Easter and Good Friday are all a celebration of the transmutation of Jewish dietary laws into their modern equivalents.
It's okay to serve him; he was cursed.
There's that totally sweet passage* in Acts where Peter sees the big blanket full of tasty meat and God is all "go for it, POBAD from now on."
*paraphrase
IIRC, God's instructions to Peter are literally something like "go forth Peter, kill and eat.". So awesome.
We went to a seder last night, and for the first time I noticed the part where you are BOUND BY GOD to eat ALL THE MEAT. That's really great. Thanks, god!

Is there some charitable or otherwise non-wasteful cause eleven bottles and five cans of beer can be put to? I have it left over from a party, I have a rule against drinking alone, and I don't have any other dos to which I could bring them coming anytime soon.

Eating lamb on Easter (from other thread!) is...is...like that holiday where atheists eat nothing. Yom Kippur.
11: Cook lots of things with beer in them? Chili, cheese soup with beer... I'm out of things.
Carbonnade. Belgian beer is obvs best, but anything other than lager will do if it's what you've got.

I did not have the link in 6 in mind when I suggested that Unfogged come to Richmond.
3: Lamb is delicious, so stop thinking about that. I went to a hotel brunch yesterday and stuffed myself to bursting. I tried to maximize my consumption of expensive foods since it was all-inclusive. I ate more oysters than was probably fair and skipped all the bread.
it's a shibboleth.
he who eats the ham is a Christian. he who refuses the ham is an unbeliever.
once the determination has been made, proceed as appropriate.
6: No fair doing cross-thread low-hangng fruit while I'm asleep Nice one, teo!
I will note that in the thread linked by Bave in 3 (Easter last year), his comment followed Stanley mentioning the same thing about ham in comments. And then later in the thread Stanley related a story about a different transportation-oriented term for a sexual activity.
First as comments, then as front-page posts. Not that that means the blog is over or anything. Who's the smartest person you ever had Easter dinner/passover with? What was their salary?

JESUS AND ZERO
What were his SATs?
Probably pretty good. He's on record as winning a viva voce debate with tenured faculty at the age of 12.
After posting that I recalled that the Monty Python Bok (I think--can't find our copy) had a secondary school report for Jesus (or maybe it was God). He got mixed reviews as I recall. Low in Theology ("Keeps saying he was misquoted") and Geology, but top marks in Latin ("Quite the best student I've ever had").
20: I think you mean "His SATs."
22: Derek Bok was in Monty Python? Man, they really broke the mold when they made that university president.
1, 2: This, no? Sadly, did not prove to be the winning argument when trying to convince a nun in Sunday school there's nothing wrong with oral sex.
23.2: The Bok also known as Tits 'n Bums: A weekly look at church architecture.
