Three Run Jimmy Jack

Even as a small child, I was suspicious of the concept of a giant bunny who brought colored eggs. What is this giant bunny about? Where does it go? How smart is it? What's up with the colored eggs anyway? We colored them and then the easter bunny hid them? The whole Easter Bunny deal seemed bogus to me the first I ever remember of it. And when I thought of it, if my parents were jiving me about the Easter Bunny, what about Santa Claus? As a 5 year old I could believe in Santa Claus but once I thought about the Easter Bunny, then Santa Claus was under suspicion too, and eventually I began to distrust anything my parents said. Because it is a slippery slope, first this Easter Bunny bullshit, then this Santa crap, my parents are LYING TO ME!! I was and still am outraged.

Then I started to think about Easter. It is a weird holiday that doesn't stand up to a lot of thought. Good Friday is the day that they killed Jesus. What's good about that? I HATE that we always kill our best. We killed Lincoln, we killed Martin Luther King, and way before that we killed Jesus. And that happened on Good Friday? And now we are Christians and wear crosses. The cross is a torture device. I don't want to wear a torture device. I think Jesus had good ideas, he was a leader, a prince of peace. I want to talk about how he lived, not how he died. How he died was bullshit, kinda like the easter bunny. As humans we should be ashamed of ourselves for the killing of Jesus. I like the fish as a symbol of Christianity. Let's embrace the fish.
