Easter |
God and the good earth

Only when nomads settled on fertile soil did the notion of progress
found in Abrahamic religions take root

Easter is one of those occasions on which human beings entertain a
number of contradictory ideas. Christians celebrate a pagan fertility
cult, while non-believers make their biannual journey to church. People
whose lives are dominated by godless consumption give something up for
Lent. A society governed by science engages in the ritual sacrifice and
homeopathic magic - eggs and chicks and rabbits - required to induce
the earth to bear fruit.
