Decked out like a Peep

Oh yeah, you know I'm talking about Peeps on Good Friday.

I looked online to see if anyone has made Jesus Peeps, but I didn't find any.

It's Easter weekend. This means most of nothing to me, since I'm Buddhist, but I do get the vibe of resurrection/renewal/rebirth (the Christians didn't invent that shit, y'know). This Sunday I plan to make our family's holiday staple: lasagna. I will also watch Mary Poppins on TV, and definitely I will watch Jesus Christ Superstar at some point.

I bet when I check the mailbox I'll have an Easter card from my brother and his wife. Funny how they think it's still appropriate to send me these religious cards on Christian holidays that I don't celebrate. I'm sure this Buddhism thing is just a phase I'm going through (at the age of 42, after 9 years), and eventually I'll find my way back to Mother Church. Not to be confused with Mother Russia.

Riddle me this...

A question for anyone else interested in paranormal -

Why is it that only Christian or Catholic rites of exorcism are deemed to work? No one goes to a Buddhist lama when they think they are haunted by a demon (and yes, Buddhists do believe in the spirit world, especially Tibetans). I wonder about that - is it because most people at least recognize Christianity and can therefore receive a psychological placebo effect?
