Easter, A Photographic Wonder

I'm a fan of the crazy pictures of kids with Santa^[1].  But Easter pictures tend to be way better.  To illustrate that point, Ebaumsworld^[2][3] & Happy Place^[4] have shared a few.  There's some overlap between them, but they're both worth checking out.  Here's a few of my favorites.

And here's a few other fun Easter related bits for the day.

Happy Easter / What Is Jesus?

Today's the day atheists will be calling Jesus a zombie^[1].  But I'm going with PZ Myers^[2] on this one.  Jesus not a zombie.  He's a lich.

Although, I do really like the Cyanide & Happiness take on it^[3].

What do you think?  Zombie, lich, or marionette?
