He is risen

Yesterday was Easter. I celebrate it out of a sense of tradition but I have mixed emotions about Christianity. And I am just plain scared of Jesus' fervent worshipers.

As we drove to a relative's house yesterday for Easter dinner. I saw a hand painted sign on a sheet hanging from an overpass that said, "He is risen".

I don't get it. Did someone take a good sheet from their closet to create this? Did they say to someone last week, "Hey thanks for the invite but I'll have to take a rain check because I'm making this great sheet painting for our local overpass." ?

After passing the sign it made me think to pray. So, I uttered a short prayer to myself that I saw once on a T-shirt. "Jesus please save me from your followers. Amen."
