“Easter occurs on different dates each year because, like the Jewish Passover, it is based upon the vernal equinox, that dramatic moment when the hours of the day-light and the hours of darkness at last draw parallel and then the light finally and triumphantly wins out. Thus Easter is always fixed as the first Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. It's a cosmic, solar, and lunar event as deeply rooted in religious traditions originating from sun-god worship as one could conceivably imagine.” YearsFirstsDifferentMomentsLightLastsWinningHoursReligiousDarknessSunImagineEventsMoonWorshipSpringDrawsTraditionFollowingFixedDramaticSundayCosmicRootedEasterParallelsFull MoonReligious TraditionsEquinoxSun God Author:Tom Harpur
“If Christ be a fraud, he was among the most peculiar yet brilliant of frauds in saying that only he was the way, the truth, and the life. This is the importance of grace - some people think that simply being nice and not harming others is morality; others think that following rules and tithing are morality. But without Christ, all moral beliefs ultimately boil down to the one sin which perpetually rails against the concept of grace: man's lawful, religious, and futile attempt at establishing his own righteousness.” PeopleIfsThinkingMenWayBeliefChristReligiousSinMoralGraceNiceMoralityConceptsImportanceFollowingBrilliantRighteousnessFraudPeculiarBeing NiceRailTithingHarming OthersFollowing RulesMoral Beliefs Book:Killosophy Source: Killosophy
