I see that Good Friday comes on April 1 this year.  Does anybody care to
comment on the theological significance of this?

In a slightly more serious vein, I wonder why born-again types in most
religions get so touchy when challenged.  I've always been a Unitarian
(well, I was baptized a Congregationalist but it was a semantic error;
it was supposed to be Universalist) and you can imagine the amount of
grief people have given me over the years, e.g. a Unitarian dies, and
finds a fork in the road with a sign, one way pointing to Heaven and the
other to a discussion about heaven...

I don't much mind, though; I realize most people don't agree with me and
reserve the right to take their religion no more seriously than they take
mine.

Interesting responses to the net, examples of touchiness to /dev/null,
please.
