You are neither a follower nor an historian but you are a preacher. Your Easter Sunday speech has the self-righteous tone of the religious zealots you criticize. Religion has certainly not brought peace to the world; but is that God’s fault or man’s? You’ve heard of free will? Perhaps at least a cursory review of the Bible, even from a purely historical context would enlighten you, before you proclaim your “wisdom” while ignorant of so much of what you criticize. On the historical note, have you heard of Anno Domini? It is Latin for “In the Year of the Lord” and is most often abbreviated as A.D. It is often assumed by those who have not studied history—at even the most basic level—that A.D. stands for “After Death.” The stone turning to which you refer did not occur “some 2006 years ago.” Pontius Pilate was not governor of Judea till 26AD. The EARLIEST that stone turning could have occurred was 1,980 years ago. I frankly welcome the fact that you have the free will not to be “a follower"; but please don't preach to me. Please add an appropriate sticky note to your collection., anonymous

So....eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we die? And then what? What's the purpose if all we ever do it think of ourselves, or do for ourselves? Sad state of affairs I would say as most of us are our worst critic and nothing we ever do can please us. We just keep moving to the next level, to attain something more. But never getting there because as one need is satisfied, we have 3 more. And then what? DB, Calgary

Well I am pleasantly surprised and happy that you are off on a warm adventure.... Remember to take a least a few moments and let the sun warm your face and enjoy being right were you are at that moment!... , KG, Osoyoos
