by Dan PhillipsIn the meta to my previous post, Mike Hall pointed me ultimately to something that had me literally slack-jawed.
Step away from sharp objects, sit down, have your heart-medicine at hand, take a few deep and slow breaths...
...and read this.
You'll see "A Special Note About Easter" which, according to pastor Blake Hickman, came from the First Look Sunday School publishers.
In the letter they explain how — you are sitting down, right? I wasn't kidding. They explain why they are leaving Easter out of their Easter materials. They've decided that the story of the Cross is too violent and disturbing for young children, and the Resurrection wouldn't make any sense without it, so they "are focusing on the Last Supper, when Jesus shared a meal and spent time with the people He loved."
I just... is this Scrappleface? Is this some sort of joke?
