HE HAS RISEN!

[TyroneSlothrop]

In this upgrade of the Easter Resurrection story from the movie "Gravity" a Resurrected George Clooney [earlier in the movie he sacrificed himself to save Sandra Bullock] rips out the Rock [entrance port]of the Sepulcher Bullock is preparing for herself....Bullock feeling alone , desperate and without hope is saved ...tells her "salvation is a Sunday ride away...she rallies and returns to Paradise....

He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,

Jesus never existed.

Yes He did. There is historical proof that the apostle Paul wrote one of the books of the new testament. I believe it was Romans. He was a contemporary of the other apostles, who were eyewitnesses to the life of Jesus.

Even if you accept the bible account at face value, Paul never met Jesus personally. So Paul was just repeating what other people said.

And that works on the assumption that Paul wrote all the epistles attributed to him.

It also assumes that Paul wasn't just making Jesus up as a literary device.

And the atheists, once again, can't leave well enough alone.
I do hope you can find it in your hearts, to love others, even when not like you.

I'd be happy to leave well enough alone. Stop trying to impose your fairy tales on the rest of us, and I will be happy to leave you alone.

It was on the road to Emmaues(sp) Paul saw the risen Lord in the book of Acts.
Interestingly enough Paul wrote that he was one born out of due time, meaning he wasn't a personal witness of the Lord's ministry.

If Jesus was a myth, why did all but one of his apostles die, rather than be silenced? People do not die for something that they know to be a lie.

Wow, that's an interesting sophistry.

First, we don't really know how ANY of the Apostles died except for James in the Book of Acts. The bible is silent on what happened to them. Mostly we have a bunch of traditions about how the Apostles were martyred, most of them bordering on the fantastic.

We also have the little problem of who the Apostles were, because the Gospels contradict each other on their names. We don't know for sure if those guys existed, either.

Repost from last year:

"Easter".... "estrus"...

The modern belief that eggs are delivered by a rabbit, comes from the legend of the Goddess Eostre. Eostre was walking one fine Spring day and came upon a beautiful little bird. The poor bird's wing was badly injured and Eostre, feeling great compassion for the little creature, wanted to heal it. But the little bird's wing was so badly damaged that Eostre knew it would never be able to fly again even after She healed it. So, Eostre decided to help the bird by healing it in a way that would give it mobility and a little something more? She turned it into a rabbit!

During the transformation, the rabbit retained the ability to lay eggs. The rabbit was so grateful to Eostre for saving its life that it laid a sacred egg in Her honor, joyously decorated it and then humbly presented it to the Goddess. She was so pleased and so touched by the rabbit's thoughtful gift that She wished all humankind to share in her joy. In honoring her wishes, the rabbit went all over the world distributing these beautifully decorated little gifts of life and continues to do so even today.​

Even if it were an actual event, it's two thousand years old. That's not "current" under any definition.

A religious, or a secular, mark on the calendar happening when it was supposed to is not an "event". We all knew it was coming; it was inevitable. If the calendar had suddenly jumped from April 4 to April 6, THAT would be an "event".

Yes it is. Did you miss the part about it being celebrated around the world every year? Which mean, ding....ding....ding....

It's a current event once a year

Rightfully so for a country founded on Christianity
