Good News Bad News

Today is Good Friday. It has been a good day so far and it's gonna get better before I'm done with it. That's the good news. Bad news is that tomorrow I will be in a temporary vegitative state. Good news is that I will rise again on the third day, in this case, Easter Sunday.

Good Friday is very significant for Christians because it commemorates the 'propitiatory sacrifice' (Mel Gibson) made by Jesus on behalf of us sinners. Apparently 'The Father' needed to be mellowed out a bit after witnessing several thousands of years of human sin. Apparently all that sin had had such a detrimental effect on the psyche of The Father that he was planning to burn those sinners in a flaming hell forever. Apparently The Son (Jesus) volunteered to go down to Earth and die a horrible little death as a kind of appeasement to the sensitivities of The Father (boom). Apparently Jesus' 'sacrifice' saved our collective butt from the eternity in hell which The Father had planned for us.

So we commemorate Jesus' propitiatory sacrifice on our behalf once a year at this time and we call it, 'Good Friday.'
