"Lewd".
Holiday stolen from Pagans. Yer lawn care guy is dead.
Why can't "Christians" Just mind their own damn business & shut the Hell up already?

Well said Mr. Brennan. Grace is one of the most beautiful words I have ever met. Because I need it so much in my own life I try to give it in abundance to others.
The beautiful Nasturtiums, the golden flowers on the left, appeared out of nowhere when I returned home from a trip. No one planted them, they planted themselves and now greet me everyday with their happy faces.
Grace, something we didn't do, don't deserve but reap awesome benefits from.
Grace is Easter. Love, lynnie

Grace is something else though.
Graceful behavior has a power that accepts crudity and non criminal anti social behavior for the frustration it is.
Misspelling, poor expression of an idea or just plain anger at what one would like to understand, can be resolved and given merit with a simple, graceful reply.
This is not like having to agree unconditionally, it's more like having some respect for other walks of life.
This is the best post I've ever seen!

Hypocrites all. You subdue & destroy And THEN say "Live & let Live".
If I hate anything, it's Christendom.
Eff yer Grace, bitches. Tell it to the Dead.I remain unrepentant.
edit: I "believe" in The Real. No double talk, no magic.

Well Skully, at times I'm OK, but much of the time I'm a poor excuse for a human being that's supposed to love my neighbor as I love myself, but upon examination I don't .... not really and truly. But I don't call myself a hypocrite cause I know what I truly am. That's where the grace I need comes in. jess sayin', lynnie
Aww Skully, have a good evening. Think we all pretty much care about each other on the topo and try to watch each others back. Peace, L.

Grace should be a faith free exercise. That's all. Do not saddle me with your yokes of baloney.
I'll love you for YOU. For Real. Isn't that enough? And when I die, I'll be dead. Feed for buzzards. I don't want Eternity. Now is plenty.
Sorry to piss on your party. I have no Grace, I guess.
I'll go get drunk in the bathtub now. There's no Jesus eggs there. ;-)

I still dig you, Lynne. You've got Grace down pat.

We're supposed to love our neighbors, but nobody ever said we have to like them.

Chaz, I've never been able to figure that out. A teacher told me that once. But I can't get my brain around loving someone but not liking them. It seems like eventually the two would merge. lynnie

Lol. Yes many religions contain lot's of hypocrites. And were started by hypocrites that wanted to control the stupid. Lots of people that go to churches are dishonest pieces of sh#t. Some people who work in churches are there only to gain access to children so they could molest them. Some priests ride in 1000000$ cars, and ask regular church goers for donations to the church. There are lot's of sick people out there who pretend to be Christians/Muslims/or whatever, who do not live by anything they CLAIM to believe. However, there are some individuals out there that got important lessons out of reading the Bible/Koran/etc, were able to transform their life, and do their best to be a decent human. My understanding of decent human does not involve hatred, murder, child molesting, or beliefs that my religion is superior to what other people believe. And I don't claim to be a saint neither haha. Just saying Christianity could help lot's of people, teach us to be better, but it depends on us, how we use it...teaching your children good lessons and spending time with them (like micronut) over Easter is not a bad thing. I do not see a reason to spray hate into this thread...

Hey Jimmy, nice post!
I'm a cynical observer about the great salvation that allows many to hold up their hands and exclaim how saved they are. Regardless of what it was...
Grace is something else though.
Graceful behavior has a power that accepts crudity and non criminal anti social behavior for the frustration it is.
Misspelling, poor expression of an idea or just plain anger at what one would like to understand, can be resolved and given merit with a simple, graceful reply.

I'm kinda a Jesus-dude, but it sounds like you have the same vibe.
God bless.

Lynne, this means we should 'respect' our neighbors and be nice and 'civil' to them. Doesn't mean they aren't as#@&%es.
Had a chat with an 88yr-old chick at 7-11 today, registered Democrat she later told me. She was spouting off at the clerk about culture decay. I decided to chat with her.
Cool lady. Just very concerned about the future. I tried to reassure her and wish her happy Easter.
She has me and John for the future. And many like us.

I guess I'm crazy, but I think if you practice loving someone, eventually (has taken quite some time with a few people) you end up liking them. It has much to do with the American Indian philosophy that if you walk in their moccasins you understand why they are and who they are. Happy Monday, lynnie
