Of course, I don't think people celebrate that he died but what legacy he left behind him.
I just wish we could look forward.
I don't think Jesus wanted us to become frozen in time. He would have wanted us to build temples to other great men. And challenge other great systems. And understand oppression.
Honestly, Christianity was a more valuable religion when they had it in the lion pits. We have passionate Christians today, but they do not know what the word oppression really means. And I know that statement is over-general, but I mean to say that it is more widespread within the faith than it should be.
The Jewish community understands oppression. Understands austerity. Understands what it means to be auspicious. The Christian churches just try to get bigger and bigger and bigger.
I am not TRYING to compare the two, I just naturally do. But you can see the difference. The Jewish community is supportive in a much larger way than the standard Christian families (especially in the cities, where Christians lack structure that is not completely centered around economy).
Like, compare the acceptance of Hebrew people around the world, compared to the acceptance of Free Masons (mainly protestant and sometimes even Mormon members). And Free Masons don't have a history of murder for god and conquering everything they see (unless you automatically tie them to the Templars, which some people say you can. And unless you consider the current priorities of the US gov).
