[challenge entry] Good Friday


Why do Christians call today 'Good Friday'? Surely from a Christian point of view it should be called 'Really Bad Friday'? Me confused!

# "I can see my house from here"
Wonder what that song would sound like!

# Dunno the tune
but the words are:

I can see my house from up here
but I just can't get in
'cos I'm nailed to a big ol' cross right now
to save Man from Original sin
yeah

I can see my house from here
but I just can't get in
I can see into Old Trafford
But I can't see who'll win

I can see my house from here
[quoir]Whose house?
My house!
[quoir Whose house?
MY HOUSE

# Actually
Jesus' full name, as he signed it, was J. R. Hartley-Christ. He wrote a book about fly fishing before he went into the Messiah business.

# Good Friday
It is called good friday dear youth as it was on this day that Jesus saved us from what is called "original sin", a sin that goes back to adam, and what we got to have true free will so redemption no matter how much jesus went through is good
confused???

# We need
photographic proof. You can't just make a claim like that and just expect us to believe you.

# How exactly
does humankind's torturing and murdering the supposed Son of God free humankind from sin? Surely it just adds a little more....?

And what about people who died before the original good Friday? Did they get a right old bollocking for their original sin?

Has anyone done a "Hot Cross Bunnies" pic yet? If not, why not!*


*apart from the fact its a crap primary school type joke

# It's very complicated
people do degrees in theology to understand this sort of stuff.

Before Jesus, well, they just had to wait before going to heaven I suppose.

# Well
I've done one in Philosophy of Religion and it still seems a bit odd to me. Oh well, woo and fluffiness to all! ;-)

# Well all the theologians I know
seem to be able to explain it.

I think I understand but I just can't think how to write it down just now.

# unless they lived proper dull lives they
burned in hell, with the rest of the billions and billions who had the crappy luck to be born in non-Judo-Christian areas.

not actually true

# why?
poor Ling Pei of China, 20 AD doesn't know a thing about Jebus. If Christianity is the one true religion, Ling Pei is rather screwed

# *scratches head*
I suspect a loving and forgiving God would be able to make a concession in such circumstances.

# not to get involved ina huge debate but...
"such circumstances" would be billions of people/souls over the years

# well
God's quite big
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Fri 9 Apr 2004, 23:30, archived)
# but i suspect any form of reasoning
as to what happened to souls prior to mr. christ snuffing it to be very convoluted and created by the evil that is theology after the fact.

# thats
a good question. one which requires and deserves a good answer. which i am not prepared to give. as i cannot be arsed. however i controdict myself, as i have wasted so much time with this pointless reply that i could by now have given an answer. however i dont care for jesussy stuff. im aetheist, dont believe in god, jesus, any religions, any miracle, anything. i dont believe in heaven or hell. dying is simply like not being born.

# Playing tennis isn't much like being born
although i expect it's not quite the same as dying either

# those are both great songs
and never should have been cut from the original. Woo!

# The Life
Of Brian went someway to restoring these traditional Easter songs to the tale, but they cut them and only left in the Bright Side of Life one.

# I just don't know why
modern Christians refuse the musical goodness of their savior.
the track "Holy hands, I've got Hol(e)y hands" certainly fills me with joy.

# If I were Jebus
and returned to earth
after 2000 years.
I'd be Really, Really, Fucked Off - if every time I wandered into one of my own (or my dad's) houses (churches) all I saw was images of myself nailed to a cross - that's not nice people !
