JEWISHNESS IS NOT MY ETHNICITY
Well, it's Good Friday and at 3PM this afternoon the sky will get dark and spooky, as the Dominican nuns of St Elephant's impounded catechism, superstition and fear into our impressionable young minds told us. As a second grader, I lived in dread that I was going to turn the corner one day and see the Virgin Mary and hear her give me a message for the world, akin to being one of the Fatima kids. It has taken me 60 years to deprogram myself from the Catholic Jewish-loving teachings of my youth. I can't say what my parents were thinking. We aren't Jewish. "Will it get dark in Acapulco. Fr Sharp?" will get a slap to the back of the head. No commonsense questions allowed, young man.
It seems to be a 'good Friday' to people that wanted Jesus dead. Those that love all forms of life wouldn't think of it as 'good', it seems rather 'bad' nailed to a cross. The only 'good' thing to come out of it was a joke, and I'll just say the punchline:
"Hey, John, I can see your house from up here!"
If a mind can be brainwashed into believing that an actual person of Jesus walked the Earth and did the miracles attributed to him in the four conflicting gospel reports, that person can easily be made to believe man went to the moon, LHO killed JFK, and Trump is here for peaceful purposes and truly cares for the American people. There is no discernment or critical thinking in his/her/hisher 's walnut sized think machine inside that skull. An empty vessel waiting to be told what to think or suffer the fate of eternal Hell is the majority, and I am not hopeful for this nation.
Honestly, WTF do I give a flying rat's ass about a Jewish Messiah? He died for Jewish sins (which there might be a few), not mine. I have sinned and I'm responsible for them. Leave my sins alone, Jesus. Don't touch them. They are my best stories. Take them away and I won't make people laugh. I won't do it again. I have learned and that is what makes it funny. 'Died for my sins' - what an intrusive concept. How 'bout None of Your Business, god-man.
Read the New Testament anyway you want. There's good living advice in the scribbling. I'm looking for a story line with a deformed dwarf, demented would help, as in Game of Thrones. So, it seems to me Judas would play that part. Matthew is a tax collector??? Who hangs around with a tax collector? and collecting for whom? Peter is a weasel, as all threatened with their life are sure to act. Was Paul gay?
One of the last things El Christo did before his march to doom was blow off his mother and dis the family concept. You can see anything you want in this story and that is the point and why it exists. Divide and conquer, same old same old. But saving my eternal soul? Getthefuckouttahere.
