Jesus Fucking Christ, Christians, you can see Jesus in the clouds, you can see Jesus in a piece of toast, you can even see Jesus in a dog’s butt, so why are you all so upset that Google has a picture of Cesar Chavez in the O of their logo yesterday? It was, after all, his birthday.
It was not Jesus’ birthday. That is celebrated (by you) on December 25th, which is probably nowhere close to his actual birthday (i.e. winter is not the time when shepherds are watching their flocks by night), and nobody needs two birthdays.
Easter commemorates his rising from the dead, or at any rate the day they discovered that his body was missing and some of his followers started spreading this “rose from the dead” story, which is, by the way, the definition of a zombie.
But Easter is not the same day every year. It is the 1st Sunday after the 1st full moon after the Spring Equinox, which means it can be anywhere between the 22nd of March and the 25th of April (between the 4th of April and the 8th of May in the Eastern Orthodox Churches). It will coincide with Chavez’ birthday once every 35 years or so.
That’s not really my point, though. If you are really so devoted to Jesus, go to church. You will see a big statue of him up on a cross, the preacher will spend an hour or so talking about him, you can get as much Jesus as you want.
Not everybody who uses Google is a Christian. (I’m not, for instance. The vast majority of those using Google in Asia, to name a few more) We non-Christians get a little bit tired of seeing Jesus this and Jesus that everywhere we look.
Cesar Chavez was a good guy. Jesus would have probably liked him, if the accounts we’ve been given of Jesus’ life are at all accurate. So, maybe you should just let this one go, O.K.?
