http://www.goanfoods.com ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I enjoyed reading everyone's Easter reflections so I thought I'd share my own, sans the "bitter coffee" ofcourse :)) Being an agnostic is a very freeing experience. It's also a painful process. It begins with a lot of questions and ends with a certain amount of despair. Along the way though, you do a lot of research hoping to find something that leads you to "God". The only thing I've found with any amount of certainty so far, is that God didn't create man in his image but man created God in his. The Jesus Christ I know was a rabble rouser. He so detested orthodox Judaism that he was determined to form a new religion. Among the things he hated about it was its exclusivity. Which is why Paul and Peter (the much underrated heros of Christianity), abolished so many of the chains that bound Judaic followers. For a man who abhored exclusivity, it's difficult to attribute a religion that professes eternal damnation to anyone who isn't part of it. When Jesus, (assuming he ever did utter these words) said "I am the way, the truth and the life", could it not mean that he was seriously saying to the Jews, you better change your thought processes because continuing the way you are, is not going to get you anywhere. Anyway, I had a wonderful Easter with my family. It was a dark, gloomy day, perfect for staying in, eating Pulau and reflecting on the small joys of life. Thoughts of crucifixions, executions, resurrections were far from our minds. But spring, the renewal of life and its eternal promise of better things to come were close at hand.
