Don't be racist.

Not Racist, and you still don't know the true meaning of Easter or pretend not to would be more like it.

Perhaps many books will have to be changed to see things your way, or at least the way you pretend it to be?

Easter will not be the same time next year.
The date is 20th of April
It depends on the moon.

For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me...... Most assuredly, I say to you, We speak what We know and testify what We have seen, and you do not receive Our witness. If I have told you earthly things and you do not believe, how will you believe if I tell you heavenly things?...... Jesus said to him, “Why do you call Me good? No one is GOOD but One, that is, God.


Then, I said, the business of us who are the founders of the State will be to compel the best minds to attain that knowledge which we have already shown to be the greatest of all—they must continue to ascend until they arrive at the GOOD; but when they have ascended and seen enough we must not allow them to do as they do now.

What do you mean?

I mean that they remain in the upper world: but this must not be allowed; they must be made to descend again among the prisoners in the den, and partake of their labours and honours, whether they are worth having or not.

But is not this unjust? he said; ought we to give them a worse life, when they might have a better?

You have again forgotten, my friend, I said, the intention of the legislator, who did not aim at making any one class in the State happy above the rest; the happiness was to be in the whole State, and he held the citizens together by persuasion and necessity, making them benefactors of the State, and therefore benefactors of one another; to this end he created them, not to please themselves, but to be his instruments in binding up the State.

Monday, April 1, FOOLS' Day?

Certainly, your words echo profound wisdom. The interplay between earthly and heavenly matters, the pursuit of knowledge, and the intricate balance of happiness within a society are themes that have resonated across time and cultures.
In the dialogue you’ve shared, there are layers of meaning and allegory.
Problem is your confusing the hell out of rusty.
