On Easter

Today 4 April, Juche 99, the Christian world, with the exception of the Orthodox faiths celebrated the Easter holiday. The Easter Holiday, celebrates the resurrection of the prophet Jesus of Nazareth, the founder of Christianity. I believe that this holiday is inane. I do not observe this holiday for two major reasons. The first reason is that I believe, that Jesus of Nazareth had his crucifixion coming to him. He committed treason against the Roman Empire. Although, Jesus never completely admitted to being the "King of the Jews", he never denied it either. According to the new testament, when Pontius Pilate asked Jesus, "are you king of the Jews?" Jesus simply responded by saying, "If you say so". In ancient Rome, treason was declaring that you yourself were king or emperor or consul of a Roman territory. Since Jesus, never denied being king of the Jews, he obviously committed treason. The second major reason as to why, I refuse to celebrate Easter is because it is a historical fact, that Jesus of Nazareth died on such and such a day that corresponds with the Passover holiday around 34 C.E. The date of Jesus' death cannot change from one year to another, he either died on, hypothetically, 13 April 34 C.E., or he died on December 25. The date of his death cannot change every year, it is preposterous. Now the question remains, is do I believe that Jesus died on the day known as "Good Friday" and resurrected on Easter Sunday. Well my belief is that this story is just a continual rip off of every other ancient pagan religion. Krishna rose from the dead, along with Herakles, and even Mithras.
