Yabby, I have a picture of a chicken humping a rabbit. Swap? Honestly, I’m a genuine collector. Not one of my pictures has been Photo-Shopped and I have the original negatives. (trust me?)

I also have the original mobile phone video of the resurrection, the Cadbury’s dark chocolate nativity set, a genuine piece of the “cross” in milk chocolate and the full cream caramel version of the Stations of the Cross, including colored Roman Soldiers.

You would be sooo impressed by my collection.

I also have a “Vatican Certified” copy of the original “virgin birth” medical certificate, signed by Richard Branson. I can also offer as part of a bundled deal, the original contract between Virgin Galactic and Senator Bob Brown for transportation to the “nearest alien occupied planet”. This deal includes the previously secret addendum that specifies a “chocolate powered” space vehicle, a two person, heated chez lounge and a legislated galactic gay rights season pass.

Would swap for season pass for the Titans, Bulldogs, CWA, Country Cross Dressers, Bob Katter’s Strategic One Person, One Shafting, Bend over, I’m a minor but not underage voter Party.

The one thing of which we can all be assured is? Yes, you got it, the world is full of “Bunnies”

LOL Spindoc :) Actually this is an old black and white picture
which I've had for about 15 years, it originated in South Africa.
A girlfriend at the time sent it to me and I've had a better
understanding of Easter ever since. The hen looks quite startled :)

Its a shame that Graham doesen't have a section where we can post
pictures, but given that he's always struggling for donations to
keep the wheels on the OLO cart, we can't really expect it of him.

Dear spindoc,

My husband gave me a cofee mug a few years ago with
rabbits all over it. And I remember thinking at the
time - "how cute," until I looked closer and saw what
these cute rabbits were doing. Then I got excited. ;-)

But I digress.

As you probably know - I was raised as a Catholic.
And to me - Good Friday is part of the heritage of
my family and culture. It's personal, and it's something
that I would not dream of forcing onto any one else.
It brings me a sense of individual fulfillment and it
give meaning to my life. And it's good for me.
However, I also believe in live and let live -
and to each his own.

Cossomby,
Confession of sin entails repentance and having an abrorrence for one's sin. Without repentance [which means turning away from the evil attitude, bad action, or neglect of responsibility] there is no forgivness. See what the Priest says in the Godfather. If there is still a desire to do it again then there is no repentance.

Yes, and the fact that you predicate your remarks with "I believe" separates you from the likes of *Runner* who in my view is a delusional, homophobic bigot, amongst other things.

Of course, in my favourite Church, as of old I am told, the leaders are not chosen by their gender or sexual preference, but rather on other characteristics and abilities.

Thus, as of last I heard, the top spot was shared by 1 woman and 1 gay man.

The founder, started as a Catholic but apparently outgrew it, and eventually founded Australia's first independent denomination, following creating quite a stir after "marrying" 2 girls in W.A. in 1971, if I do not misrecall.

As someone from their said, "You'll know the Catholics have changed when they have a Black Female Pope."

(and I saw *Pope Joan* on BluRay recently which I very much enjoyed)

..

" ... Father forgive me, for today I did slaughter numerous blacks, raped their woman, crushed the skulls of their infants, poisoned their wells and left them pox infected blankets. ... "

" ... Well, 3 hail Mary's yadayada ... "

The political churches disgust me *Lexi* but that is not to say that I do not recognise that there was and are some bright Souls amongst them, but sadly, they are in the minority.

..

As for *Good Friday* I suspect that JC's mum warned him, if you keep hanging sh!t on the establishment, they will do away with you boy, and so they did.
