Good Friday.
My reception of Dark Easter, before sunrise on the third day, is colored by my rejection of the myth of the Blood Sacrifice, wherein God is a brutal sacrifice exacted by God to atone for our living according to the energies God gave us. It is a canker in the bloom of Christianity, exactly as slavery is the canker in the bloom of American history, twisting and perverting– or at least compromising– every good impulse. It is a tyranny exacted by tyrants, who cannot imagine an actually free gift, who mistake a blessing for a contract.
