[Poland, dressed in his 15th century Sunday best, is in a smallish room bedecked with candles and crosses. Today, it's also decorated with white cloth hangings and flowers everywhere. ~~After all that Lenten fasting, it appears he was able to will his room to have a chapel attached!~~]

So, um. I know not everyone here is Christian, but... Today's a really important day for those of us who are, and I kinda wanted to share that with people. So like, I wanted to start the day with a reading from Matthew for everyone! And Liet and I have been making tons of sweets and pisanki for today, if anyone wants to come hang out and help us eat them...

But first things first~ [He crosses himself, then picks up a huge, leather-bound Bible with vellum pages, flipping it open to a page he'd marked and beginning to read aloud. His Latin accent is actually pretty good, because he's had a LOT of practice since his baptism over 400 years ago.]

A lesson from the Gospel of Matthew:

Vespere autem sabbati quae lucescit in primam sabbati venit Maria Magdalene et altera Maria videre sepulchrum
et ecce terraemotus factus est magnus angelus enim Domini descendit de caelo et accedens revolvit lapidem et sedebat super eum
erat autem aspectus eius sicut fulgur et vestimentum eius sicut nix
prae timore autem eius exterriti sunt custodes et facti sunt velut mortui
respondens autem angelus dixit mulieribus nolite timere vos scio enim quod Iesum qui crucifixus est quaeritis.

Non est hic surrexit enim sicut dixit venite videte locum ubi positus erat Dominus
et cito euntes dicite discipulis eius quia surrexit et ecce praecedit vos in Galilaeam ibi eum videbitis ecce praedixi vobis
et exierunt cito de monumento cum timore et magno gaudio currentes nuntiare discipulis eius
et ecce Iesus occurrit illis dicens havete illae autem accesserunt et tenuerunt pedes eius et adoraverunt eum
tunc ait illis Iesus nolite timere ite nuntiate fratribus meis ut eant in Galilaeam ibi me videbunt.

[He closes the Bible, and holds it up in front of him with a reverent little bow.]

The Gospel of the Lord. Thanks be to God!

[Setting the Bible aside, he gives the camera a happy smile.]

Alleluia, Christ is risen! Happy Easter, everyone ♥

[OOC: I'm... not Catholic, so there are more or less guaranteed to be little errors here. But I tried! And happy Easter to everyone from the mun, too, while I'm OOC note-ing~]

That doesn't make any sense. Just because people don't agree on something, you like, say they're all wrong?

It makes as much sense as you being right and them being wrong, or the other way around.

Besides, there's no way to REALLY know who's right until you die.

No, it doesn't. It like, makes as much sense as saying "my two friends are telling me two different stories to explain something, so I'm gonna assume they're both liars"!

Well what makes you think your story's the real one? What proof do you have?

Faith isn't about proof. My proof is in my heart.

Why is your faith worth more than mine?

Because I'm right.

...So you're saying that you're better than me, because what you believe is right.

I like, never said I'm better, I just said I'm right and you're wrong!

But you said your faith is better than mine because yours is right, and if your faith comes from your heart, then that means you're saying your heart is better than mine.

You're totally twisting my words! Uncool, Ryohei!

No I'm not! I'm extremely just telling you what I'm hearing!

I like, never said anyone was better! Gawd!

You don't have to SAY it when you keep insisting you're right even though you don't have anymore proof than anyone else who thinks that THEY'RE right.

Because when you've felt God's love and understood that power, you totally know nothing else can ever compare to it!

Except my own power. All the things I've achieved have been because I work hard and because my friends support me.

He created the universe! You totally can't go comparing your own power to something like that!

I thought some kind of big bang thing created the universe.

Huh?

You'd have to ask someone like Gokudera about it. He knows lots of useless stuff.

[Just this look. He feels sort of insulted that Ryohei's ragging on his beliefs when he doesn't even appear to know that much about either Christianity or whatever else it is he's talking about.]

[That's about how Ryohei feels about people telling him what is true based on "It just is." :|a]

I guess you don't know about that kind of science stuff since you're from a long time ago.

Just 'cause I'm from your past totally doesn't mean I'm dumb.

[....He's a little touchy now ;;;;]

Now you're the one twisting what I said to the extreme. I didn't say dumb. I just said you don't know about that stuff. I don't know about it, and it's from my time!

[And he is totally, unabashedly unashamed of this fact.]

Then why are you picking on me for not knowing?

Screw this, ohmigod...

[DAMMIT, POLAND, STOP RAGEQUITTING ON PEOPLE ;;]
