please don't take this as a religion vs commercialism thread. it's just a fun story. So, on Good Friday you fast. I want to go to dinner after mass. Ask a girl out for dinner and to meet me for a drink with friends first. Yeah, us Catholics can drink. She shows up wearing black with lace and black stockings. No one notices until she mentions how this is Black Friday. Poor girl. We explained that it is Good Friday. And she goes why would it be Good Friday; Jesus died today, right. That's why she was wearing black. Completely valid reasoning. What is so sweet about this is not that she didn't know it was called Good Friday, but that she also didn't know what Black Friday was. so cute. Then the discussion became, what should today be called if Good is stupid on a day of death. Maybe it should be some Hebrew word that no one knows the meaning of anymore. haha
I was always under the impression you were a girl heypartner...my bad dude... Also, how old is this girl to not know the diff between good/black friday?
Last Sunday, during the children's sermon at my church (where all of the children go to the front of the church during the service and the pastor does a sermon they can comprehend and participate in) the pastor asked them, "Why is it called good friday when Jesus died?" A little boy answered, "Because we don't have school!" So cute.
do not underestimate how kids already thought this out. I did, at age 10 or so. Good Friday meant no school.
It should be called Roman fascism day because if they weren't such facisists then they wouldn't have killed Jesus.
It is called Good Friday because every year on this day I call up my friend Abdullah the Butcher and me and him roll around town in my dune buggy and stab dudes in the heads with forks.
