Happy long weekend eating chocolate!

[Number One]

Long weekend off work eating too much chocolate that's all it means to me. I've never been involved n any religion in what I'd call a meaningful way and though I believe in 'something' I don't believe in the Jesus or Christ fellas...so for me Easter is a 'thanks to those of you who believe that stuff, and all your predecessors' for without them I could not have a long weekend off work where everyone is encouraged to over eat on chocolate.

Now i dont say any of the above to stir or offend i believe to each his own and that we are all welcome to have differing views on this stuff. This isn't meant to turn into the Scottish thread juif you are thinking you might recruit a lost soul in me think again...what im interested in is how others value and choose to focus their time and or energy - enjoyment during this 'religious holiday'.

For those of you that do do the religious celebration stuff, what does it all involve? No sermons please just a high level idea of what you get up to.

Easter and christ is a sham. We are meant to be celebrating the sun or more precisely the northern hemisphere spring equinox.

It's all about the Sun (giver of life). Sun god. Sun of God etc.
Horus, Attis, Krishna, Dionysus, Mithra, Buddha, Jesus and dozens of others all arrived by immaculate conception. All were known as the sons of Sun/God and King of kings. All were crucified and resurrected after 3 days.

What are the odds

The truth is told beautifully in this youtube

The link between the zodiac, stars and the birth of Christ (in Bethlehem LoL) is so clear. As is the link between the various crucifixions, 3 days of death before resurrection, and the Sun cycles (at its weakest/dying) when for a period of 3 days it is aligned under the southern cross (death on the cross) and the spring equinox/Easter is of course the re-birth of the Sun and the various sons of god over the last 10,000 years.

Great stuff and all indicative that lunacy of this nature is based in the northern hemisphere.

Jesus is one of many, many names for the lead character in the same old story, recycled over 10,000 years with characters refreshed and used to suit the stage of the period/race/region/power hungry corrupter. All birthed in the ancient study of astronomy, the Zodiac our sun it's seasons and the miracle of life (early science).

Someone should probably be suing for copyright

That's my contribution to our Easter celebrations. Give credit where credit is due. Stop with this nonsense of worshiping false gods and their sons. There are no gods and no children of god.

Ok cool. So how do you use the holiday then? Sun praising ceremony in a field?

Tobacco beer and weed are the staples. Chocolate doesn't rate.
