Joyous Immediacy of the Human Experience

"Both [Dionysus and Jesus] upheld what has been called a hedonic vision of community, based on egalitarianism and the joyous immediacy of human experience – as against the agonic reality of the cruelly unequal and warlike societies they briefly favored with their presence."  ~Barbara Ehrenreich,in Dancing in the Streets: A History of Collective Joy ©2006

If Jesus does come back, it will be to save us from His followers.

That's kind of ironic.
