A blessed and happy Easter to all

As a Christian, I want to apologize for swampy and other right-wing so-call "Christian" behavior. I don't know what happened, but for several years, right-wingers full of hate have taken over the Christian faith, at least in the south. Real Christians don't act like that - saying things like: "A blessed and happy Easter to all Who believe. Have a nice day for those who don't." It is needlessly provocative and disgusting.

What? All I did was attempt to wish my Christian friends a Happy Easter. How is that hateful? How does that make you feel you need to apologize for me or other Christians? Please explain how that is provocative or disgusting? How does my comment reflect on the Christians in the South? Are there no Christians in the a North? If so, are they somehow superior?

What an amazing amount of freak out over Swampy's post. You all couldn't just let it go by without jumping on the righteous indignation train. Congratulations on sounding exactly like right wing talk show callers when confronted with an opposing viewpoint. This place is beginning to acquire all the worst attributes of newspaper comments sections.

I guess I am the one that got the thread going. It irked me that there was a perfectly fine thread on the other side where Easter wishes could be posted, yet Swampy decided to post on this side and emphasize "Who believe." as if the posters on the other side are ones who don't believe. This I find divisive and childish. Swampy could just as easily have added to the thread on the other side something like 'Happy Easter to my Christian friends'.

Thank you to Dennis S for saying what I wanted to say in a better manner.

BS... I don't post on "the other side". I can't even remember the last time I visited the other forum.

A little research will show I last posted there 4 weeks ago on the occasion of $tevie's birthday. Prior to that it was 7 months ago.

You now look like a fool.

Happy Easter from Accurate Jesus.

It was the Bible, however, that resolved the question of the length of Jesus's hair. While most religious artists have put long hair on Christ, most biblical scholars believe that it was probably short with tight curls. This assumption, however, contradicted what many believe to be the most authentic depiction: the face seen in the image on the famous—some say infamous—Shroud of Turin. The shroud is believed by many to be the cloth in which Jesus's body was wrapped after his death. Although there is a difference of opinion as to whether the shroud is genuine, it clearly depicts a figure with long hair. Those who criticize the shroud's legitimacy point to 1 Corinthians, one of the many New Testament books the apostle Paul is credited with writing. In one chapter he mentions having seen Jesus—then later describes long hair on a man as disgraceful. Would Paul have written "If a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him" if Jesus Christ had had long hair? For Neave and his team this settled the issue. Jesus, as drawings from the first century depict, would have had short hair, appropriate to men of the time.

You do realize that this is a computer forum, don't you?
