As a kid it was option 2. It's mostly option 3 now, except I haven't worked for 18 months so it's currently 5.

How about you?

Whenever i hear about how Christ died for my/our sins, the song 'So What?' by Crass always seems to pop into my head:

Quote:

They ask me why I'm hateful, why I'm bad.
They tell me I got things they never had.
They tell me go to church and see the light.
Cos the good lord's always right.

So what, so what.
So what if Jesus died on the cross.
So what about the fucker, I don't give a toss.

..................

So what, so what.
So what if I see through the lies.
So what if the people I despise
Twist my arm and make me work,
I'm no deaf, no fucking jerk.
I'm no spastic lying in the street.
I'm no superstar elite.
I'm just a person, a human being.
NO YOU'RE NOT, YOU'RE A PART OF THE MACHINE.


Edit: thought i'd post a link to the song so you can all enjoy it: click me!

I hate it, it's just commercialisation. Plus the shops are full of children because they are off school. I got into an argument in tescos with a 13 year old, ginger, pregnant thing. If it wasn't easter she would have been at school. Rolling Eyes

Doubtful. She'd have probably been up against a wall round the back of the local Spar, but Tesco's has got cheap chocolate and cider in at the moment...

I upset two religious people on my facebook yesterday with my happy crucifixion day status Embarassed Shifty what? I am going to hell anyway. I know loads there so I wont be lonely.

Anyhow its chocolate time and I am sick of the sight of chocolate already as I was buying eggs from Feb instead of the odd choc bar as they where cheap and chocolate eggs taste way better!

As a kid it meant money in my pocket and chocolate eggs for my brother. As an adult it means a four day weekend, and my first rally of the season...! Cool

The only benefit of Christianity (although mainly due to the Pagans really) are the public holidays.

Although the dis-benefits out-weighs the benefits Sad

As a kid it was just massively more church than usual and a general inconvenience. The catholic primary school thing made this fact even worse.

Now I refuse to acknowledge it and it doesn't even register, I don't buy easter eggs, I don't get them bought for me. Blissful ignorance.

I worked Friday, and I have a funeral to attend Tuesday, so not a massively restful 4 days off this year.

Well it means and end-to-end 104 hours on call for me.

I volounteer. Utter waste of four days off if I have to have them when every myopic numbskull in the country decides to drive the length and breadth of the country in a car full of screaming, vomiting kids and dogs.

Roads are chocca, campsites and hostels are full, can't get food anywhere, bars are choked with families on holiday.

All in all, it's quite possibly the worst weekend of the year to do what I like doing which is riding my motorcycle stupidly fast on nearly empty roads then pitching up somewhere scenic with a bunch of mates, lighting a fire and getting pished.

Nope. You can keep your Easter. My mates and I have worked this weekend and taken next Friday and Monday off in leiu. We'll have a four day holiday when everyone else is sat at home because they've spent up.

Have a happy Easter and don't get stuck behind too many caravans... Suckers. Twisted Evil
