Jessica's mom had "ugly hands". Everyone used to laugh at Jessica's mom. They used to say, "oh her hands are all scarred, they're all disgusting, they're all red, they're all patchy". And Jessica, herself, was rather scared of her mom's hands.
At times she wouldn't even want to hold her own mother's hands, and other times the boys and girls at school, they would laugh at Jessica. In fact, one day it was so bad that Jessica just spent the whole evening crying her eyes out in bed, saying, "I hate mommy! I hate mommy because she has ugly hands!"
So her father went into the room and said, "Jessica, do you know why your mom's hands look the way they do? When you were but a little baby there was a fire in our house and the staircase was on fire and you were up in the very top bedroom, but your mother was on the ground floor. So do you know what your mom did? She grabbed a blanket. She wrapped it around her waste. And then she climbed up to the top of the meta gutter pipe that led up to the bedroom."
"Every time she puts her hands on that hot gutter pipe it burns, Tsss! Tsss! Tsss!. But she got you, she saved you, and she brought you to safety in the garden. When it was all over, the firemen looked at mom's hands and saw they were a mess. You couldn't even recognize that they were hands: they were so blotchy, they were so red. That's why your mom has ugly hands."
In that moment Jessica ran out of her bed and she ran into her mother's bedroom, and she started kissing her mom's hands, and saying mom you have the most beautiful hands in the world.
God's message was the same. Jesus suffered and died for you:
Some people of the world look at Jesus's pierced hands and may see them as ugly, but to those who know the truth, we think they are the most beautiful hands in the world. Those hands were pierced, they had nails driven through them for all the times that your hands have hurt people or done cruel and nasty things.
He also had his feet pierced. His feet had nails pierced through them for all the time that your feet have walked to places you know you should not be, but you stayed there, even though your conscience was telling you to get out.
And Jesus Christ, he had his brow pierced. He wore a crown of thorns for all the times your mind has thought evil things, your mind has thought rude things, shameful things.
Here is His promise:
"Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?" —John 11:25-26
Ryan, I've always found it odd how "we're just like you except for one little thing, just treat us like everybody else" turned into "we're extra special because of one little thing which makes us totally different from you and you must celebrate it or you're a bigot." It's why I don't celebrate these dumb holidays or associate regularly with people who do. Being proud of being gay is like being proud of having brown eyes to me. And I don't include the Ts and Qs and all the other letters in with the LGB. It's all become such a narcissistic gangbang shitshow.
If Bidumb wins I might give up and just go back to reading my books...and just watch the fall of western civilization while shopping for little kriff-krafts on Amazon.
Right? I'm just seeing many more times the damage they've already done. It's depressing. I hope Gato is right about the power of the internet and memes, but I think another term will see them take control of all that and leave us with probably only one option, which I dont like at all.
When you feel the need to compel others to believe as you do, you are wrong.
Just my opinion...well no not really. Whether you do it in the name of secularism or religion, it's no different. The principle "live and let live" is a good guiding principle but it demands you be tolerant of those who may not accept you. And it demands that you not demand acceptance. Where we (humans) go off the rails is when we focus on differences to the exclusion of recognizing commonality.
In my religion, Easter is just another Sunday. I still respect your beliefs. I have many friends to whom Easter is the most important day in their religion. I have learned over the years that we share many values, many beliefs, and more or less the same moral foundation. We can be different and still find joy in each other.
On the most important day in the Catholic faith, I will respect their beliefs to the best that I am able. Even those different from mine. Because my core morality demands that of me. And because I try not to be an a**hole.
Outrageous! Here's what I've found on why this is happening:
"The look on their faces testifies against them; they parade their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! They have brought disaster upon themselves." —Isaiah 3:9
1) Blasphemy is their bread and butter: for them the bigger an insult to God can be the more highly it is regarded.
2) The intention from the rainbow symbolism is to transform the world, on their terms this time, into a gender-less, Godless, wicked society. They covet and strive to birth unnatural abominations into this world and to normalize them as an affront to the creator because they hate God and all He created that is good, right and true. They live to normalize the unnatural and to corrupt sacred innocence.
"Those that can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities." —Voltaire
We agree on very little SCA, but for the most part I am glad you are there to break up echo chambers, causing folks to re-evaluate their belief systems and positions.
Here though, I find nothing of value in your comment. Still, have a great Sunday.
Gonna save this to put in a lesson for kids of the future:
"This is what humans used to call "a conversation", kids. People of different backgrounds, religions, and opinions sharing, listening, responding, and maintaining respect for one anther without the need to agree on everything. It became extinct sometime in the early to mid 21st century.... "
Thank you all for keeping up the tradition of conversation!
I agree with this. The idea of pre-emptively absolving people of immorality if only they choose to believe(despite that being impossible) in an incoherent idea lacking evidential support is absurd. That said, I do enjoy El Gato's articles because, even if I don't agree with them or they don't apply to me(I don't live in the USA), they make me think. Nevertheless, you cannot expect me to take you seriously when your refutation of a moral argument is an appeal to religion. Question everything and leave nothing sacred. Only then can the truth be found.
“Taxation is theft, purely and simply even though it is theft on a grand and colossal scale which no acknowledged criminals could hope to match. It is a compulsory seizure of the property of the State’s inhabitants, or subjects.” - Murray Rothbard
My kids were the most skeptical little humans I knew. They never believed in the Easter bunny and they believed in Santa until they were about three--the youngest one never did because her older siblings told her it was a lie. I think I only tried once to tell them that the Easter bunny was the one who gave them the baskets with treats and they asked so many questions, I finally gave up. I thought I was doing something wrong because my kids were so suspicious about that stuff, but now I realize maybe I was doing something right. They knew if they asked questions, I would tell them the truth. I tried to teach them that everything good starts with a question The quest to know if God was really there? That's a personal journey between you and God. Those who are truly seeking the answer will eventually find great peace. It's a journey no one else can take for you.
“Love alone is credible; nothing else can be believed, and nothing else ought to be believed. This is the achievement, the ‘work’ of faith: to recognize this absolute prius, which nothing else can surpass; to believe that there is such a thing as love, absolute love, and that there is nothing higher or greater than it; to believe against all the evidence of experience (‘credere contra fidem‘ like ‘spere contra spem‘), against every ‘rational’ concept of God, which thinks of him in terms of impassibility or, at best, totally pure goodness, but not in terms of this inconceivable and senseless act of love”
Wishing you a wonderful and Blessed Easter Celebration! God continues to Bless Us in this wonderful country. We will hold strong in Faith and not allow criminals to take way our lives as Christians!

Happy Easter, everone.
Here check out how far this country has fallen:

This is DEPRAVITY.
They did it on Easter for a reason.

Completely agree. I think we're "winning" and that's why they'll cheat even more this time.
That'll leave only one option.
Like I said before; I'm just pinching myself that I live during this period of history.
The Founders wouldn't be surprised at all tho
Yep, I was gonna add that about the cheating. We're watching it happen again and only a peep from a few.
You're right, the Founders wouldn't. They warned us, those brilliant dead white men.
That sounds like my life now.

At least while you can afford to. Last trip to the grocery store was alarming.
Tell me about.
My last trip through Wendy's for a double cheeseburger meal was $16.
It was $11 prior to plandemic.

Nothing the wacko-left or Democraps (sorry for the redundancy) ever do is random.
It’s always and everywhere premeditated, and calculated to destroy.
Every time
St Patrick said in his Breatplate:
"I bind myself today and forever
To His bursting from the spiced tomb!"
And you guys have a problem with the present culture when your theology is a torture porn spectacular?
Sad that you choose to post this and ridicule our faith on this day of resurrection, Easter morning. I will still hope you have a wonderful Sunday.
Tri Torch chose his Easter message and I responded to it.
A wonderful Sunday to you too.
We agree on very little SCA, but for the most part I am glad you are there to break up echo chambers, causing folks to re-evaluate their belief systems and positions.

Thank you all for keeping up the tradition of conversation!
Thank you. It’s been a great Sunday with early church service with family and another great sermon given by our Pastor. Blessings abound.
And wishing you a very tasty Easter meal!
See, thar is something we can agree upon - celebrating significant events with a shared meal! I like to focus on the good stuff :-)

The story of the crucifixion is only "porn" to a sick freak like yourself...
When your faith is built around a Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cult I think you got yourself a little bit of a problem.
Sacrificial love is torture porn, eh?
She's even more fun around Christmas, Doc!
When it's the central belief of a Middle Eastern blood sacrifice cult, absolutely. As TriTorch has laid out in perfect form.
As it was 2000 years ago, so it is today. Nothing new, as you often say.
"But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolishness..."--St Paul's letter to the Corinthians (1:23)
Imagine. If he'd worked on Madison Avenue he'd've made everyone else looked like amateur hour.
Oh, do many on Madison Avenue give up their life for the cause?
You should read Paul some day, and not just read about him from cynics, atheists, or pseudo-Christians.
I'd like to see you make such comments in a Muslim stack or chat. You would then see what a death cult truly is.
Kid, they's sister cults.
This Substacker I stumbled across barely a week ago happened to post an apropos reply, today, without even realizing it.
The more I hang out here, the more I'm forced to admit I never had a truly original idea in my life.

Believing in the Easter Bunny is significantly safer than believing in the government.

Absolutely right gatito bueno, tu esta mui Bien e mui sabio!
