with your reasoning anyone supporting the Greens is guilty of murder as they have encouraged kids to get into leaky boats. Your reasoning is illogical and sick.

Also my views of how unhealthy homosexuality is clear. However I have never believed it should be prohibited anymore than those living in fornication.

You seem to be a master at either self deception or misrepresenting others. You would not belong to the Greens would you?

*Runner* it appears we are drifting some ways off topic, so, in recognising the celebration of the life of that person we now refer to as Jesus of Nazareth visa vi "Good Friday," and though personal interpretations obviously vary greatly, that which he stood for, I would ask:

Are the Asylum Seekers not you "neighbours?"

Would you detain them and their children indefinitely or otherwise for indeterminate lengths of time in circumstances all factors considered evidenced to produce adverse general health and specific adverse mental health outcomes?

Have you been into any of the detention centres as I have and seen with thine own eyes and heard with your own ears from the people concerned?

We have a friend down the road originally from Vietnam, now well and truly Ozzified, who arrived in a leaky boat as a child via Indonesia and she certainly has a very different view from you and is all for people getting to a signatory country by any means, as is traditionally accepted.

All I have ever read from your mouth, as in your previous post is second hand LNP propaganda. Do you really think that you know what you are talking about?

Did not the genocidal crown of the transplanted genocidal pom and its ill begotten spawn turn back boat loads of Jews (and possibly some homosexuals and "crazy people" mixed in)from settling in Western Australia even though the people had voted to accept them in the lead up to WWII?

Has not your communion wine been evidenced as a class 1 carcinogen?

And re unhealthy practices, not all homosexuals practice anal sex, and of those that do some wear protection, and of course, "Greek" is also practised by heterosexuals is it not?

Is there something else that you were referring to regarding your views for the relegation of certain persons to 2nd class citizen status?

DreamOn,

I notice you failed to answer the accusations you made against me. As far as my neighbour I am quite upset that I have friends who are Sri Lankan and African who have been waiting years for their families to come to Australia legally. If they had the money to pay people smugglers the red carpet would of been laid out for them. That is plainly unjust. It is plain that illegal entry is encouraged by a very incompetent Government influenced by the Greens who display a very waqrped form of compassion. They never mention the hundreds drowned after being encouraged by them to take the trip. Try answering a question before making your next accusation.

Come on guys the subject is about the relavence of Easter.

More truly about Passover, as Jesus was put to death on Thursday afternoon before passover and was raised on Sunday; three days later. The Romans period of rhe celebration Easter - [god of new life]. Because The Roman Catholic church syncretised its seasons from existing religions in the Empire hence the term Easter remains.

However the sacred season for the Jews was and still is Passover. Many Christian Churches respect traditions of Passover.

Josephus

In actual fact Christ more than likely died on a Wednesday if you consider the Jewish day commenced at 6pm. It is true more and more Christians now celebrate parts of Passover as Jesus was the sacrificial Lamb.

Hi Runner,

So if he died on the Thursday afternoon - Wednesday in the Jewish schema that a day starts at sunset - Wednesday was the first day.

Thursday was the second day.

Friday was the third day, when he is supposed to have risen.

So Christians should be commemorating on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday ?

And I'm as puzzled as Suse - why should a person die for the sins of others, including those not yet born ?

It does sound like the old tribal system, practised all around the world, of 'scapegoating' that we can detect in the story of Abraham about to sacrifice his son, the burning bush, etc.

All pretty primitive, I'm sure everyone would agree.

It just makes more sense to be atheist ;)

Cheers,

Joe
