Happy Easter!
Christianity almost is a woman's religion in Japan. Almost every Protestant church there has more female number than male ones so that it is awfully difficult for a Christian woman to find a husband of the same faith.
Actually Christianity is a religion of woman lib there. (It also expains why Japan's first female prime minister was a Protestant.) And one of the reason is (naturally) the Easter story that Jesus first appeared to women after the Resurrection. Indeed Jesus respected women...
I love this story because it can also free men from the unbearable heaviness of being, along with women from the unbearable lightness.
And the popularity of Christianity among Japanese women comes from mysogyny of the Japanese Buddhism and Shintoism. Well, any religion (or ideology) as a tool of governance tends to be hostile to women and the non-mainstream people...

Apparently the holy grail is female impersonification as well....
Let's celebrate femininity instead of easter!!!
Don't want to sound blasphemeic, but I rather celebrate something factual then fictual
:)
Haha, a grail should be feminine... So is the cave.
I believe that traditional religions should be de-structured once so that they can be accepted by the modern (post-modern?) minds. Clinging onto something that has lost significance is not productive at all.
