Easter and Peeps

bunnyears.jpgY’know peeps? The disgusting marshmallow Easter semi-food that comes in a variety of fascinatingly fake colors? Are you aware that there is an entire subculture of peep worshipping? People set up peeps in little montages – Jesus peeps ministering to their peep flock, peeps on a first date, peeps getting library instruction, peep street fighting with knives, peeps POLE DANCING. Gotta check out peeps-tastic on Flick-r.

OK, I’m going to stop now. Because I’m in danger of damaging my high-falutin’ reputation. It’s just one short step from peeps to … utter ruin, really.

But hey, a moment of religious seriousness after this stunning National Easter Bunny Awareness Day-esque message. I believe that God can raise people to heaven – the traditional Islamic view of how Jesus left the Earth. But y’know what? I’m also good with the idea that God can raise people from the dead. What with being God and all. And I’m not going to fight with Christians on the particular point of Jesus’s death/ascension. And I believe in the virgin birth. And I am not a Christian. And, as you’ve probably determined, despite these traditional beliefs, I’m not actually huge on particular points of faith. These beliefs are not new. If you want to know more about my religious beliefs, you can read a long thread I did last year. Search for “Religion” or, better yet, click on the category “religions” and scroll down to the bottom.
