No matter how bored, and no matter how tempting, don't let an online discussion about the meaning of "the true meaning of Easter" devolve into debating the laundry list of Christianity's crimes against humanity with a member of "Paganism". Especially one who says that Pagans who do antisocial and egotistical things are "absolutely NOT Pagans" because that would go against the Pagan Creed.

I could have spent the last hour playing with trains, or something.

Tomorrow, I think I shall write about mobile phones, why can't post photos from my new phone just yet. Which is a pity, because I've got a lovely shot of the MiG-21 that looks like it's stuck in traffic on Lichfield Street, and have had a haircut.

The true meaning of Easter? Would that be celebrating the death by crucifixion of some carpenter a couple of thousand years ago? :-P

Apparently it's a festival for the Anglo-Saxon spring goddess Eostre, don'tchaknow.

Hmm. In my experience, the true meaning is actually "Yay, I don't have to go to work! Oh crap, the shops are all shut."

The religion is just an excuse for a public holiday.

More religions should be like that. I want time off for Diwali and Eid dammit.
