“Is this a Mistake?”

Today is called “Good Friday” by many religions. Just to name a few…Baptists, (and all its branches), Catholics (and all its branches), and many others that would exhaust me to write down. It is a day (primarily in Catholicism) that is a remembrance of Jesus (known by many names and titles) being betrayed and handed over to some dudes that really didn’t like him and being taken to several groups of “holy men” that decided that they would take him to someone else. You can read all about this in most any book that has “Holy Bible” on its front cover…or, if you want to give your wrist a break…you can just purchase the New Testament; because most of this story is in that work. You can probably get one for free…but it may be hard to read. Anyhow…you figure that part out. 

Good Friday is supposedly the day that all the pre-curses happen that would eventually lead to the trial and execution of this man who claimed to be the Son of God. There are books, movies, focus groups, and hundreds of other venues that tell us hundreds of people’s sides to this whole thing…but there is no true answer, because there is no one alive who can testify to any document, person, or other fact that backs this whole thing up. There are literally hundreds of thousands of scholars, ministers, laymen, preachers…and yes, the Pope of the Roman Catholic church. This man is supposedly the “Emissary of the Christ” and therefore infallible. Well, crap on the bathroom floor! Why can’t he just take care of all this stuff and set everyone’s mind and heart straight, and we can all go home happy.

The truth of all of this nonsense is that it is all 100% grade AA bullshit. No one is going to fight your devil battles for you, because there is no devil. Yep…he’s made up too. I remember going to a friend’s house for lunch (across the street from our house in El Paso) and his mother telling my friend that he better eat his corn or the devil might do something bad to him. (Take a step up on the angel scale…yeah, Devil was an angel before he pissed the old man off).

So, as you travel down the road of life, just take religion (and all of its bullshit) and toss it into a hole, a fire, a garbage disposal, or whatever means suit you. You’ll be a much happier person when you do what I did a few years ago. Forget religion…it’s all bullshit, and it’s bad for ya.
