Thoughts on Crosses

Little painted baby sacksI found myself wading in a pool of Wikipedia today, reading up on Easter which got me to thinking about Judaism and wondering what differences there might be in their version of the Old Testament which lead me to an article which claims that in the 2nd century their was a small movement to eliminate the Old Testament, and even books of the New Testament which quoted their previous counterpart, from Christianity all together. I wonder how vastly different the world might be today if such a powerful religion had been anchored more around the teachings of Jesus, that happy beard-slinging hippy, rather than the dauntingly frightening wrath of God, laughably unscientific history of the world, and several important chapters about who begat who.

Would a world based on turning the other cheek and healing the blind — rather than flooding all of Earth and causing your most loyal followers to break out in festering boils — not be a bit happier of place, perhaps?

Maybe there could be an episode of Sliders where that’s happened. Also, I made that egg there completely in Photoshop and just for all of you special someones, in celebration of fertility and hard boiled.
