Easter - a holiday for everyone |
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=49427
By Greg Laurie
I heard about an atheist who was a little bit upset because of all the
holidays that people of faith celebrated. He said to a friend, "You
Christians have Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate their holidays like
Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists don't have recognized holidays.
It's unfair discrimination."
His friend thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, you atheists could
celebrate April 1. That could be your holiday. You know, April Fool's Day.
It fits, because 'the fool has said in his heart there is no God.'"
And that is, in fact, what the Bible tells us in Psalm 14:1 and 53:1.
However, Easter is for everyone. It is not about bunnies or brightly colored
eggs, however. Rather, it is about Jesus, and specifically, it is about
Jesus crucified and risen again from the dead.
I don't know how you might describe your life this Easter. Maybe you are
full of faith and looking forward to joining your family and friends at
church and perhaps a special meal later in the day. If everything is going
well for you, then praise God for that.
For others, it might be a different story. Easter might be a reminder, like
Christmas, of someone who is no longer with them. And with every year that
passes, that loved one is remembered and missed. So for some, Easter is a
bittersweet day.
Death can seem so cruel, so harsh and so final. And that is exactly how the
disciples felt when they saw the beaten, bloodied body of their Lord hanging
on a Roman cross. Then, in addition to the crucifixion, a Roman soldier took
his spear, thrust it into Jesus' side, and out of it came blood and water.
There was no question about it. Christ had died. And if the crucifixion
hadn't killed him, certainly the spear of the Roman soldier would have. The
disciples thought it was over. They thought death had finished it.
If they would have thought back, they would have remembered this was the
same Lord who had raised people from the dead. He raised the daughter of
Jairus. He raised Lazarus after he already was in the process of
decomposition. And if they would have thought back, they would have
remembered that on the day Lazarus was raised, Jesus said, "I am the
resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he
shall live" (John 11:25 NKJV). But it is hard to see through eyes that have
been blinded by tears.
So the disciples were shocked to find an angel waiting for them with the
good news: "Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was
crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him"
(Mark 16:6 NKJV). They thought He was dead. But He was alive again.
Because Jesus has died and has risen again, it means that we as believers do
not have to be afraid of death. As 1 Corinthians 15:20 tells us, "But the
fact is that Christ has been raised from the dead. He has become the first
of a great harvest of those who will be raised to life again" (NLT). Jesus
has gone to the other side, He has returned, and He has the keys to death
and hell (see Revelation 1:18).
It's hard for us to accept that our bodies are wearing out. Yet the Bible
says we will have new bodies one day: "We, too, wait anxiously for that day
when God will give us our full rights as his children, including the new
bodies he has promised us" (Romans 8:23 NIV).
You see, my body is not the real me. The real me is my soul, my spirit. This
body will die. But my soul will live on. One day, you may open up the
newspaper and read that Greg Laurie died. But don't you believe a word of
it, because at the moment you read that I have died, I will be more alive
than I have ever been before in the presence of God. And the same could be
said for every believer.
And here is the message of Jesus: You are going to see your loved ones
again. You will be with them. Not only are they a part of your past, but
they are also part of your future. He is the resurrection and the life, and
if we believe in Him, though we were dead, yet shall we live.

Do you seriously believe that anyone here believe the fables that your
are STEALING from other websites? They've been told a million times and
besides a few morons like you, no one find them even remotely amusing
anymore...
How about coming with ideas OF YOUR OWN for a change...
Gee, you're pathetic, J fucking Young...
Besides, why do you care so much what we believe in or not?
Shouldn't you just pray for us instead and leave us alone? GET A

Yes. Stupid fucking bastards, were they not? I mean, a God-man that
was born of a virgin convinces you to leave home and family behind to
follow him, performs astounding miracles before your very eyes,
foretells his own betrayal and death with uncanny accuracy, yet you
still don't believe until the SOB presents his formerly deceased self
bodily in front of the lot of you. Hell, most of you christians
believe with vastly more faith than THAT, having only millenia-old,
fourth-hand accounts available to you, yet you believe more fervently
than the disciples themselves, who saw all this miraculous ***** in
person. How pathetic is THAT? And who decided to make saints out of
these faithless idiots?

Because you don't discuss anything. You steal the contents of your
posting, present that as a fact -of course, the most outrageous, the
best- and present yourself as a virtuous man.
If you REALLY were religious, you'd know that Jesus fought all his life
against people like you... while forgiving the thief who was crucified
with him...
Think about that...

Perhaps it is the release of the pent-up frustration we live with, from
being constantly surrounded by people like you, who will insist on the
absolute truth of the most outrageous stories of poorly documented
miracles from long ago, then denounce as "lacking proof" one of the
most fundamental theories of biology, for which there is overwhelming
evidence from multiple disciplines.
(I do not know if you are a Creationist or not, but they certainly do
exist in abundance. My apologies if you are not).

Some of the smarter Christians believe rabbits lay eggs. Springtime is
the time of fertility rites. Ask Igor Stravinsky. Or the party girls
at spring break. The sun has risen beyond the equinox, the snow is
melting, and the beer gods have awakened. The flower-tops have bloomed,
and the wheat-straw papers have thawed. Maybe someone at the party saw
some dude with a beard rise into the sky. Maybe not. Party on.

Some of the smarter Christians believe rabbits lay eggs. Springtime is
the time of fertility rites. Ask Igor Stravinsky. Or the party girls at
spring break. The sun has risen beyond the equinox, the snow is melting,
and the beer gods have awakened. The flower-tops have bloomed, and the
wheat-straw papers have thawed. Maybe someone at the party saw some dude
with a beard rise into the sky. Maybe not. Party on.

Ah, yes, Easter. We celebrate the feast of Ostara the pagan fertility

LC~ Wondering why an admitted non-Bible thumper like crazy J incessantly
trolls with the religious media?
"JYoung has been infesting talk.abortion for ages, and I'm quite
familiar with his proclivities. He also posts as "IBen Getiner" (sp?)

fun responding to him rationally - or with a flame."

What does this have to do with abortion or the Freedom of Choice?

By Greg Laurie
I heard about an atheist who was a little bit upset because of all the
holidays that people of faith celebrated. He said to a friend, "You
Christians have Christmas and Easter. And Jews celebrate their holidays like
Passover and Yom Kippur. But we atheists don't have recognized holidays.
It's unfair discrimination."
His friend thought about it for a moment and said, "Well, you atheists could
celebrate April 1. That could be your holiday. You know, April Fool's Day.
It fits, because 'the fool has said in his heart there is no God.'"
And if even a fool can see that, what the ***** is your excuse?

However, Easter is for everyone. It is not about bunnies or brightly colored

Sorry. Jeebus was a fucking *****.
I'm going to pretend to kill myself so I can forgive you for being
what I made you.
How stupid is that? That's the best the CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE can
come up with!?!?!?
Whoa!!!... And I thought the IRS was fucked!
