Chocolate Jesus
This might be my new theme song. Tom Waits has this song called Chocolate Jesus, the first line of the song fits me just fine.
Those of you who know me know that I am no fan of religion, I think its a nice story but from Christianity down to the Cult of Mormonism, religion is basically full of crap.
My religion on Sundays is the back of my eye lids. This weekend is one of my two days a year where I have to stomach an hour at church if for anything else to make my wife happy, The rest of the year, I stay away, it has nothing to do with anything other than the fact that I just don't believe in organized religion.
How can you when you have the Pope and the Catholic church protecting child molesters and the Pope going to Africa, a continent in the midst of an AIDS epidemic telling them not to use contraceptives.
Religion does more harm than good and while there are those that are in it for the good, I simply turn you to a few local churches, like that huge ass office like structure off the 990, tell me that church is in it for anything other than scamming its patrons out of money.
The religious right in this country while again having its good people amongst them is largely racist and violent making them no better than Islamic extremists.
You also have politicians and militias hiding behind their religion instead of admitting that it was all their doing by their own freewill. Religion will be our downfall, its a recipe for predjudice's and hate.
So this Easter I am going to church, and yes my wife's church is among the good ones, it still will not find me there more than twice a year....Easter and Christmas, let this be the new theme song of BBM. Tom Waits, Chocolate Jesus.....(Humble and Fred if I remember correctly used to give out Chocolate Jesus's....I remember Freddie once called them....Chocolate Lords.)

The Story of Easter
This is an interesting story told by a Yak about Easter.....Category: Happy Easter
Chocolate Jesus
This time of year always makes me remember the Humble and Fred chocolate Jesus bit they always did. And I completely got the bit, though some would have it go right over their heads. They have chocolate this and chocolate that, everything from chocolate cell phones to chocolate computer monitors to chocolate sneakers, why no chocolate Jesus? Or as Fred said, Chocolate Lord.
Well Happy Easter again, and here's a chocolate Jesus for ya.

Happy Easter Everybody!
Easter has become a second rate holiday for me. Its kinda low key, you are going to see family and that will be fun, but really, its not about the Easter Baskets for the time being. The wife and I have no kids and well I have requested no Easter basket necessary for years now.
Ive been too old for the chocolate and crappy candy that goes with Easter. So whats left? Brunch, usually baseball but this year some how miraculously Jesus died weeks earlier than usual and Easter precedes baseball season. Im not religious so the church thing doesn't do it for me, So it really is just another day for me. But Happy Easter anyway. Im sure all that will change when we have kids.
One thing I can not stand on Easter....PEEPS! Hate them, the marshmallow with sugar over it in all sorts of gay colors is the most annoying thing on the planet. Here is a cool video for all you Peeps haters, in the mean time, Ill be getting ready for a little brunch and time with family on a holiday that has progressively meant less and less each year. I can't wait till we have kids to bring the kid stuff back into it.
Does anyone else feel the way about peeps that I do? I haven't seen any of them this year yet but I know tomorrow they will show their ugly heads somewhere.
