The Happy Easter Thread

Happy Easter...

Hey Kotario I'm really surprised by your post. Not only that I didnt know you were religious, but also I didnt know you took it seriously enough to actually help out at Mass.

Though deeply religious people are often very modest about it so I think thats a good thing.

Sincerely,

He explicitly said he has not found religion (yet) and that he helps out because he lives on church property.
Que?

Quite a bit of singing. The service was organized to crescendo, to build up an atmosphere for the post-Mass church celebration. In addition, they kept the church dark until the end, only lit by candles (at least until the Communion, so people could walk the aisle). Which lead to quite a nice effect as dawn broke and the stained glass windows were gradually lit by the rising sun.

It was my first Easter Mass, and the more religious aspects were likely lost on me.

Like Sander noticed, TVD, I'm not relgious (deep or shallow).
 
Happy easter Fallouters !!!!

Some months ago I read Albert Bates 's article about a positive future after the end of our oil reserves using as case study the movie "Wallace and Gromit - The Curse of the Were-Rabbit". He illustrates his analyses with Carters view on the issue in the 70s and gives hope for a good world after petroleum and what some nations are doing to fully implement alternative power sources.

The village portrayed in the cartoon is ecological and economical. Cars are few, small, utilitarian, and evidently alternatively-fueled. Every house has a vegetable garden and greenhouse. People get around mostly by foot or by bicycle, and distances are not large. An annual vegetable-growing competition is a Big Deal.

Wallace is not a Luddite. He is a tinker. There is a proliferation of wacky gadgets, ranging from a machine that puts on Wallace’s boots for him to a device that catapults dollops of jam onto a piece of toast as it springs out of a pop-up toaster. Just because there is no petroleum to make poly sheathing and natural gas to make fertilizer doesn’t mean you can’t have greenhouses full of cucumbers. Even the fuddy-duddyest residents of Wallaby Lane get

What the fuck, mate? Are you being serious? Using a Wallace and Gromit flick as a portrayel of a post-oil utopia? What have you been smoking? And what has Albert Bates been smoking? We're talking about animated putty here, you know? Instead of reading the rantings of a green lunatic, you might want to read the real stuff, like

"The Twilight of the Modern World - The Four Stages of the Post-Oil Breakdown" by Paul Thompson
"The Peak of World Oil Production and the Road to the Olduvai Gorge" by Richard C. Duncan
and
"The Olduvai Theory: Sliding Towards a Post-Industrial Stone Age" by Richard C. Duncan

Get prepared before it's too late!
 
Happy Easter! I'm orthodox so Easter is next sunday for me... You know I have always wondered why the catholic and orthodox church couldn't agree on the same calendar... I mean it's not like they crucified that misunderstood hippie twice....
Oh and the eggs are really nice, we have those too over here and they are quite beautiful, especially those done in Bucovina, they are quite expensive too. I'll post a link later on.
 
c0ldst33ltrs4u, you do realise that none of the dates in religion actually matter? calendars have changed countless times since then, so even if the events actually happened, you'd never be able to pinpoint it on a fixed date. not that it matters of course.

(not to mention that easter falls on a weekend each time. it's not even a fixed date.)

I thought that was part of a conspiracy to screw the working man out of a day off...
and what I meant by the calendar thing is that they couldn't agree on the same week... always thought christianity was about, among other things, consent.
