(9,286 posts)I think the most important day of the year to the most predominant religion in the US counts as big news.
And to my understanding the hosts have a right and duty to use their better judgement and generally err on the side of not locking threads with lots of discussion.
Let the believers have their celebration. We nonbelievers have our own zombie jesus thread, and they were gracious enough not to lock it despite also potentially violating the SoP.
Lets all have some chocolate and enjoy the sunday!

(154,021 posts)myself, I actually found gluten free matzah... which is actually better than the real thing.
hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)That sound like a good idea. We have Gluten free communion hosts in the Episcopal Church.
I am glad this week is over.

hrmjustin
(71,265 posts)Yes it is 40 days till Ascension Thursday and 10 more days till Pentecost. So the church made it a 50 day season.

(81,127 posts)Such a nice day! Just happy all around! The boys are still in town (next tour doesn't start til Friday night), daughter and boyfriend are coming back tomorrow from Coachella, my best friend's in town, sunshine and not too hot, heard from my sister, really a lovely day! And the birds are all back, eating the birdseed I scattered, and there are eggs in the little nest tucked up in the eaves near the front door! That little nest suddenly appeared a year ago, and soon enough there was a little bird nesting in it. The eggs hatched conveniently right around Mother's Day! The babies grew and thrived and left about a month or so later I think, and it's been empty since then. BUT! Now somebody else has moved into the nest and it's the same species. We think it's either the parents again, from last year, or it's their hatchlings all grown up! Good times!
Everybody's happy and having a really lovely mellow enjoyable stress-free day (for a change!)! We usually have a houseful of people, but still, blessings great and small! Wonderful way to celebrate the Resurrection!

(19,803 posts)you don't .....cool. I have a sense of humor but on a thread labeled HAPPY EASTER, you know what your getting as well as a trip to a thread about 'Zombie Jesus'. I used to be an atheist until I figured out I don't know shit about anything and got off my I'm so sure I know all about the mysteries of the universe, militant atheist horse. I took back my religion from the dipsticks that ruin it. I say HAPPY EASTER. God bless.

(1,695 posts)It's and odd Easter for me. My stepfather passed away on Good Friday after a prolonged illness. And while is suppose I consider myself an agnostic, he was a devout Catholic. And if there is a heaven I would hope he is there looking down. He was a wonderful man who will be missed dearly. But his passing has brought a large portion of my family together for this holiday and for that I am especially grateful. I hope all is well with you. As I have posted before, I believe you to be one of DU's nicest posters!

(7,720 posts)My father, myself, eldest brother and SIL all sang in the church choir. There were 14 family members at our house for Easter dinner and the weather was sunny and 70° (after getting 9" of snow last Thursday and Friday).
