What has JC to do about Easter? Isn't it about a bunny looking for eggs?
Or if you are Norwegian; skiing and crime novels.

To sum up the difference between religions……….My imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend.
All the stories are all the exact same things. Including the big bang.

There was nothing and then there was a thing and then there was stuff.

This is a common mistake (or religious propaganda, depending on where it's coming from). The idea that "there was nothing" before the big bang is not an accurate reflection of where the science is or has been.

The big bang wasn't the creation of the universe, but the rapid expansion of it from a very dense state - a singularity...

It was more of a bit of hyperbolic simplistic essay but in reality, they're all the same story.

Not really, but we all believe different things...

I have my own beliefs on the creation myth.

I believe Mido using the Taubert case created the first waterproof watch before Rolex.
I believe Zodiac created the first commercially available professional diver before Rolex.
I believe Smiths created the first Everest achieving watch before Rolex.
We all choose what we want to believe.

Who cares it doesn’t matter. It’s an un-answerable question. Just be a Buddha. He wanted you to be happy. 😉

Stainless steel Rolexes are God. People talk about them and worship them. There are even 'temples' where you can go and see where they would be visible if they only existed. For now, you just need faith that they will exist. And one day they will once again walk the earth.

My first branch out into alternative religions started in my junior year in high school, zen Buddhism was the first path I took. Also read about the physics of consciousness and how our brains are tiny quantum computers. Now I'm fairly open minded to the point of being mystified at how people can so easily believe in "X" religion and fight wars over "Y" religion that is almost exactly the same. And if you believe in Angels/demons and the literal battle over heaven/hell but not like aliens or ghosts.

You are going to hell, James. And not because of your faith or the lack of it, but because you have committed utter blasphemy by casting doubt upon the crown. Shame, shame, shame. You do realize that Rolex also invented the internet before Al Gore stole it, right? 😁

I don't believe in heaven or hell. I do believe in hell on earth. I was married once. Then I doubled down and took a job in private law practice.

I have already desecrated one of their icons with a superdome- it’s a matter of time before I find a burning Coronet on my lawn.

Does anyone know if the Jesus Bunny came out of his hole and saw his shadow?

I need to know if we have 40 more days of Lent.
