Driving through the early morning mist, around 40 worshippers from several Churches met at the bottom of Hope Road in Shanklin on Easter Sunday for a special service.
As the sun rose, they celebrated the resurrection of Jesus.
Many then stayed for bacon butties at the South East Beach Café which opened especially for the occasion.
Brian Harley, minister of Shanklin United Reformed, said:
“It was great to see members from a number of local congregations joining together as a witness to our faith in Jesus – our crucified and risen Lord, a glorious morning in so many ways!”
And with the rising of the Easter bunny, so started the legend of Easter.
Religion the earliest form of mind control. Allstanding there to worship a fictional character
Hilarious.. And so Jesus..or is it God or both? Anyway they/he/she/it looked down at the worshippers while also looking down at the gazillion other life forms on a gazillion other planets throughout our infinite universe and they said – lo! You are worthy etc. Now then – wear this, eat that, say this – cos some bloke (and it’s always a bloke – no women cos they’re inferior and I’m a bloke, God etc, anyway – do all these things old blokes with beards from 1000s of years ago made up and cobbled together in books like the bible, koran etc and your spirit will live forever in heaven with unlimited wifi and netflix.
But will we meet our pets in Heaven? Of course! all your pets are waiting for you!
So all animals? Flies? All bacteria? Yes!
I ran out of space…. but you get the picture.
How sweet. Totally pointless… but sweet. Ahhh….
And Gary said unto them: “Do you want to be in my gang?”
Jesus walked into a pub and went up to the counter. The barman said “what’ll it be?” Jesus placed three very large nails on the counter and said “Can you put me up for the night?”
