Good Friday?
I never understood why this day was called Good Friday. Jesus was tortured and crucified on this day. What's so good about that?
Hate to burst everyone's bubble but tom hanks says that Jesus escaped out the back door and went and made babies with Mary Magdelene (would be a good name for indie rock band) So what are the billions of christians gonna do when they find out that Jesus did not in fact die for their sins and some poor Yid name Herschel who looked like Jesus did?
Posted by: Larry at April 14, 2006 1:44 PM"Good" comes from the working out of God's plan to save mankind. No, it wasn't "good" for anyone to be tortured and falsely executed, especially Jesus, but God has this way of taking things meant for evil and turning them around to good.
Think of it as the ultimate "sticking it to the man" where the man is Satan. Satan did his worst, and it wound up ensuring God's victory.

Posted by: Scott at April 14, 2006 3:39 PMA really good Friday would start off with calling in sick. Then a blowjob from a tranny prostitute. Then maybe some ice cream and a short nap after "The Price is Right". But I guess that's every day when you do "web design" from your home office.

Posted by: dave at April 17, 2006 12:58 AMI love people who take religion seriously. I mean what better way to convince people that your god is the best than by travelling to their land and killing them. (see crusades and suicide bombers) In fact i've taken it upon myself to start my own religion and it's very serious. The holy trinity is made up of the Pink Panther, Jabber-jaws and Speedy Gonzalez. We worship at the altar of breakfast cereal where the high pimp mackin mofo aka priest asks if you reject anime and all it's evils. He then hands you one of the mystical marshmellow shapes from lucky charms and you let it dissolve on your tongue. Then you trip balls and right funny stories and we call it gospels. I love the hocus-pocus. Somebody ought to make it this make your own religion a die playing game like D&D.
