A Very Happy Easter to All!!!


yeah seriously, is her stylist blind?...anyway, back to the original purpose of this blog, which is to wish all of you a very happy easter. As it is tradition in my religion, families go to church on Easter Sunday to commemorate and celebrate Christ's resurrection. Now as that may come as a surprise to many, I go to church every sunday, except the occasional times I have missed, but I make it my responsability to try and give thanks every end of the week. Something I have always noticed every single year, is the attendance at mass. Usually, it really isn't hard to find a seat. Hell, you can lay down comfortably on the benches and there would still be seats left available. But every easter, the same thing happens: the place is packed!!! I mean, like sardines in a can, it's almost impossible to move without someone groaning you're disrupting their attention.


What's also funny though is their attention span. Most of these people are not used to waking up early on sundays, dressed up, ready to pray since most of the year, they wake up on a sunday at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, hung over from that wild party last night and that guy in your bed who you probably don't even know his name. And easter isn't just the only holiday where this phenomenom occurs: there's also Ash Wednesday, Christmas, Passover, Lent, Pentecost, and Ascension. Fact of the matter is, we are a hypocritical people. We live life like crazy jackrabbits and then we figure that if we go to church on those particular days, we can keep on partying. Now, do we honestly think God is that much of an idiot? I think Bush is enough, thank you!

So my point here is this: don't go to church just on those days because of their importance, but try to go other times during the year, showing that you have faith and you believe in a higher being that placed us here for some unknown purpose, as everything will make sense in due time.

The question to be asked: does G-d really exist? Or does going to service (4 any religion) just really a method of making people feel as if there is a purpose for existence. In reality what I feel should be done with places of worship is to dispose of religion and turn it into community, thus helping eliminating prejudice while creating morals.
