Easter
By Mitch Berg
Easter is, always, my favorite time of the year. Much as I love Christmas and Thanksgiving (and I do – for very different reasons), and as hard as it is to resist the temptation to yell “Hey, Atheists – eat flaming hot redemption!, Easter is still the place to which all spiritual and emotional roads lead.
So may God bless you and your families this Easter.

Thanks Mitch. Happy Easter to you and yours. “He is risen!”

Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.
Easter is still the place to which all spiritual and emotional roads lead.
For you and that’s great. For those of us who believe that the life of Jesus and his actions were what made him great, not the mythology of his resurrection, which incidently is a common theme that predates Christianity by thousands of years, spring is a season to celebrate the return of life and a time to reflect on the value of selflessness.
That being said, I hope you have a good Easter and that God/Wakan Tonka/Yahweh blesses and watch’s over you and yours each and every day.

You gotta love someone who uses a Biblical injunction against judging others to, well, judge others.
No, I mean it. You gotta love ’em. Jesus told us to.

you will be judged, and with the measure you use
And since the “Measure” I used was a nudge and a wink and happiness about the resurrection and a wish that all could feel part of that happiness, I’m fine with that.
Sorry if that harshes your judgemental mellow!
But seasons’ greetings to you!

I’m pretty confident that even Mitch understands I was just tweaking his nose.
And Kermit, Jesus commanded that we should love our neighbor but he never said we had to like them.

That’s especially true concerning you, Mr. Doug.

“He is Risen, Indeed!”
May we all meet in Glory on the other side.

Hey Kerm, if Jesus told you to jump off a bridge, would you?
You could always follow His example and get yourself nailed to something.

Jeez, Clown – still sore about that?
It was a fraternity prank! Let it go! Move on!

I could follow Jesus example and sacrifice myself for a greater good? How perfectly UnDemocratic!

Mitch slandered: “It was a fraternity prank! Let it go! Move on!”
Jesus was a Chi Rho, Nazareth College, Class of 21. He was pledged immediately after turning water into beer at the frat’s big fall rush party in Cana.
Bet you blame AE Pi, by the way.

Clown’s lips moved, but I couldn’t hear what he’s saying…
Chi Rho…pledged…rush party…AE Pi
No hablo Frat, ‘mano.
Where I went to school, we used Greeks for firewood.

Could only get into state school, eh?
Chi Rho? A Christian symbol – first two letters of Christ (“Christos”) in Greek.
Looks like you just got schooled on Jesus by Angryclown. I’ll let ya Google Cana.
AE Pi = a national Jewish frat.

Yeah, I remember the ChiRo bit…
As to frats in general, am blissfully, thankfully clueless.
