A propos a conversation my online gang were having about easter and the purpose of the whole resurrection thing.

I've always been hard to disgust, but here's something that disgusts me. How come, when the dead return looking all decayed and unappealing, and stagger around a remote village, or a top-secret research facility, or an outpost on Mars, eating a bit of human flesh and moaning incoherently, and are then heroically defeated and pass into legend, that's a BAD thing..and yet, when the dead return looking all serene, pass a few apparently harmless remarks, and start a cult that intimidates, tortures and crusades its way across the world for a couple of millennia, killing millions of people and displacing millions more while espousing the highest motives, that's a GOOD thing? And now, this weekend, everyone wants to celebrate? That's what disgusts me.
