Easter is a Fairy Tale

The following paragraph comes from a recent article published in the South China Morning Post and written by Kevin Rafferty who used to be the editor of The Universe, which used to be the largest English-language Catholic newspaper.*

The central mystery of Easter is that Jesus Christ — God who became a human — suffered and died for humanity and raised himself from the dead to restore the friendship between God and mankind. Most of the world thinks this is a fairy story.

Most of the world would be correct then.

Can anyone honestly say that they understand the relationship between God and Jesus Christ, and the purported reason why he brought "himself" to Earth, then crucified and resurrected "himself"? What's the point? And where does the Holy Spirit fit in to this cosy threesome? If the Holy Trinity is revered, then is the Judeo-Christian religion truly a monotheistic religion?

Here’s a great little videoclip that ridicules the relationship between God and Jesus Christ.

Even though Easter is a fairy tale, HKSARblog wishes everyone happy holidays! And please don’t worry about the Chinese “double four” or double death date (i.e. 4/4/2010). It’s just localized superstition and has nothing to do with the crucifixion!
