In 3 Days we are going to celebrate Jesus resurrection, will most of you go to Church or stay home and keep on the Internet because you are addicted to it?

Luke 24:22-27
22 Moreover, some women of our company amazed us. They were at the tomb early in the morning
23 and did not find his body; and they came back saying that they had even seen a vision of angels, who said that he was ALIVE.
24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said; but him they did not see."
25 And he said to them, "O foolish men, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?"
27 And beginning with Moses and all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

I'll be at my sister's house. I will not be going to church and I will not be celebrating Jesus' supposed resurrection.

I'll be planting trees. I can't imagine why someone wants to lock themselves up in some musty old church (or if you are a happy clappy, dancing to some rock group or sitting on plastic chairs) when you could be outside celebrating life by planting trees for the future.

I planted 35 trees yesterday on 'Crucifixion Friday'. Today I plan to plant another twenty.

Why is it called 'Good Friday?"

Rob, I am wondering if for atheist if the "rite of spring" holds some meaning from a natural point of view. Today was a good day for me being outside and seeing creation starting to wake up.

A lot of Christians on the site give you crap. I'm a person of faith and I just want to say that if you choose to plant trees as a way for you to find fulfillment and create life, I got no bone to pick with you and I'm glad you're investing in the future as you see it.

Answer the man's question, Kirk:

"Why is it called 'Good Friday?"

Being the literary schola that I am, I didn't want to draw attention to myself with my command of the English language, but as you have put me in this uncomfortable position, I will answer.

In Old English "good" meant "holy". It is that simple. Theologically, we all know that it was really a bad Friday.
