Happy Zombie Jesus Day!

I decided to follow the Governor's lead and post fine works of art.

I was recently asked by an unseemly relative why a secular person such as myself celebrates Easter and the myriad of other supposedly "Christian" holidays. As anyone with beyond a rudimentary grasp of history knows, our modern Christian holidays are nothing more than pagan celebrations that have been painted over with the Jesus-brand brush of revisionist history. They haven't even bothered to remove the props used in days of yore. Eggs? Bunnies? They couldn't even be bothered to change the name. "Easter" is derived from the name of a fertility goddess.

I enjoy the historic aspects of tradition. Hunting eggs left by a magical bunny to symbolize fertility and sex during the Spring equinox is delightful. Claiming this all has something to do with Jesus' zombie rising from the dead is cognitive dissonance at its best. The only similarity is the idea of rebirth, being born again, which bears a vague resemblance to celebration of the rebirth of the Earth after a long, dark winter.

So I celebrate these hijacked "Christian" holidays with complete disregard for their modern meaning. Religious nutjobs have ruined enough things in this world. Screw them; I am making Easter the property of the heathens again.

Aww, those little girls are wrapping ribbons around a phallus. Adorable!
