Good Friday is the day that Christ died. 

Normally we would say that he rose from the dead 3 days later.  What are people thinking when they say that he rose from the dead?  WE know that he was stabbed with a spear to insure he died.  We know he was given water to some degree and that he cried out in incredulity...

"MY GOD, why have you forsaken me? !!!"

This is why I say that God was not there.  God is also not there when your church is infested with scamps and whatnot.  Even one scamp that is present should be rooted out or exposed and if it isn't then that makes your church nothing but a feeding ground. 

FOOD!!!

Food for people that like to hurt others.  Once you realize this and do nothing about it it's like you are complicit in helping to destroy what it was you were trying to build.  This is what made Christ angry is that the church was being used to sell things.  Once the focus turns INSTEAD of from equality to money, the rules for survival are completely changed.  Instead of a family treating each other as equals it becomes a survival of the fittest, or a contest.  And this would be offensive to someone like Jesus.  The hardest thing in life is to teach.  People have to want to learn, they have to want to even listen and they have to like you.  All three. 

Now it's not my job to save your church or even the WORLD, but what I will do is REPORT it.  My duty is to the truth NOT to people and if it is known that people are terrible then SOMEONE will do something... even if it is MUCH later.  But your first duty is to report it somewhere because otherwise, you could disappear and these people that like to feed could feed you right out of existence and your story will not get told.  This would PERPETUATE the feeding and the frenzy and the fuel for such behavior. 

About the worst thing there is in life is to be excommunicated.  Everyone(meaning God) has all agreed not to trust you.  It is a terrible feeling let me tell you, but I am not this because not EVERYONE is doing it.  But about the worst thing there is to see is people ATTEMPTING to do this... this... hatred THING.  And once you feel that the doctors and the police and the preachers will all act in concert to stave off your cries for help... it's a short route to the exit for you... except that we all learned in Cloud Atlas how this turns out right?  The famous "old" people all talk to each other and tell each other "sinful" things that mean absolutely NOTHING in the grand scheme of things but that can nevertheless chomp off some one's willingness to employ you, which leaves you without food or work.  So running is not an option and UN-excommunicating yourself is not an option so what's left? 

What's left is to wait for the end.  But good news yes?

Christ rose from the dead and since it's happened once, that means the church COULD start trusting you again and take YOUR side of the matter in things and all those terrible people trying to excommunicate you out of the city COULD be removed from power simply because what they are doing is EVIL INCARNATE. 

And you know what happens if you can be trusted again... it means you are no longer dead.  It means you ROSE from the dead.  It means you've been ... resurrected! 

PS. I am playing FFXI again, I wonder if I should bring back from the dead the pictures I used to put up.
