Is Easter a bit funny or odd?

One dies on his/her cross!!

Afterwards, one is happy being in heaven!!

Wow, wow!! What are your thoughts about this??

Happy Easter, everybody!

This is a little crypt that is located on a mountainslope in TenSleep Canyon, just down the road from Brokenback Mountain in Wyoming.

I was raised in a fundemental Pentecostal church; and every Easter they would have a big "Passion Play" where they celebrated the 'Pentecost' (what THEY called the Pentecost)

They would have a two hour long play that went over the torture of Christ in excruciating detail....and then spend five minutes on the resurrection... :P

I always felt they focused on the wrong thing....that their fascination with the torture was a little sick, to me the whole point of the story is the resurrection...

Thanks injest! And HAPPY EASTER!!

You say this:

...

May I  say that what you write is BBM!! That struggle, of living in pain, in fear,that is making in hardship!!! You think so too??

It is a wonder as to why we accent torture... even to-day too easily, as the murdering of gay men (and of heteros, etc.), of women, of children, even before-birth!! Many humans do things the hard way... like to kill, instead of finding wondrous ways of loving and helping each other!! It is true that violence is always around the corner too!! One must too prepare to counter that violence with abstracts and realisme of LOVE!! I think and know from my own life and of those I know!!

 I suppose that resurrection is too much still an abstract thing and that subject is too hard to be described in realistic terms, words, expressions... as in a film and /or story. Annie tries it a bit. And I wish she will continue it and much more describe resurrection.

I think resurrection is described better in many wondrous ways to become happiness at the end of the movie and especially in this:
THE BEST YEARS OF OUR LIVES!! Did you see that movie? Tragedy does make a person superhuman, it seems, in many ways, as some persons have helped others to become happy, gay!! Absence is fear, that thought becomes a sign of presence... since a human wants and can find HOPE and LOVE with ANOTHER person, as in BBM!!

That is EASTER?? Resurrection, is a geste that one can do to help and love another!! ?? Partake, the supper of love, as love is more strong than death!! ??

Offering oneself even if one is in being tortured, can be fearingglory if rendering LIFE as an OFFER!! Instead I prefer, and I say that: Blessed are those who find the glorious POSITIVE non-fearing ways of the much better resurrection of LOVE!!

HAPPY EASTER to you and ALL!!

HUGS!!

sometimes I think that it is easier to hate than to love....

seems sometimes that hate is stronger than love...then you hear stories of people that will do anything for those they love...

I know of people who have given their lives for love (or what they thought was love) but not so many that do so for hate...

even suicide bombers do it out of love of their nations or religion more than for hate I think...

..............................................................................

May I expess this: that I think so too.
I remember that after surgery (as I had a long operation at the hospital),
that my body and mind was in pain enough already!
But, I later found out since even the next person's sons wanted often to kill me in that hospital room
because I was a christian/and/or jew and their father was a muslim!! I do not know if they knew that I am a gay man, but since such murderers have a something like a sense of who is gay, they likely felt that!!
I was kind being silent... and peaceful to them, and I found out that they were not... with lights and their yelling/pretended-prayers 24 on 24 hours!!
So it was so hard for me to think positive!

Guess you understand that it is easier to kill, but than to love... we think (as murdering is a con-game I guess),
and I find out that it is much EASIER to LOVE!!
I remained calm as I could... even did hide under the covers from them,
as they blocked my entrance to the washroom even.
They even controlled the nurses and the doctor!!
It was therefore hard for me to think positive of those persons!!
Still to-day this hurts me!!

We are too lenient and therefore, let too much criminals run us
in our democratic countries. Education for ourselves against such murderer(s)
is necessary! And these killers need to be educated towards love?? !! How??

Mother took me in. So, it was harder for me not to cry out often afterwards even towards her!! ??
Hate brisngs hate... too easily as you seem to suggest?? !!

Anyway, love is grandeur!! I like and love to LOVE!!
And this is coming back to me, with you and all in this site,
as we all help each other!!

HUGS injest! HAPPY EASTER!!
