  1. It’s Easter, the day when Jesus Christ rose from the dead, to feast upon the brains of the slower unbelievers…

  2. I might be confusing Sunday School and horror movies…

  4. Ed Morrisey said it beautifully today, with grace and clarity,

    Today, we celebrate our Lord who gave us an everlasting gift of eternal life through his own suffering and death, so that despair itself cannot prevail.

  5. :LOL: @ Happyfeet

    I don’t do that too often.

  6. #1 and 2 — is it ever, ever possible for POS’s like you to just have the basic human decency to leave the honest Christians alone for a moment to enjoy for just a day a holiday that is sacred to ourselves, without having to endure your dribble? Just a day? We’re not asking a lot.

    Being a Christian myself, naturally I forgive you for being an unfunny obnoxious hate-filled little piece of shit. Go your way, brother, and sin no more. But that isn’t the same thing as saying that you’re not what you so manifestly are: a POS.

    Happy Easter, even to dirtbags, whom the Lord has especially come to save. See and hear the Gospels for appropriate instruction.

    As a nominal Lutheran with little patients for morons, I suppose the answer would be “No, you humorless f**kwit.

    Being a Christian myself, naturally I forgive you for being an unfunny obnoxious hate-filled little piece of sh*t. Go your way, brother, and sin no more. But that isn’t the same thing as saying that you’re not what you so manifestly are: a POS.

    I’m not even going to bother pointing out all the way you violate your own philosophy.

    Seriously, I would need a flow-chart in order to point out all the ways your hypocrisy screams right there.

    I’ll just give you a tip: It isn’t Christian love and charity if you point it out.

    See and hear the Gospels for appropriate instruction.

    I always prefered the Gospel of Tim, 4:6-8

    “I tell you the truth, those who are too touchy about their religion have something to prove, and truly are f**kwits”.

    I would rather be threatened with beheading than have some pompous twit like you post some sanctimonious pile of tripe, pretending as though he was my moral superior.

  8. #8: Exactly as ignorant and shrill as expected. What else is new. But wait, I’m going to take this someplace that may surprise you. In the interim, though…

    Yawn, as it were.

    “…all the ways you violate your own philosophy.”

    Hmm. As if Jesus Christ never rebuked anyone. I’ll rest at the beginning. Here’s another hint: philosophy is not theology, and theology is not religion, and religion is not True Religion.

    Lookit, I’m trying to help you here, not trying to “win”. I’m a Christian. I don’t need to win. My ego was dispensed with a long time ago. “Win” is a meaningless term to me. I only use it because it still has a partial meaning to folks like yourself… so if you still respect things like dominance, I’ll be happy to dominate the daylights out of you, but only to help you see beyond the silliness that a thing like “dominance” is. To me such things are, as they say, the finger and not the moon.

    Build your house on rock, not on sand.

    Best,

  9. As if Jesus Christ never rebuked anyone.

    Oh, he called them out, certainly. He even overturned the tables that had been set up in the temple.

    But he was never petty about it.

    You, hoever, seem to live in a constant state of “small and petty”.

    so if you still respect things like dominance, I’ll be happy to dominate the daylights out of you

    Doesn’t your God teach you that such a thing is a sin?

    Look little man, I don’t know if you’re new around here or something, but I don’t take well to being talked down to.

    Perhaps you could take a look at your own faith and ponder as to why you might have felt the need to make a rude, condescending post in reply to a joke.

    It’s humorless twats like you that give the religion a bad name. You probably write angry letters when Family Guy makes a Jesus joke, don’t you.

    Scott Jacobs (d027b8)

  10. Oh, I’m quite used to this sort of thing. I’m going to let #10 kind of tumble through the air for a while, with full confidence that when it’s dry, and you feel a bit better, you’ll be ready to talk in earnest. Presumably at some point you’ll realize that someone using a phrase like “little man” has lost the game before starting out.

    By the way… Do you play chess? And do you know why I’m asking?

    In the meantime, something to ponder…

    “Doesn’t your God teach you that such a thing is a sin?”

    Where?

    d. in c. (ac417f)

  11. btw, if we’re going to talk…

    I’d kind of like to see the flow chart.

    If you don’t mind.

    My kids tell me for something to be funny at least TWO people have to be laughing…

    So they tell me

    Where?

    “…but sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts. Always be ready to give an explanation to anyone who asks you for a reason for your hope, but do it with gentleness and reverence, keeping your conscience clear, so that, when you are maligned, those who defame your good conduct in Christ may themselves be put to shame.
    For it is better to suffer for doing good, if that be the will of God, than for doing evil. — 1 Peter 3:15

    Don’t be silly. Just because Andrew Sullivan can’t understand the female anatomy when Sarah Palin is involved(which I guess would make him a “slower believer”) doesn’t mean Jesus wants to eat his brains.

    Seriously, the Resurrection of Jesus being so awesome, we count it lasting for eight full days in the Catholic Church and so, Happy Easter, everyone.

  16. Wow. Patterico posts a pleasant little “Happy Easter” and this is the comment thread that follows?

    Jesus eating brains of unbelievers…
    piece of shit… dirtbag…
    f**ktwit…

    I guess our host will have to avoid such controversial issues in the future. I’ve heard people say that the internet is like the Wild West, but a different simile comes to mind.

    Happy Easter!

    whitehousedossier.com via Drudgereport.com:

    …President Obama failed to issue either an Easter or a Good Friday greeting to the nation.

    [Fox News reports that by] comparison, the White House has released statements recognizing the observance of major Muslim holidays and released statements in 2010 on Ramadan, Eid-ul-Fitr, Hajj, and Eid-ul-Adha. The White House…did release an eight-paragraph statement heralding Earth Day.

    In 2010, Obama was criticized for releasing an all-inclusive Easter greeting. He reached out to Jews, Muslims, Hindus, and people of no faith at all in a statement about a holiday that is uniquely Christian.

    And as I noted last week, the president released a Passover greeting this month that compared the ancient Jewish exodus from Egypt to the Arab political awakening this year, which would be a beautiful thing if most Arabs didn’t seek Israel’s destruction.

    Oh, well, at least the current occupant of the White House has enough sense not to do something as foolish as, for example, bowing before a foreign dignitary.
