I Hate Easter
I Hate Easter
I hate Easter. Pretty much always have and I think I always will. Let’s all freak out about Jesus pulling a hat trick. Well guess what folks, zombies aren’t real so Jesus didn’t pop out of a tomb after three days. Sorry for the spoiler.
But my biggest issue with it is the religious fanatics. Like people seem to lose their minds over the Jesus shit. This guy for example wants to rearrange an entire baseball schedule. My in laws are going to cram 25 people into a house that can’t fit more than 10. All because of Zombie Jesus. Thank you Zombie Jesus for ruining my spring every year, asshat.
I take solace in all the unintentional syncretism the religious are participating in. Whole buncha pagan spring fertility festival stuff going on with eggs and fake grass and especially bunnies.
Then, let's not forget the original judgy resurrected son of an older god from the Near-East...
Listen, people are nuts. I don't care who you are, what you believe is crazy from some large group of people's perspectives. Some people believe in fairy tales and magical water walking demigods, and have ridiculous rituals dedicated to them.
The thing about baseball, is that it's business is entertaining the masses. It happens to include a lot of these people who will miss out on important events because of their beliefs and rituals. it doesn't matter how crazy or ridiculous it is, what matters is that lots of people will miss the game, and the baseball business will miss out on revenue.
So yeah, it makes sense for entertainment based industries to move their schedules around stupid religious holidays.
Haha thanks for the lecture dad. Simple vent about the fact religion and sports should not even be related.
And the fact stands, they don’t change the schedule for religious holidays. NFL - Thanksgiving/Christmas, Baseball - Pick a holiday between Spring and Fall, NBA - Christmas. But you’re right, I’m sure this lunatic crying for a Good Friday bye will get their attention and is completely reasonable.
