[Eccl 10:2]

"Best joke I heard in a comedy club...

For those of you in the audience I want to wish you a Happy Easter.

For those of you in the audience responsible for this holiday, I want to wish you a Happy Passover."

Why is this funny? It's just ignorant. Easter is simply a pagan celebration of fertility (read "sex") meant to displace God's designated (Ex 12, Lev 23) holy day of Passover.

The "Jews" did not kill Jesus - Jesus was King of the Jews. Every book of the Bible was written by a Jew. The apostles and the first disciples were all Jews.

In fact, Easter is never mentioned in the Bible (nor is Christmas for that matter).

Humor is only funny when based on fact. Otherwise it's just dumb. Please don't perpetuate ignorance.

And don't tell me I don't have a sense of humor - I have a wonderful sense of humor.

Jesus is Lord.

"Easter is simply a pagan celebration of fertility"

No it's not. That is rude and insulting to Christians. Jesus made passover obsolete. Christ is now the lamb. He took our sin u[pon himself. He made animal sacrifice obsolete, meaningless. If you read the gospel, you'd understand the significance of what Christ did. If you choose to reject Christ and remain bond by the old laws, fine, but don't insult others for accepting Christ. He did after all prove beyond any shadow of doubt who he was.

Perhaps you should try reading it first before you make such rediculous statements

For you maybe, but most of us here weren't raised pagan.

Just so you know where Easter is mentioned in the bible, the Apostle Paul refers to "easter" in his first letter to the Corinthian Church where he states: "For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth."

Christ brought us out of sin, and defeated death offering us life everlasting. Easter is the most important celebration for Christians.

Wellll.... Technically he didn't say it was funny. Just the best he had heard in a comedy club! :-)

Thanks for your post. I thought it was only me that didn't find that 'joke' funny at all. Same old same old slander against the jews. Funny, NOT

I bet you also have a great personality and are Rubenesque. You might also like jazz, love walks on the beach and are looking for someone who's financially secure?
