Jesus: is crucified
Catholics: “Look at how good this Friday is”
Getting brutally tortured and crucified sounds like a pretty terrible Friday to me. An actual Good Friday would be like, Jesus getting high with his buddies and playing Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on the PS1 while eating pizza.
Can someone please explain this.
EDIT: How about “Good Friday” but it’s Jesus getting high with Ice Cube and Chris Tucker.
It's all co-opting of existing pagan holidays so people can keep their parties around the winter solstice and spring equinox. "Yeah, you can keep your party, just say it's for our god now" works pretty well as a conversion tool.
