    Easter Sunday is on April Fools Day!

    I know this is a little late, but is there anything we can do about this?

    This year the day of the Resurrection takes place on April Fool's Day

    - Now I am not sure where "April Fools' Day falls in the liturgical calendar or what its Biblical Origins are*, but I foresee a lot of Interweb trolls making fun of Jesus.

    Blasphemy is never good for serious religion - it is very worrying and distracting and any opportunity that encourages it at all should be stamped out at an early stage... (Yes, I am fully aware that this is a late stage, but nobody else has mentioned it!)



    *Probably that verse about "A fool and his money are soon parted." - Which reminds me... there has been an increase in tithes.

    This is a travesty. Atheists all over the world will be rolling on the floor laughing. President Trump has not been in office long enough to fix this--Obama/Clinton could have done so but they think it's a big joke also.

    The only this we can do is shame those who make light of Jesus. They need to be told that for making a joke about this one year on the calendar they will burn for an eternity.

    After church, I will be walking the streets of the metro area here calling out any ridicule I see.
    Isaiah 24:1-3 Behold, the LORD maketh the earth empty (2)...as the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him. (3) The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD hath spoken his word.
