Happy Easter, everyone.
I know, I know...the liberal hate parade will soon begin at my front door for saying that.
I get so tired of hearing people complain about holidays. Their lives must be filled with dread and despair at the concept that anyone would wish someone a Happy Easter or a Merry Christmas. I mean, why would you want to wish happiness on your neighbor?
I think I know why they work so hard. Christians stole all the good holidays from Pagans...grand orgies in the middle of the street on Easter Sunday just wouldn't do for our moral society. Maybe they think turnabout is fair play. These people want to take away ALL of our holidays, though...and that's not right. These godless bastards want us all living in constant fear of the all knowing eye of the P.C. Brigade:
"You dare to give presents on Christmas? To the torture chamber!"
"You have the audacity to insult our homogenous way of life? Damn you to the fiery furnace!"
I wonder why these jerks think that just because I wish someone a Happy Easter, that I am somehow abdicating to the Christian belief that Christ rose on that day? Maybe I'm just wishing you a Happy Easter because for me, it's a day to celebrate LIFE. That's the true meaning of Easter, if you think about it. The Christians supplanted the holidays of fertility and celebration of life with...get it...a celebration of fertility and life. It's just a matter of how you look at it. It doesn't matter what face you put on it, the meaning is still the same.
There is a deeper magic...one with a face that we cannot see. Throughout the millenia, these faces have changed many times. Stop thinking that one is better than the other because they are all the same.
I guess what I'm really trying to say is that I don't give a damn WHAT you believe in. It doesn't matter if you are a Christian, Buddhist, Muslim, Pagan...whatever. What matters is that you spend today with people you love or care about, laughing and having a good time. In other words, stop trying so hard and just be happy.
