Good Friday is so called because on that day Jesus was crucified at Calvary, sounding 'Good'? Really if there was a man called Jesus and the tales are historically accurate then a poor individual was brutally murdered in an excruciating way. Still sounding 'Good'? Traditionally, you are also supposed to do a deal of fasting on Good Friday, or as they do in the cult, one small meal and two even smaller meals that when totaled fail to comprise a full meal. With all the chocolate floating around at this time of year fasting is not something I would consider 'Good'. And what's all this about giving up meat for the day, it's 8AM and I have already had three different types of meat, not on my watch Jesus, nothing 'Good' about a meat free zone. There is more. Supposedly when Jesus died the Moon bled, no I don't know about you that doesn't sound to good, they should have got some one to check that out it doesn't sound to healthy. In Ireland the sale of Alcohol is banned on this so called 'Good' day, can't even go to a restaurant, have a rose and some smoked meat. In some countries people even take part in self-flagellation and inflict all sorts of bodily harm upon themselves. In hindsight this day really isn't that 'Good' in fact it's a pretty bad day in my opinion. Just hurry up and end Good Friday, the Easter Bunny and I are waiting. Actually on second thought I will be celebrating Earth Day today, served with a few course of meat.
