Over the Equinox the sun dips low to the horizon for three days, then rises. Over Easter the Son dies for three days and then rises.

In either case, I’m coming back to Victoria to experience it under the leyline intersection. Family dinner at the haunted golf club.

    Are you thinking of the (winter) solstice?

    Either way, Happy Easter!

    I suck at Astrology, my bad. But it’s not like it’s a science. I admit to my blind spot: When people tell me magic stories about Jesus I can’t distinguish them from reality, even in the face of scientific evidence.

    This puts you “Astronomy”-types in the interesting position of disproving some (most?) of Zeigeist‘s metaphysical attacks on Christianity.

    Sorry, Zeitgeist Movement Atheists: The science doesn’t back you up.
