Let us now celebrate Eoster, pagan Goddess of Spring, on the first Sunday after the first Full Moon after the Spring Equinox, replete with fertile bunnies and eggs, and let the Christians pretend they invented it all.
A weird serial cartoon (calling it a “comic strip” would be “disrespectful”).
Is the “lamb of God” supposed to be that little animal following the young Christ in panel 2, rather than Christ himself? Or is Varvel actually saying that the baby Christ was covered in white wool? And is that supposed to be the same lamb in both panels 1 and 2, having aged not at all?
The attempt at poetry may be clever, but the confused images are ludicrous. Not worshipful at all, in my opinion.
The dogwoods are blooming, so it must be time for doggerel?
Even when I was a credulous little kid, I couldn’t get my mind wrapped around the supposed “Easter Miracle”: Too many ways it could have been human action… and too many Jesus cultists who would have a reason to want a “miracle”.
Anybody ever wonder why the most sacred date in Christianity is determined by the Lunar cycle? Hint – it was ‘borrowed’ from the Pagan Mithra religion.

Oh, that’s a sad old story about a mother who has to watch her son, who is far too young, die twice in just a few days.

Is this an excerpt from a new school textbook Betsy Devos is trying to replace science books with?

Considering all the hate spread by Christians, it was a waste of time.

Oops.. Did Gary really mean to dress Mary in a hijab, traditional Muslim garb? Surely Mary was a white blond that loved to show her tresses.

Magic Jebus was an amazing person. Too bad Christians pay no attention to his teachings. Take care of the poor, not the murders of our MIC.
