Easter is the holiest of the Christian holy celebrations.

I always thought it was strange for people to pick out a few days out of the year to be good. Why is one day different that the next? Good is good. Bad is bad.

The days came in to replace pagan days. The events may tie to these days, they may not.

Christians can celebrate the gift of Jesus' birth everyday(signifying his time on Earth among men and the gift of God's only son).

Christians can also celebrate the redemption of the resurrection, Jesus died for our sins and we are saved.

The muslims speak of Jesus but not as God made man (denying the gift) and without the crucifiction (thus the redemption is lost).

Some Christians glorify in these 2 events every day that they contemplate them. God loves me.

We are sinners, we are imperfect. We do things inspite of what we should do. However, to step forward and make a profession of faith and celebrate the glory 1 minute and then violate 1 of the 10 commandments seems to indicate serious lack of self-control.

Bill Clinton had the signs of sexual addiction. He did not step forward to publicly try to work through this. He denied the activities altogether and blamed his enemies. Admitting your foibles is difficult but burying them inside your self-concious only lets them fester.
