Ha!! A lot of conservative American christianists greet each other with "Happy Easter!" But according to their bible, there was nothing happy about the events of the weekend. I'm sticking with the Flying Spaghetti Monster for now.

Nothing happy about the events of the weekend? Are you serious?
Christianity is meaningless without the events of that weekend. It's not about the death of Christ. It's about His resurrection and the gift of the atonement for our sins.
If you don't believe it, that's fine by me.
But if you do believe it, then there's nothing happier in the world than knowing your sins can be forgiven and you will be resurrected, all because of the events that took place that weekend.
