Thoughts:

Like most people of my generation (born prior to WW2), I was raised in a relatively religious environment; Sunday school as a child, church choir, church wedding, church babtisms, and so on. However, as time passed by, it has seemed to me that more and more of the world's conflicts are being fought in the name of one religion, or another. So, as a comparative ''outsider'', nowadays, could anyone explain to me the logic in the expression, ''Happy Easter''? OK, I realise he was supposed to ''rise again'' after a couple of days; but, IMHO, there's very little to be happy about the demise of Jesus Christ and the manner in which it was conducted. #justsaying
