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 just tied to the traditional Jewish holiday of Passover which is based on the Lunar Calendar. It ain't that deep.

Jesus had Passover, kinda a really important part of the Bible actually, so it's really weird that Christians don't.

Easter was invented by the Council of Nicaea in AD 325

There were a few hundred years there where Christians probably did celebrate Passover.

Paul had Passover!

It's weird.

Religions change and build on prior traditions, yet somehow that fact takes people by surprise every time it seems.

It's hard when your religion is the Truth and the Word, because then people think that means it can't just change. God does not play dice etc

it is funny that both reddit atheists and religious conservatives have the same view on religion.
