Intentions & Actions
Happy Easter to my Christian friends, Happy Passover to my Jewish friends, and Happy Spring to all here at EVC. Regardless of our religion, race, or creed, surely we all can see Spring as a time for new life and a time to rekindle the hope that perhaps one day man can set aside his differences enough to realize the dream of peace and prosperity for all mankind.
Indeed. Symbolism represents intentions. Actions are up to us.

When I use a word, Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, it means just what I choose it to meannothing more nor less.

Re: Happy Easter (Go Avalanche?)
Funny though how sports teams and favorite players are mentioned as many times in the media and nobody seems offended. Just sayin.

Re: Happy Easter (Go Avalanche?)
oh subbie! I was just kidding you! One mans delusion is another mans belief, so they say.
I dont know if it matters so much what one believes as it does what one actually does on a daily basis....for some, yesterday(4/20) was an opportunity to get high and celebrate pot. For others, their belief---delusional though it logically is---that Jesus was alive and all was well with the universe made them want to share their "drug" with others. What did you do on sunday?

Pagan Fertility versus Spiritual Maturity
My point was that the Church didn't steal these things, but rather they were foisted upon the Church as a result of the coincidence of dates and the residual paganism of the laity.
Some argue that the exact same residual paganism exists today---in different forms.
The False Promise of the Prosperity Gospel
Jesus was never raised from the dead so that we could be prosperous.
Perhaps the next question is what He was raised for.
