Who here celebrates the murder of Jesus?

[SteveGrabowski]

Hearing Jesus loves you is a comforting thought unless you're in a Mexican prison.

I always thought it was a state execution. Didn't he break the laws at the time? I'm no expert here, so correct me if I'm wrong, but in the time of Jesus the State could put anyone to death for various reasons...or no reason at all. In that case I don't think it would be murder would it?

Pilate says something like, "I find no fault in this man for which he should be killed." But he goes through with it since he fears the Jews will riot.

Even more screwy is Passover. "Hey, let's commemorate that time when the god we worship murdered all those innocent children!"

Remember that time when a guy got word that all the kids were going to be killed so he warned the parents of his illegitimate son but let all the rest die? That guy, God. He can be such a jerk at times.

The best thing religion has ever done for me is get me days off I don't really deserve.

Thanks for taking one for the team Jesus!

You're a week early, Good Friday represents when he was crucified. My church has a bacon and eggs brunch and a service.

rather a dick thing for your church to do, considering Jesus was Jewish.

 

[KeithTalent]

National Geographic does. Kept seeing ads for "Killing Jesus" yesterday.

I am actually going to church on Sunday. I don't think I've ever really been to a service before; will be weird. :hmm:

My church has a bacon and eggs brunch and a service but I'll be getting off night shift the day before so I'll miss it, but will be going to the Easter Sunday service then my mom is making turkey and stuff. Probably end up eating lot of chocolate too. Especially when it goes on sale. :biggrin:

Jesus died for our sins, it's a great thing to celebrate.

Friday is a day of fasting, heathen.

 

[Printer Bandit]

amazing how everything is centered around one guy, and even then he doesn't get a chance to tell you everything about Him.

 

[Homerboy]

Uhhhh the "murder" part is Good Friday.

 

[02ranger]

I've never understood why they call it good Friday. Seems like a fairly bad day. And shouldn't it be three days before Easter, not two?

Apparently math isn't their strong suit.......

 

[IronWing]

The "murder" was simply putting the Pop-Tart in the toaster.

 

[Perknose]

Lololololol, thanks for that. :thumbsup: :biggrin:

I'm stealing it and sending it to friends. It says more in one focused cartoon panel than I ever could.

Meat on a Friday used to be a cardinal sin. And, I thought it was turkey for Thanksgiving; ham for Easter. What's the point of following traditions if you can't follow the traditions?

Eggs are appropriate for Easter morning. Good Friday should be observed with bagels. Bagels remind us of Jesus' Jewishness. The hole in the center reminds us of the wounds Jesus suffered for our sins (shout out to the Catholics here), and the toroidal shape of the bagel reminds us of the logic required for one to adopt the faith.

Which COMPLETELY doesn't fit the historical accounts that Pilate was basically an asshole. That part of the Bible is written to put Pilate/Rome in a good light, which makes sense when you figure out it was written by educated Romans years after the apostles died. In fact throughout the new testament Rome is painted in a good light ("Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.") because just like any other book the Bible was written with an audience in mind.

But did he? Obi Wan's remaining role was reduced to yelling, "Run Forrest, run!"

 

[PingviN]

I don't, but I do celebrate the day off from work.

He convinced Yoda to train Luke, and continued to give Luke pointers all the way up to getting rid of the emperor. His role was basically nothing more than a manager, but man did he manage the shit out of those people. :thumbsup:

Thank you, that literally made me laugh out loud.

Jesus lives within all of us

Still owes me rent money.

Christians love bacon too. :biggrin: And most of the "no meat" or fasting stuff is made up by humans anyway. Lot of religions follow the Bible then start to add/remove stuff as they see fit. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Our sacrifice attempt is irrelevant, because Jesus paid it all.

As for turkey we don't really have any fixed traditions in our family as far as various occasion gatherings but we tend to always have turkey at least. Ham seem to be mostly at Christmas but sometimes other times of the year too. Now I'm hungry for ham.
