Easter is my least favorite holiday of all religious
holidays around the world. I guess you could say Jesus was the first
zombie. The horrific reenactment year after year of a poor human being
being tortured to death is not my cup of tea.
The latest country to call for a modern crucifixion has been Saudi Arabia. http://ca.ibtimes.com/articles/450944/20130327/saudi-prosecutor-demands-...
Women have been crucified as little as 200 years ago. http://www.vatileaks.com/_blog/Vati_Leaks/post/The_crucifixion_of_women/
Real crucifixion reenactments occur yearly in the Philippines. http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/filipino-devotees-reenact-...
The first crucifixion came over 500 years before Jesus was born. http://www.bible.ca/d-history-archeology-crucifixion-cross.htm
Jesus was just the most famous of those ill-fated victims.
The mere sight of a cross hanging around a person's neck,nailed on a
wall over a bed, or anywhere in the home, or the great crosses that
adorn church roofs, make me physically ill. Hospitals that hold these
devices of torture as merciful are just plain creepy.
Our economy seems to be tied into these grueling,horrific holidays as
we parade about consuming chocolate,jelly beans, and buying clothes to
show off in church. "Look at my Basket," is the war cry of children.
Few can grasp the horror of the connection.
The origin of the Easter Basket is relatively new, and the first ones
contained seeds for this Spring festival.The origins change depending
on the country you live. http://www.dgreetings.com/easter/easter-basket-history.html
It has been and will always be a way to make money.It has little to
do with anything in the Bible, that so many followers find factual.
