New Pope on her way...
Just heard one of the Popes or Dalia Lamer died?
[crocodile tears on standby]
Strangely enough, despite efforts to the contrary, we all die and don't return. Except Mithras and a few Marvel and DC Superheroes...
A lot die by accident, attrition and being asses. [who noticed?]
Strangely enough, we also have reasons to live for example:
Popes, Queens and some atheists live lives of service to others. I'll join but am too shellfish.
Unlike this Egyptian Goose and her goslings...

Re: Funny Stuff
I think Judas drew the short straw. He's been vilified and painted as the bad guy, but he rejected the 30 pieces of silver in disgust, then went and hanged himself. And let's not forget that Christ's wing-man ('You are the rock on which I will build my church') Peter, denied 3 times that he even knew Jesus.
Judas tried to be honest and felt Jesus was over-stepping the mark, and confided in those running the show.... Jesus wasn't the only thorn in the side of the Roman - or Jewish - authorities, which is why he had to identify Jesus to those who came to arrest him. According to historical evidence, there were probably more than 3 crucifixions planned for that weekend - which was Passover - and several Jews met the same fate as Jesus, being dispatched more quickly than usual so that the Passover feast on Shabbat would not be sullied by the suffering of Jews. Poor Judas. Maligned and misunderstood.
And if he had carved the turkey, he would have been carving the breast - front - of the roast, not the back. So even that accusation is unfair.
You're all very welcome!
Signed, this weekend's resident wet blanket! ๐๐๐

Re: Important Stuff
Welcome to the Darkside
Just for Easter Sunday. Christ, Buddha and assorted godlies and goodlies will be back shortly. No doubt...
