Ok, my friend sent me an email this morning that was just so funny I had to share some of it. See, the thing is that two nights ago, a friend of a friend was preaching on about how wonderful Christianity is, how there's absoultely zero truth to the fact that they utterly stole the idea for the Easter holiday from Pagans, and that basically, Christains are the only people who go around doing good deads. I have nothing wrong with people having a faith (including Christainity, although personally, I don't see the apeal) but come on you can't say Christainity hasn't been the cause of more shit since it's creation then Taco Bell, ok? I mean, sheesh. So anyway, I wanted to post the rant in the email because it brings up such good points and made me laugh. Joolo can be so funny when he rants.

Have a happy Easter. (oooh, I got so mad at K's little comment about how we shouldn't care that the Christians screwed up the real meaning of the holiday while genocidially killing the people who started it. She said, "That was like 2000 years ago, get over it." Hmmph! Who knew that there was a statute of limitation on genocide? I guess in K's little world we will all look back and laugh in 2000 years at the silly Nazis and their wacky deathcamps... Ha, gotta love the Christians- they HATE it when you point out that they are the most bloodthirsty and violet religion in the world, and want you to pretend that nothing in the past counts. Both K and my mom have the same argument- "Don't look at what was done in the past, just look at the few 'moderates'. Don't judge us by the extremists." Um, if those extremists are the exception and not the norm, why are they always the ones in power in Christian churches? If televangelists, priests, preachers, and so on, are the so-called 'extremists' then who are these 'moderates' listening to? Ugh, spare me. One last angry point here- I really, I mean REALLY, hate it when Christians make it seem that generosity, compassion, and sacrifice for others is somehow a Christian-exclusive trait. Um, hello? Everybody in the world has that kind of potential, and it has nothing to do with your dogma, dumbasses!!)

Rant done. Returing to normal mode.

Anyway, this is not a Christain-bashing Easter post, this is simply a discust at the level of denial people have and the lengths to which they will argue a point. It was just so outragous, it bordered on insane. Look, just fess up that there have been - and still are! - bad things going on by the Christain Church and I don't have a problem with you. If you're going to accept part of what they tell you or preach or whatnot, then you have to also accept that they are no where near perfect and that there's been some really nasty shit they've done as well.

Eh, done ranting myself. Happy Easter to the Christains, Happy Equinox to the Pagans, Happy Passover to the Jews, and Happy Day to the rest. lol :)
