As you know, I am an atheist. Many people believe that is because I am too ignorant of the facts of Christianity. Of course, I argue that I know more about the Bible and religions in general than many of my Christian friends. But that does not matter to them, because I can never argue the whole “faith”component of religion, which some people fall back on when I question their logic.
So, here is a chance to make me smart.
Can anyone tell me what do the Easter Bunny and chicken eggs have to do with:
A. Each other
B. The resurrection of Jesus
For that matter, what do Santa Clause and shopping malls have to do with the birth of Jesus?
Obviously, I am being facetious and am not so stupid as to believe that those pagan rituals and Hallmark creations have ANYTHING to do with the true meaning of the holidays. But, every once in a while it bears remembering…for both Christians and non-Christians.
Happy Easter everyone who is celebrating and Happy Day for all who are not.
I love these holidays, Christian or otherwise, and take them as an opportunity to reflect on the things that mean the most to me. So please know, I am forever grateful for your friendships, tolerance and your words!
