    Weirdest? Please, take a look at any religious holiday. Let’s take Easter, we celebrate resurrection of man-god who allowed himself to be killed so he could save us, and immediately after resurrection he transformed into god-god and moved to the sky. So anyway we make dyed eggs to celebrate it.

      celebrate resurrection of man-god who allowed himself to be killed so he could save us, and immediately after resurrection he transformed into god-god and moved to the sky.

      Man-god allowed himself to be killed to save us from the wrath of god-god. A being who was mad that the creatures he created weren’t spending all day every day worshiping him exactly as he said to, after giving them the free will to do otherwise.

      The word “celebtate” fits the comment surprisingly well!

      EDIT: The celebtation is over. Now were back to merely celebrating. Ah well, guess that’ll do.

      Let us not forget about the Hare Club For Men, and that Saint Peter was, in fact, a rabbit.

      Or Christmas, where we cut down trees to set up inside and decorate to celebrate said man-god’s birth, except the date is nowhere near his actual birthday
