Indexed

I’m a big fan of Indexed: witty and insightful. I am also a follower of Jesus who is not overly religious or a prude. So there are my biases. And in my opinion (we all have them), this entry is just tacky, disrespectful, and plainly inaccurate, namely there are omnivorous, beer-drinking, noisy Christians and churches.

I love it! You know the old saying, “The Pope’s cousin was a fisherman.” I’m having a nice rib-eye for dinner.

and all Gods children say “AMEN!” good one today!

@Scott, if the label on the second intersection was “better Friday” I would agree with you. As it is, there is not a value judgement about which one is better. It is just saying there are two different experiences. Now, had the second graph included card games and hookers…..

@Scott, give me a break. Anything that pokes fun at religion is “tacky” or otherwise out of bounds? Get over yourself.

As a non-drinking vegetarian, I approve of this comic. Just because I don’t do either doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy myself!

“Jesus[,] who is not overly religious or a prude…” If you think Jesus wasn’t overly religious, I’m pretty sure you’re not talking about THE Jesus.

Lighten up matey. You know who gets made fun of more than Christians? Nondrinking vegetarians.

@Scott - here’s another thing for you to do. Go into a biker bar, put a piece of wood on your shoulder, dare someone to knock it off.

@kontributor, ha! You had me going there for a second. But April Fools day was yesterday.

The day Christ died is a Good Day because of the Passover.

The Awesome Friday isn’t necessarily today. But, a Friday like that would be awesome.

i think that jesus was smiling on this one until he read the comments. my dear Christian brothers and sisters, you gotta learn to observe properly and to laugh at yourself sometimes. stop defending your oh so holy and religious culture if there is nothing to defend. honestly, this post is not at all a negative comment on Good Friday or Jesus.

I love it! Most of the comments above are quite good. Yes, I got over myself a long time ago. And sincerely I take no offense at any of the comments above. Generally, what we say discloses more about ourselves than others.

Please pardon my error. That English degree isn’t paying off too well. I intended for “not overly religious or prude” to more clearly modify or describe myself, not Jesus, though I suppose both might be true (except a lot here think I’m a prude; noted).

Corinne - accurate probably, but still a little tacky (to me).

Amajal - no, not “anything.” Well-intentioned Christians deserve what they get a lot of the time. So you agree that this pokes fun at religion? If so, that’s my point. In my opinion, Good Friday should be beyond the pale. There is a lot of irony and paradox in Christianity that can (and at times should be) questioned or mocked. But Good Friday, which brings to mind human torture, is not terribly funny to me.

Lydia - ibid.

JM - irony noted. Above comment to Amajal hopefully helpful though. I think the mismatch of humor and human torture are what bothered me more than any religiosity.

Alex - hilarious!

Buffal0Gal - agreed. However, everything we cherish most has been institutionalized. Can you imagine hospitals without medical schools? Art without museums? An educated public without schools? Christianity without small groups (which would require some measure of organization)? (BTW Kontributor, I’m okay with evolution, which in no way challenges the truth value of properly interpreted scripture - it’s NOT all literal).

Fireflight - perfect!

All - note: “tacky & disrespectful” was genuine (my true opinion). The rest of my comment was intended to be funny. Really, I am “over myself.” I was raised as a Southern Baptist, became an atheist, and have long since moved to a more progressive and healthy strain of Christianity, namely: follow Jesus = love God + love people. That’s about the extent of it for me.

Grace & peace, Scott

Haha amazing!
