 40 years.
Theologians and scholars have debated the Second Coming for centuries, arguing over when it will happen, if it can be predicted, and signs showing its imminent arrival. The Bible states that no one but God knows when Jesus will return and that the return will be swift and unexpected: “No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come.”
Still, predicting when and where Jesus will return is a popular business. Christians, popes, Mormonism’s founder, modern-day biblical teachers like Harold Camping, and countless others have all tried and failed. People have coveted knowledge of the Second Coming for millennia, and, if history is any example, predictions will continue to roll out as time goes on—that is, if 40 years pass by and Jesus is still nowhere to be seen.

ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, I guess??? No thanks, Jesse, not if you don't mean it. I have to tell you, you're losing me, Jesse. I usually skip over your posts on religion, or your thoughts on your lack of it and the uselessness of it, but this one caught my eye. Maybe because I'm awake way too early this morning, or because I feel it is directed at me (although I'm not even an Easter and Christmas Christian), this feels mean. I read your blog because it usually brings interesting, thoughtful, and funny information to your readers, at least to me, but recently it is veering in a different direction from that which it was headed when I began reading three-ish years ago (you know, when "she" became a household word). I know you work hard at it, and you must work all hours, too, and thanks for that. I just couldn't keep this to myself this morning. Now I'm going to find those eggs. (Robin in Colorado)
Robin, get a grip. Gryphen stays true to his beliefs and points of view. It's his blog, if you don't like it FUCK OFF! It's that simple. Whining like a stuck pig is lame and pretty stupid, but maybe you had to just get your rocks off this morning with an attack on Gryphen. Do you make it a habit of going into people's homes and shitting on their carpet? That's exactly what you just did. Kindly take your sanctimonious crap and put it where it belongs...up your ass!
DeleteI like eggs and bunny rabbits and I am glad for posts like this. When I don't find something interesting or don't like it, I skip over it.
DeleteRobin - go jump. We put up with Christian holiday "specialness" a whole bunch.
DeleteWant to buy a bottle of wine to cook with - can't on a Sunday in my state - holdover of xtian crap.
Want my kids to be off for winter or spring break when convenient fro me and my family vacation? Can't Xmas/Easter timed breaks because of Xtianity - and this is a PUBLIC school.
Wanted to shop day - local grocery store is closed Easter, you know.,
I also have to hear a barrage of "Happy Easter" and "Merry Christmas" an attempt to inculcate that lie about Xtian origins of everything.
I don't have this attitude towards any other religion, because Passover, Diwali and the Chinese moon festival have an effect on my life only if I choose to let them.
So your sentiments are extremely misplaced, thoughtless and offensive to this atheist.
I think a few of the responses like fuck-off and go jump are what's changing the tenor of this blog. Some of you are so intolerant of anybody who ever questions or disagrees. Even Jesse told someone to not let the door hit them in the ass when they dared mention the change of tone lately. I know he's lost several very long-.time supporters. I'm an atheist and sn extremely progressive, snarky, and sarcastic person myself, but some of the responses here are just seactionary to any dissent that it shuts down discourse.

DeleteLast I checked this is Jesse's blog not a campaign website. It's a blog he writes to discuss things important to him or get things off his chest. You mention him "losing supporters" when it's not as if he is running for office or getting any financial gain from this blog, thus we visit here not as "supporters" but as commenters who share some of his views.
Yeah Asshole@ 7:11. Try wishing someone a good Ramadan at the local Walmart and see what happens.
DeleteI'd tell you to fuck off, but frankly fucking is good and you don't deserve a wish to feel good.
Be careful attacking someone who dares to criticize this blog... or you'll start to look like those people at C4P.
DeleteNothing wrong with criticism. Nothing wrong with saying "I disagree". Attacking the poster... let's leave that to the intolerant folks at C4P.
Kudos to Jesse for not being the type to "sanitize" his blog like they do at C4P. They'll delete anything that isn't posted by the most brainwashed followers of SP.
And while I'm thinking about it: Check out the Open Thread over there. They're freaking out over "trolls" who down-arrow their comments. I guess that's one aspect of their silly little website that they can't sanitize. I down-arrowed a couple of comments myself. Not because I didn't like the comment (really didn't care), but because it's keeps their focus on something besides Dear Leader's remarkable resemblance to Jesus Christ, or something like that.
BriANUS has compared Sarah to the Resurrection. I kid you not.
I love the Open Thread. Whack-a-doodle Central.
And to Robin: Happy Easter (sincerely)
>>Some of you are so intolerant of anybody who ever questions or disagrees.
DeleteBoy are YOU off base. The comment about fucking off had to do with an attack on Jesse. It had nothing to do with questions or disagreements. To you I say FUCK OFF, just as easily, and just as readily. You've misread the original point and skewed it to fit your sorry agenda. Progressive my ass, you can't see the forest for the trees and you just wanted to get your digs in too. The arrogance that you exhibit is stunning thinking that you have ANY say about how Jesse conducts his blog. Go get your own goddamn blog and control it, instead of coming here and bitching. God I get so sick of you sanctimonious assholes, I'd like to smack you upside the head and knock some sense into your pea brains. IT IS JESSE'S BLOG. GET THE FUCK OVER IT. Got it? If Jesse has 'lost supporters' as you say, then bravo, since those 'supporters' obviously are not strong enough in their own beliefs to allow Jesse to have his and to express it on HIS BLOG. It isn't his job to placate his readers, to pander to meal mouthed whiners. It's his job to express who he is, how he feels and thinks. And I for one appreciate his candor, his integrity, his creative writing, his willingness to stay true to his heart. Good on ya, Jesse.

We celebrate Spring, or Ostara, on the Equinox.

When the killer tornado ripped through Alabama in April, 2011 the only relief game in town was Samaritan's Purse,the outreach of Franklin Graham's "disaster ministry". Being a non believer, did not stop me from wanting to volunteer to help heal and rebuild. I got to where when asked about my faith I would give a stock answer: "I believe in the teachings of Jesus to always do good and to teach by example, but I don't belong to any organized faith". I left after a month when our work shifted from doing actual tornado damage repair, to just fixing up houses to suck people into the church.

I like the pagan version of Easter. Eggs, chicks and rabbits. No zombies, please.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I was emotionally traumatized as a child by a minister whose sermon was that our sins (and he pointed to each member in the congregation) nailed Jesus to the cross. YOU YOU YOU! YOUR sins he bellowed at me. I was maybe six or seven, and was just stricken.
Please continue to ridicule these asshats. Half the crazy in our country comes from the End-Timers, hoping Jesus comes back and justifies their stockpiles of guns and bullets.
Ha! I can totally identify with the trauma and I still love bunnies. I even get a laugh with the bad ones.

10 Things You Didn’t Know About Easter (But Really Should)
ReplyDeleteIf Spring is here, can Easter be far behind? Or is it the other way around? Either way, the two are as entwined as roses and Valentine’s Day, as Halloween and pumpkins, as Winter and Christmas. That’s no accident, as you will see…
1. Easter falls on a different date each year. Have you ever wondered why that is? Technically, Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full Moon after the Vernal Equinox. Kind of a weird way to determine a holiday for a monotheistic religion, don’t you think? How did this method of reckoning Easter’s date come about? It was a way to steal the thunder from another popular god, whose cult was Christianity’s biggest rival. The worship of Attis and Cybele was very popular in Rome as late as the 3rd century. Attis was a soter, or savior, god who was reborn each year. This resurrection was celebrated beginning on the Friday after the full moon after the Vernal equinox (now Good Friday). It culminated on the following Sunday -three days later. Since they were rivals, Christianity adopted the date for their soter and, once the Cybele cult faded, Christians had to keep the date since that was when everybody was used to celebrating the holiday.
2. The name, “Easter” comes from a goddess: Her name was Eostre and She was the Mother Goddess of the Saxons of Northern Europe. She was, according to Grimm (yes, one of those Grimms), “goddess of the growing light of spring.” One interesting theory posits that Eostre was the embodiment of the bright, growing half of the year while Holda was the cold, dark winter personified. The dates of Easter are so close to Walpurgisnacht that they may have been concurrent at one time, the night giving way to the first day of Summer. This would make Ostara (the German name for Her holiday) a time of transition. Early in the history of Christianity, many pagan observances were adapted for the new faith. The early missionaries discovered that it was easier to get converts to celebrate a new name than it was a new date.
3. There were several soter gods who were very similar to Jesus in pre-Christian cultures. Attis (as mentioned previously), Adonis, Tammuz, Dammuzi, Dionysos, Marduk, Amun and many others have a mythology that parallels that of Jesus. Now, some Christians will use the convenient “satan did it to confuse us” to explain these away. But many others are interested to learn about this phenomenon. Being born of a Virgin, hanging “between earth and sky,” dying and arising again after 3 days… these and other details occur in all stories of a savior god. I won’t go into more detail here (don’t have the room!) but the book, Pagan Christs by by John M. Robertson will fascinate anyone interested in delving deeper.
4. Why eggs and why color them?
http://www.addictinginfo.org/2013/03/28/10-things-you-didnt-know-about-easter-but-really-should/
The early missionaries discovered that it was easier to get converts to celebrate a new name than it was a new date.
DeleteIt has always been about manipulating suckers.
But Gryphen, these people LIVE to be deceived. It kind of takes over the Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy and Easter Bunny myths that peter out when you're six or seven. Every hard-core "Christian" I know (not exaggerating) seems to want to stay in that mental age range where the mysteries of Fate are easily explained by fables, symbols, idols and merit (good/bad). So we have the money-grubbin' Church, Jesus, God, angels, devils and at the end, Heaven and Hell. My absolute favorite is an acquaintance of mine who waits for last-minute "miracles" to save her when she makes the same mistakes over and over, and begins each day by saying: "God, I EXPECT you to do this and that for me." She's already declared bankruptcy twice and won't accept advice from anyone--she has to "pray on things."
ReplyDeleteOh well, happy Spring and don't run into any sadistic-looking bunnies.
Again, See Freud, Sigmund. In addition to Gryphen, Jesse, of course ;-)
DeleteI'm sure that this person also disparages people who don't take "personal responsibility for their actions" either...
DeleteAs most of us know, many holidays celebrated as secular events originally began as pagan rituals rife with wild traditions and colorful superstition that later evolved into religious ones. From Halloween to Christmas and, certainly, Easter, the symbols and often arcane images and rites that accompany these holidays are a strange and sometimes confusing mix of sacred and secular. In a piece called 10 Things You Didn’t Know About Easter (But Really Should), my colleague breaks down many of these traditions and explains their origins… fascinating stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut clearly the most salient association made with Easter, regardless of religious affiliation, is the Christian celebration of the rise of Jesus from the dead (well, that and Easter bunnies and chocolate!). For many Christians – Protestant and Catholic alike – the Easter story is a beautiful metaphor, a symbol of rising above anguish and adversity to triumph and transcend. For others, it’s as literal as the nose on their face and any attempt to question the science of it is pushed aside as “a mystery of faith.” I remember, as a young girl being raised in a traditional Catholic home, that the literal translation mystified me; I wanted to know how a dead man could climb out of a cave and, later, ascend his physical body up through super-heated atmospheric gases without getting burnt to a crisp. This blasphemous pondering often left me out in the hall during religious classes and later out the door all together, but the point here is that sacred belief is a matter of… well, BELIEVING. If you want facts, proof, logic, science, you’re in the wrong building.
And so, with Easter being widely and globally celebrated this weekend, the matter of what the traditions mean comes into high relief. And a question follows those Easter traditions: while the rising of Jesus from the dead is celebrated on Easter, what of another powerful Christian belief that is a natural addendum to that event… the Second Coming? The Pew Center had thought about that too and decided the season of Easter was a meaningful moment in which to republish a poll they did a few years ago, putting the following question to waiting Christians:
“I’m going to read you a list of things that may or may not happen in the next 40 years. Please tell me how likely you think it is…that Jesus Christ will return to earth. Do you think that will definitely happen, will probably happen, will probably NOT happen, or will definitely not happen?”
The chart illustrates their compiled answers:

Gryphen I think your out of line here. Not every Christian is a Republican (I consider myself part of the Christian Left) and loves them some George Bush. You come across as bad as the Duggars, judgmental.
ReplyDeleteI did not say that all Christians are Republicans.
DeleteI simply said that people conditioned to have faith even in the face of overwhelming evidence are easy to deceive.
There is a reason why there are numerous scams aimed specifically at Christians.
Sarah Palin, Mike Huckabee, Pat Robertson, and Jerry Falwell were all smart enough to figure that out.
Add in Hyles Anderson, Jack, Schaap, the Grahams, etc. Hang with dupes and the label is likely rub off on you, SP has Serpents...
DeleteSPHASH,
DeleteYou do not come across as very Christian. The Christians I know try very hard not to judge others, however, they do not always succeed and must ask forgiveness from their God. I hope you take a moment and ask for forgiveness today because you've let you hate for Sarah Palin and her family drive you to say some very mean things.
If you are going to talk the talk, you must walk the walk
I'm not Kristy, I'm not a Christian, just an observer calling it as I see it.
That's funny, 6:15am calling others "judgmental". Her blog is about as judgement as you can get, in fact the blog exists for no other purpose THAN to judge. She doesn't seem to be very family with the teachings of Jesus Christ, that's for certain.

"For those of us who cannot believe how long Sarah Palin has managed to tease people into believing she will run for the Presidency, we need to remember that she is fishing in a pool of people conditioned into being deceived."
ReplyDeleteThis is one Sigmund Freud's criticisms of religion -being conditioned not to think, accepting canned answers in one area of your life religion) leads to lack of critical thinking in others.
If it makes you feel any better - even the term Easter is stolen from the Pagans. See this non-thinking Xtians can't do anything original. Easter is a corruption of the Germanic goddess, Eostre's name.
See here:

Even that virgin birth thing is a rip off.
I like this comment from the guardian.co.uk:
Delete"Celebrate spring and the rebirth seen in flowers and trees as well as the fact that chickens start laying eggs again and the first lambs and other animals are born (and thus the male lambs and young rabbits and eggs can be eaten - a useful source of protein for our ancestors who had been slowly starving throughout the winter), but leave religion, be it pagan or other, out of it, OK?"
People deceive, and the Easter Bunny and such are celebratory factors that came in because people in general are social beings and need to liven things up. It has nothing to do with the resurrection.
ReplyDelete"If any among you thinks he is religious, and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this one's religion is useless". James 1:27 -
If christians are deceived it's because they don't read or care to learn because they prefer to feel superior and judge and torment others. I know, I'm really disappointed in the spectacle of the so-called christian right too and I'm a believer. But faith is something that can't be defined. And this kind of faith is not in people, it's in a loving God. And I haven't had to search further after reading, "cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you".
I know, though, that men's wicked hearts have destroyed any good semblance of what the gospels stand for. And they become a stumbling-block to all souls who may feel a sense to enter in. And yes, we can be so heavenly minded, we are no earthly good. It's a real shame.
Gryphen, if it's too late to submit my annual Easter/Passover message to the tiny handful of dead-enders who still read your defunct blog for 2013, will you please hold on to it and post it in 2014? To be completely honest about it, my Easter/Passover message never changes from year to year anyways.
ReplyDelete======================
Dear friends, have you ever noticed that nearly all organized religions - and quite a few of the hopelessly disorganized ones - give lip-service appreciation to The All Mighty Creator for His miraculous Universe and The Laws Of Nature that govern that Universe, also, too, but then all the REAL celebration occurs around the Magic That Defies Those Very Laws of Nature? The floating angels, the virginian births, the resurrections, the floods, the bushes that burn, the bread and shower curtains that molder impressively in His image, the seas that part, the snakes and trees that talk, the oil that lasts 8 days, the turning of everyday materials to salt, wine, noodle kugel, etc Why isnt the WHOLE AWE-INSPIRING AMAZING FREAKING UNIVERSE enough to appreciate the Big Guy? Why does He have to do magic tricks to impress us?
And that concludes my sermon for today. Please fill the offering plate generously today as I'm taking a fabulous babe to Applebee's after the service.
======================
Gryphen, please mimeograph this message and send it over to the various pastors, priests, reverends, rabbis, ministers, gurus, imams and yogis in the area for presentation to their respective flocks? Try to get to it right way, ok? Thanks!
Gryphen, as a cheerful and committed non-believer, I want to say I'm looking forward to spending Eternity in the Afterlife discussing the folly of organized religion with your merry band of IM skeptics and theo-anarchists.

ReplyDeleteIf Jesus is coming in the next 40 years (has been since Day One and that was a LOT more than 40 years ago, but I digress)... If Jesus is coming in the next 40 years, most of us older people will already be dead.
If we are Christian and are dead, aren't we ALREADY with Jesus in heaven? So what does him coming in our lifetimes matter?
If they want Jesus to come and take away their problems, why not just commit suicide and go on to Heaven today?
I mean, don't they all agree that "as long as you believe Jesus is the Savior you will go to Heaven no matter what sin you commit"?
This is a serious question, can someone enlighten me?

ReplyDeleteDetroitSam • 4 days ago−
Fact: Palin will not run for office in 2014, 2016 or any other year. She if just grifting for money to support her travels.What are her qualifications for running for, say President? Her journalism degree (or is it a communication degree) from which one of the five colleges she attended? Is it her great ability to speak the English language? Surely no one believes that she writes that crap she spouts.Palin lacks the intellectual, analytical and rhetorical skills to have a competent discussion about policy or much else of substance. This woman will never put herself in a position to have to discuss issues with anyone, even fellow republicans.She may be a favorite of the teabaggers, nut-jobbers, the uneducated and low information types in the republican party but no one with a ounce of knowledge will elect her.
Game Change.
Sarah Palin will never go on Face The Nation or any news shows like that.
DeleteSarah Palin is a coward that prefers Facebook and her controlled speaking appearances where she can choose not to have any questions to having pre-screened questions where she will have answers already written for her.
Sarah Palin will never debate anybody or have an intellectual conversation anywhere.
Sarah Palin is stupid but not that stupid to go on Face The Nation.
I never liked the Easter Bunny ritual. It gave me nightmares as a kid.
ReplyDeleteEven more perplexing is people dressing up their dogs and having professional photos done with the easter bunny at Petsmart.
Wanna guess my favorite scene from "Fatal Attraction"?
We just celebrate the return of spring and more hours of daylight, but the term "Happy Easter" doesn't bother us at all.
WTF?
ReplyDeleteIs Joan Rivers wife swapping with Bristol Palin?
We can’t think of anything more hilarious.
Production sources tell RumorFix exclusively that Celebrity Wife Swap had a higher premiere than last year, so ABC has ordered a few new shows and comedian Joan Rivers is already locked in.
So, the producers are looking for Joan’s perfect match — and high on the list is Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol Palin, who has a four-year-old son, Tripp.
We’re also told that producers have their eyes on Jersey Shore break out star Nicole Polizzi, who has a seven-month old son, Lorenzo LaValle.Sounds like producers will have their hands full and viewers are in for a crazy ride!

I doubt that she'll do it. Hasn't Bristol humiliated her son, herself and her family enough? If Bristol does this show then she will no longer be considered borderline retarded. Bristol will be considered full blown retarded.
DeleteWhen you are uneducated, unskilled with no talent like the Palin kids then they'll do whatever for their day under the sun.
