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.

    What were all the previously-dead doing up until then, waiting in purgatory for Jesus to hurry up and be born & die already?

      Catholic doctrine says that in the day between his death and resurrection he went to hell and saved all the souls that didn't have a chance to listen to the Gospel.

      It's fucked that they were in hell in the first place, but what can you do

          Yeah yea.

          Another thing: isn't a second in hell supposed to feel like an eternity? So even if you died 5 minutes before Jesus did, it felt like forever while he came down to pull you out of there. Double fucked

            I mean, regardless, won't ppl like yk, kinda phase out in hell... I mean, there's a point in which that torture and torment just kinda bores you in your mind, and just acts simultaneously as a secondary torture and peace...

            Either way, I guess for them, those decades where nothing happens turned into weeks where decades happen...

            Note: Idk about you, but I thought the non-Christian dead would be stuck in purgatory or at least in limbo, which isn't really hell but rather a special administrative area of hell....

      Edit: oh wait nvm, Jesus picked them up on his long weekend vacation to hell.

      “It is precisely these holy souls, who awaited their Savior in Abraham’s bosom, whom Christ the Lord delivered when he descended into hell.”

      They're still in "purgatory". Though it's actually just straight up hell.

      From catholic.com:

      By his death and Resurrection, Jesus opened heaven (CCC 1026). Prior to that time all who died went to “hell”; however, the just went to a place in hell referred to as “the Bosom of Abraham,” where they would be comforted. The parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31) seems to indicate that there were two parts of hell. Both Lazarus and the rich man died and went to hell, but Lazarus was comforted in the bosom of Abraham while the rich man was in a place of torment. A great chasm separated the two parts.

      I think they literally don't have any chance of going to heaven. Just because they were born too early and their great*100 grandparents ate an apple.

      the rich man was in a place of torment

      :sicko-yes:
