What does Easter represent?

Your Christian days would have taught you that.

Easter, the cornerstone of Christianity, the fact that the Son of God came to earth and was rejected so much that he was put to death, yet overcame death and was resurrected so that we might have life.
This means nothing to you?
I dunno, maybe it is the sheer emotion involved. I find the entire thing to be a story so moving, so sacrificial, so redemptive... it's easily the most moving part of the Bible for me.
Maybe that's it, then. Can't ever show that caring side, eh? Not even when we're talking about the entire reason the religion still exists today. Supposedly your religion. One might be excused for thinking you might care about it, even if just a little.
