So this is Pascha.  I ate meat and cheese for the first time yesterday since March 1.  Good times.

Even you atheist types, huzzah!  My sky god's got enough pull to go around.
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.

I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Didn't he rise last week?

Orthodox Christians disagree.

I was surprised our Cairo office had closed last week because of Easter.
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Orthodox Christianity is a tiny, unimportant sect.

Also, it should be "He is Risen Indeed!"

Cool, Scipio is living a week behind the rest of the universe.  Hey Scip, has that pirate thing been resolved yet?  I don't want to spoil it for you but the ending is pretty cool.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Do Orthos all wait till December 26 to start Christmas shopping?

Congrats, you Orthodox Heretics!!! (yes, I know that's an oxymoron if there ever was one)  :P

We had a nice mass Mass in Madrid -  you do call your services Masses, right? It was exotic and charming, with bearded Popes, candles Greek singing and lots of Spanish and Romanian flags. I hope it was enough to make Catholic Bishops feel shivers down their spines... (recent statistics say there is roughly 1,5 millions Orthodox Christians in Spain, between 2 and 3 for every Muslim; Orthodoxy is by far the fastest growing religion in Spain since Romania and Bulgaria joined the EU, if not before)

They also walk on their hands and eat from their butts.

That's kind of ironic considering your "religious" history  :lol:
