Well, now I’m pissed. I get back from vacation just<\/em> in time for band practice, and show up only to discover that nobody can come because of Easter. OK, I’m not actually opposed to celebrations and all that, but nobody in the band is Christian. So they’re off celebrating the glorious resurrection and ascension of somebody they don’t believe in. Well, they all have families, so I guess I can’t blame them.<\/p>\n

And hey, it was a beautiful if somewhat overcast spring day, and I was enjoying the drive home, and thinking about the whole resurrection story. Let’s see, the grave turns up emtpy, and nobody, absolutely nobody has seen the body except for Jesus’s disciples, or should we say accomplices? Well, it is somewhat suspicious, after all; three days after he’s buried, a religious cult leader’s body turns up missing. What is the most likely scenario:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. His followers stole and hid the body.<\/li>\n
  2. Winged supermen opened the tomb, then Jesus came back to life, stopped in to say hello to his chosen few (and nobody else), and flew up into the sky.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hmm. Let’s see, while I can see clearly how number two is much<\/em> more believable, I can’t help thinking that there’s at least a small possibility that 1 could have happened.<\/p>\n

    (Twitter version: band practice cancelled 4 easter WTF? can you believe PPL actually fall 4 that sales pitch? LOL!)<\/p>\n

    [edit] Hmm, other scenarios come to mind. 3) buried in mass grave with other simultaneously-executed criminals, historical account completely made-up<\/em> comes to mind, but lacks a certain…you know. Style.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
