I know we have a few respectable religious members on the board so I'll try this a bit differently....
I hope everyone made the best of the day....for Christians, this is an important holiday on the calendar.
I'm not religious....grew up with it and just don't buy it. I respect the structure and values prescribed. I respect that 95% of people who practice do so with honest and sincere integrity.
I actually very much enjoyed being home with my immediate family and having no part of the extended family. I smoked a turkey, wife made a cheesecake and a bunch of other stuff. Drank some PBR and enjoyed a nice cigar.
Arguably one of the best days in this mess of whatever you want to call it. If you missed being around your extended families....I can understand....that sucks for most people.
Thats a very good response. NOt everyone believes what Christians believe. Some do not believe in anything regarding a Supreme Being or God and there are different religions and belief systems around the world. Its perfectly okay. As long as we do not attack people because of their individual beliefs and they don't attack us for ours, its a cool world.
For me personally this is the first time in over 50 years that we haven't shared Easter with family together so I was kind of bummed. We did conference with our kids and stuff but it just wasn't the same. It was kind of just another day except for a great meal.
