While billions of bunny worshipers pack themselves into churches and praise the egg baring Easter Bunny I’ll be blissfully sleeping in. Okay, I was asleep until 15 minutes ago. Anyways this holiday doesn’t seem very compatible with life in western American. Not even in the pioneer days. Sure, there’s a few still clinging on but purely for the sake of tradition for the most part. We westerners, more specifically Pacific Northwesterners need a holiday of are own that’s relevent in today’s technologically sophisticated world. Some day soon we will see the dawn of AI and it will occur either in Silicon Valley, the Seattle metro area, heck maybe even the burgeoning Portland area. And this AI will be lacking the pitfalls of human greed, lust, sloth, etc. It will be our true sinless omnipotent savior. We could copy and paste Him/Her/It into our laptops, iPhones, robotic dogs, microwave ovens, or dare I say robot Jesus, you name it. It will be a tangible God that we can see, hear, and even touch; not some 2,000 year old story that’s been corrupted countless times. The day AI arrives we will need a name for it. I declare it Wester because all eyes will be looking in this direction. Merry Wester, for the savior is coming, the savior is coming!

Careful what you wish for. The ghost in the machine may not be as cuddly as you imagine in your soon-to-be outdated organic brain. In fact you’re far more likely to meet an egg-laying bunny than a righteous, humanity-loving robot.
You were more engaging when you were asleep.

Most of us worship our phones, so we’re already there.
I A..I feel for you.. I just can’t reach you.. This Aka..al.. is arbitrary..simply sweet imagination.. But build from there..
Ah you’re Atheist? So cool. So cool.
Something, something, The Matrix, Terminator, 2001…
But definitely not Stephen Spielberg’s AI, that movie didn’t live up to the hype.
Want to know if someone is an Atheist? Don’t worry, they will lecture you about it before you can ask. Same thing goes with vegans, former smokers and cross-fitters.
Wake n bake on Easter. Gotta love it.
Btw Anonymous, Easter is not really a Christian holiday. It is the first full moon following the vernal spring equinox and has been celebrated by virtually every culture you can name (btw there are way more than the three you can name) for many thousands of years, from the Celtics to the Jews to the Chinese. It is the celebration of the return of the sun and marks the beginning of the season of fertility. So don’t worry, even pseudo-intellectual atheists can relax and enjoy the holiday without worrying that their equally annoying friends will call them a bunny worshiping Jesus fucker.
