A lttle something for easter Sunday…..
The journey Christ embarked on
He knew would lead to death,
He asked God to forgive them
Before He drew His final breath.
Many thought His journey over
As they laid Him in a tomb,
But Jesus had spoken of this
Resurrection would come soon.
The third day His Father raised Him
A message of hope would unfold,
It’s meaning was eternal life
For every believer young and old.
The reason for this long journey
Was so all the world could see,
How much Our Father loves us
He gave His only Son for you and me.

And that story has been the excuse for more murder, plunder and death than almost any other.
A pox on all religions.
wow way…i didn’t want to start a war here!!!! i just thought it was nice for an easter sunday. actually i do agree… a lot of probs are started cos’ of religion or should i say…they use that as an excuse!!!:)
A message of hope for those with faith pollie.
hope so rob….not too sure after reading these comments!!! 😀
I agree, rob. 🙂
I also agree ,rob.
They write books today and they are categorized as “Fiction” and “Non-Fiction”, It is about time that “The Bible” and all it’s counterparts were put in the correct column. Then we could forgo all these religious wars and concentrate on killing each other because of our colour and nationality.
i thought they did that already Rod lol!!! 😀
That old chestnut, loss of life caused by religion. Many more souls are carried off by genocide,, ethnic cleansing, disease, dictators, repression, communism, secular doctrines & sheer poverty.
I’m not that brainy to answer that rod but thanks anyways hun!!! 🙂
“Many more” says it all.
And the cause, or the excuse, for genocide, ethnic cleansing repression etc is?
You got it! Religion!
Careful, Waylander, they might start a war against us 🙂
It is incredible that people can’t connect religion with millions being killed in WW2 or the Twin Towers.
well i wouldn’t rod for sure haha!!! 😀
UMMMMMMMMMMM Happy Easter (((((((hugs))))))) and xxxxxx
phew skippy thank you i sure as heck need em!!!! 🙂
Seen the real thing Rod. the little spatts on her don’t scare me lol

thank you again skippy..xx 🙂
I believe in the death and resurrection of Christ pols – thank you for the post xoxox
Wars are started by greedy men and fanatics who use religion to start these wars.
thank you FEY2 me too hun xx 🙂
Well for what it is worth I think religion is just another excuse for starting wars a lame one at that.I think we are all entitled to our beliefs even though we may not all agree.
Thank you Pols. x x
thank you tania. we are all entitled to our beliefs i agree!! 🙂
pollie i liked the poem and dont let them get to you sweetheart. you cant please all of the people all of the time so long as you please some of the people some of the time and you please most of us on here. tania is correct, religion is used as a lame excuse. keep your chin up!!
thank you jcb for your support…i am trying real hard to keep my chin up and i do try to please most people most of the time…:)
For what its worth , I think it’s a lovely poem ,that sums up this Easter time .
Religion is not really to blame for all the wars and bad things in the world
after all God as i see it sent his Son down with a message of love and
peace and if man though his free will chose to ignore it , then he has no
one else to blame
Thanks again for posting it Ma’am x

Pollie , This is a lovely poem and Easter is about Jesus dieing on the cross and was resurected on the 3rd day and I do believe this happen and thanks for posting this poem.

Now stop yer fighting!!!!! We all have our own beliefs….I know I do….I loved it Pollie but I understand that other people maybe don’t have the same experience of life that I have…or the same belief system….there is no way I would fight over it….Unconditional love is what it’s all about…
Much love to all
