Got Easter?

It is that time of year, my fellows, that all good Christians "celebrate" Easter. Although to celebrate the execution of one's eternal savior seems to contrast greatly with the event itself, does it not? But celebrate we should!
At this time of year, in the two weeks or so that lead up to the weekend itself, Hollywood rolls out its library of epics, or remakes them with a modern cast, and fills our TV screens with them. All in an attempt to make the Christian community forget that the majority of these films are in fact made by, and starred, members of the Jewish faith. Could this be a form of penance? Who knows?
Additionally, the History, Learning, Discovery, National Geographic Channels all are running their own libraries of documentaries, films, and interpretations of this Christian Holiday, as well as most everything else they can dig up regarding the Bible, its history, and so on. It is all very fascinating, some of it interresting, but with the weekend upon us, it has become overwhelming.
And now there are, of course, groups out there pushing for the Government to stop even recognizing the holiday. Once again, a gross twisting out of shape of the First Amendment by dumbass liberals who preach diversity, but don't want to recognized it within us all. I often wonder how men like the Reverends Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton can claim to be Democrats and Liberals and yet preach religious conservatism? Isn't their very existence against the First Amendment, as the Liberals define it?
But I digress.
This holiday should in fact be a celebration! We should all rejoice in the LIFE of Jesus, and that sacrifice he made. Churches should be singing out loudly with songs of joy and happiness! Parties should be thrown in His honor. Barbecues held, beer drank, sports played! After all, He was a great man and needs to be CHEERED, not mourned. Why should anyone feel sadness on this holiday? He would want everyone to be joyful for our own lives, and the lives of others. Jesus was a great man, a great leader, and a great orator. However you choose to worship, Jesus should be praised for who He was, and what He did in a very trying time. Respect the Man and his Deeds, for they are what today's America were founded on.
You do not have to be Christian to recognize and celebrate Easter. You do not have to be Jewish to recognize and celebrate Hanukkah. You do not have to be Muslim to recognize and celebrate Ramadan. You do not have to be anything to recognize, celebrate, and RESPECT other's traditions and holidays.
Respect is what all of you dumbasses in America had better start giving before you even think to demand it. You don't earn respect by demanding everyone else ignore their own faith and stop celebrating their own holidays and displaying their own culture just to be "Politically Correct". Hell, "Political Correctness" is DISRESPECT in the very purest form! And Jesus sure as hell was not a "Politally Correct" leader! The man had balls! And it takes balls to be a great leader. Remember that, people!
This has been the Center of the Universe.
Opinionated and arrogant, as usual.
