In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre. And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you. And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

He is risen indeed.

Happy Easter everyone.

 
Heh. I got a sketchpad in MY basket.  :cool:

Yes, it is customary in my family to exchange one small gift on Easter... in addition to chocolate. Don't look at me like that, I'm catholic.
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

Huh, a number of posts have either been deleted or split off.

I think that's because this thread is intended as celebration of the day.  Discussion would just start some random argument that would be best left to another thread.

I was celebrating too. :( History is fun.

So, uh, this is a genuine but awkward question: should we only post in here if we are a Christian?

If you want to celebrate, or post something cool about Easter, or about something you did during the day, then this thread is appropriate.  But if you want to be a Stop Having Fun Guy, or want to start an argument or debate, or want to post about something completely irrelevant (e.g. Derek Smart), please take it to the other thread. :p

Happy Easter everyone!
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Cool. Apparently he's doing a pretty good job.

Some similarities with the Moses story, too, I guess. I'm not sure I caught the 'little surprise later on', though.

EDIT: well this doesn't make much sense here any more.

Okay, what the ****. This thread has been moderated into incoherency.

Earlier I posted:

Okay. Should we stay out of the thread if we're not believers, then? I've always enjoyed Easter as a secular holiday, a celebration of spring and renewal, and a chance to bring families together, but if this thread is specifically about the religious component then that aspect may not fit here.

And the history of the holiday fascinates me (reasoning in the post above, probably edited in after you read it.)

So is it cool if we have secular appreciation in here?

and

Quote
...a lot of religious figures (Horus, Mithras, Krishna) share the general archetypes of Christ and even some of the particulars of the story, which presents a cheerful sort of commonality that one could take as either an indication of common divine inspiration or at least grounds for us all to get along a little better than we do.

Whether you're religious or not, the parallels between these faiths are fascinating, and in a sense lend credit to all of them for speaking to some sort of common truth, whether factual or metaphorical.

the upshot being, Easter is cool.

Guh, all this post-shuffling is frustrating. My Easter love has been reduced.

I'm devoted atheist, I posted.

Let's post a praise-only thread for every holiday, no matter how retarded!

edit: for the record, i meant to post this in the other thread

well either that or we can troll every "happy $holiday->name" thread that shows up. I'm sure that will make people like us.

I don't want to be that guy, especially since it appears other people may have already gotten here first, but what is the point of this thread other than to just go "yay easter!"

Isn't there a thread in here to talk about what happens to you?

  
I find lack of tolerance more retarded than holidays. Whether pro-religious or anti-, bigotry is bigotry.

But Happy Easter.

I seriously didn't intend to troll. I thought the history of Easter was fascinating, and I've always enjoyed it as a secular holiday.
