George Monbiot schreibt für die Guardien einen Artikel über Ostern. Den einleitenden Paragraphen finde ich witzig:
Easter is one of those occasions on which human beings entertain a number of contradictory ideas. Christians celebrate a pagan fertility cult, while non-believers make their biannual journey to church. People whose lives are dominated by godless consumption give something up for Lent. A society governed by science engages in the ritual sacrifice and homeopathic magic - eggs and chicks and rabbits - required to induce the earth to bear fruit.
Das ist dann aber auch schon der Höhenpunkt aus dem Artikel. (Via Christdot).
