I really don’t get “Good Friday” (hexbear.net)

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.

They believe Jesus was a sacrifice that freed us all from the Original Sin and opened the Kingdom of Heaven to everyone.

It's deranged. God could have just snapped his fingers and said "okay y'all are saved now" but instead he had to torture his own son to death for no reason. I guess it's to be expected, God also created evil because he wanted to know his children really love him. Manipulative freak.

Ok, then how would they appreciate their salvation more now, without giving them a hard-hitting message, sweaty! maybe-later-honey

Seriously, though, saying this is the equivalent of saying "Trotsky invented racism to stop all political debate". This is just pure bad-faith slander on your part. Is this what the deranged evangelicals think of, as 'atheist' beliefs?

I don't think I've seen God intentionally create evil DIRECTLY in the Biblia...

jesse-wtf

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things

and there's ordering the genocide of the amalakites, instructions for how to scam your slaves into not being a temporary deal, the child sacrifice "test"... textual crimes of god in the "good book" would take several hours to go over if you want all of them.

Ok, on second thoughts... I'd change my mind on that...
