I wanna talk about easter and jesus and stuff
I'm here for all of your jesus stuff needs
I had the thought the other day that the two biggest celebrations of Christ (Christmas and Easter, obvs) are, while being obvious points in his life to celebrate, are odd in several respects.
Christmas, for the fact that other than his birth, there's nothing exactly remarkable to celebrate. He was born. That's about it. No major events transpired or miracles occurred (other than his conception, of course), and it's arguably the biggest day on the Christian calendar. I've always been curious what the dogmatic obligations are w/r/t celebrating this date.
Easter, on the other hand, is all about Superjesus; he was martyred, he went to heaven, he returned to earth, the promise is fulfilled. Big heady stuff, and some of the most important things in Christianity obviously, but am I weird in thinking that so much focus about this martyred rabbi is centered around him basically being a wizard who performs magic tricks? Is that why we are supposed to worship and revere him? Because he can fly and is hydrophobic and brings lots of booze to parties?
What are your thoughts on mainstream Christianity (especially evangelicals) not spending much energy actually talking about Jesus' life and ministry?
Easter always made more sense for me from looking in. It was the reverence of returning from the dead and proof of things I think.
Christmas is part of the whole taking on pagan rites and festivals to sell to the masses.
Coming from a Jew's perspective at least.
Dude, you can't say Jew nowadays. That's not PC. It's actually "Monotheists in comfortable hats."
Oh no. A sports ball related group is a client of mine now. I'm going to have to pretend to like sports ball.
Learn this phrase:
"I thought Halfpenny being injured was going to be the end for Wales this Six Nations, but it seemed like he was holding them back! My heart was in my mouth that final ruck in the England-France match, let me tell you."
You will establish credentials as a sports person, but in a sport they will be unlikely to have interest in. You will seem jocky from the sport and cultured from the foreignness.
did you see that ludicrous display last night
The thing about Arsenal is, they always try and walk it in
For realsies, though, Super Saturday was the first, second and third game of rugby I'd ever watched to completion, and I was riveted. Great sporting all round.
i watched some australian rugby once and almost kinda maybe understood what was happening
It helped that I'd watched the Giant Bomb Quicklook beforehand and had half a dozen rugby fan friends who were happy to explain things to me during the match.
for me it was my buddy and i and like a dozen beers and just going

Fun fact: You used to not get any points for a try, hence the name. It allowed you to "try" to "convert" the play into some points (also hence "conversion").

What are your thoughts on mainstream Christianity (especially evangelicals) not spending much energy actually talking about Jesus' life and ministry?
Lemme preface this with - I am not a scholar and my understanding of things is really pretty limited in a lot of ways.
As for Christmas, aside from the virgin birth you've got the star that was part of other prophecies. And Jesus' birth gets the big deal status from a few directions. Firstly, dude, Jesus! The Son of God! Secondly, Christmas didn't start out Christmas, it's a pagan holiday that got hijacked. So, the celebratory bits were already in place, the church just re-branded it.
Easter is cooler, in part because Jesus died and went to hell (where, depending on the translation and tradition, he preformed a huge cosmic jailbreak) then came back to chill with his homies and do some more teaching, then went on to be with God. And it's as much about the teachings leading up to the resurrection as it is the empty tomb, itself. (and there's a lot about the empty tomb that's important for the beliefs and traditions of that time as well as Jewish beliefs)
As far as a lot of Christians ignoring all of the important bits in between, it does bother me. People seem to only want to point to the big events, in part, imo, because they're more socially acceptable. Saying, "I'm a Christian," isn't exactly a way to win friends these days. Also, it's human nature to want to be a part of something bigger than one's self, and few things in the Christian tradition have more of that kind of energy than Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Plenty of "Christians" are chreasters (only attend on Christmas and Easter) - a whole lot of people deal with the guilt of not going on regular ol' Sundays by at least attending on the 2 big days. Consequently, churches try to keep those naturally big deal dates as awesome as they can in an effort to fill the pews in the "normal" season. Which, I think, sort of backfires...but that's just me.
So much of what the evangelicals latch onto as the Word, is post Jesus...particularly Timothy (which is supposedly written by Paul, but almost defiantly isn't). Taking the Bible literally drives me bonkers for a whole slue of reasons, and not just because these folks cherry-pick what they're going to weaponize out of a book that's meant to help spread love and acceptance. As soon as you make the Bible or the teachings of Christs about fear and judgement you've lost the entire point, as far as I'm concerned.
TL;DR God loves you, and you, and you, and you, and you...and anyone who doesn't agree is missing the point of Christianity
