easter celebrations

dusk arising

 

I have been amazed!

over this lockdown period

many christians have come forward

and announced their disappointment

in not being able to have

easter celebration parties

which would be joyous occasions

where champagne would flow

and sherry sipped.

How absolutely weird!

i should have thought

a more appropriate marking

of the murder of jesus by mankind

would be solemn prayer

asking for forgiveness.

You might say they are

celebrating his rise from the dead

for which of course there would

be no need if mankind hadnt

killed him in the first place.

How macabre it is to see

all around christianity

images of a tortured man

nailed to a cross.

What a strange thing this

christianity is with so many

dual standards inbuilt.

    Tis odd, an observation and subsequent opinion shared by many I imagine.......

    Thanks Dusk Arising,

    A good write and thought provoking poem.

    Well, Corvid 19 is certainly challenging people of faith around the world.

    May God bless you and keep you safe through this pandemic.

    Keep writing FineB

    So true d a, as you know I was a christian, I was even a Chaplain and led services but that all changed and a weight was lifted from me. Those dual standards are there all the time, the only belief that is important is your own that is within you, as mine now is. Cbristianity is a farce!

    Agree with Neville - tis odd indeed
    - -- and questions raised here would require answers that would mean the breaking of many rules of religion.
