I'll admit that's one of the more skinny depictions of Jesus I've seen. Usually, he's pretty buff.

Posted by: Sponge.....Probably neither.
Through the palms would not have supported an adult for very long.. through the wrists, they probably would have bled out quickly.
Crucifixion was both a form of tortuous death, and meant to be an example to keep the populace in check. They wanted the victims to up there for a long long time.

A journal article in JAMA in the 1980's explained how horrible the treatment of Jesus was in light of our understanding of physiology. Each step of the process made it worse including the sweating of blood, scourging, crucifixion, and then the spear.
Sobering reading about man's inhumanity to man.
Posted by: whig at April 02, 2021 08:39 AM (pO7gM)
It's named from our perspective. To the World, this Jesus guy was put to death and 'his' story ended. But the faithful know that was the day our sins were paid for and us forgiven. Easter is more clearly celebratory as it backs up His promise of resurrection, but our freedom was bought on Good Friday.
Posted by: Methos at April 02, 2021 08:39 AM (kOpft)
Quite it is why the Asians tended to crucify folks on X shapes instead and lash people's arms over their head.

The perfect example of an unintended result by the Romans. Comparatively few don't know the story of Jesus and the faithful take strength from His passion.
Was it Conan that said "If you strike me down, . . . . "?

It is one of the most common religious paintings, yet surprisingly difficult to do well. Too many are either of the man or of God. Only a few of the masters can capture both.

That's for sure. Part of it was our mother's making us fast before Mass. The heat, the closeness of the crowd, no food. . . what did they expect?

There was the food, the flowers, the gatherings of the "olds" and the church summer camp planning of all the young'ns. It seemed at the time to be the way it always had been, but in reality it only lasted 5 or so years. Slowly the times changed.
I remember the faces, and the some of the names, but it was certainly a much simpler time for all of us.
Thank you CBD, this made me remember to remember.

It's been discussed quite a bit. From what I've read, it's more likely the soldiers hammered the nails through the wrists. The palm bones would not have been strong enough to support the weight of the upper body. Though the feet fastened to the upright would have served to support the weight too; so, who knows.
Driving the nails through the wrists would likely have speeded up the process of death -- exsanguination from the wrist arteries. A guess.

I remember reading once that fairies and leprechauns were called "the Good Folk", but that was partly out of fear, because they had supernatural powers and could be dangerous if offended. I've always felt that Good Friday had a bit of that fear incorporated in the name - this is not a really positive event we're talking about, it's got a dark and ugly side to it, but we don't want to come right out and face that.

This was as dark as the world ever got, and the painting captures it well. The Christ of God was being brutally slaughtered by a pagan, occupying power. Van Rijn appears to capture His agony at His lowest point, crying out to the Father "why have You abandoned me?!" But He knew. "It is done," and Creation wept, holding its breath.
And so we go on, persevering as best we can though we crucify Him daily with our own sin. To all the faithful, I wish you all a blessed Good Friday! To those who do not follow, we love you. Now look at the painting one more time: that's how much He loves you.

Fen, you're not gonna believe this: I grew up in a heavily Catholic city only 2 blocks from a major cathedral, married a girl who was raised Catholic, and had many Catholic friends. Yet I never heard of the Stations of the Cross until I was well into my adult years. Maybe I'd heard the term used and didn't remember it. Heck, I didn't know what "catechism" consisted of until I got a look at Mrs. Wolfus No. 2's old catechism manual. Wow, what a lot to learn.

Quite, as alluded to upthread you eventually drown because the physical agitation put on your core eventually starts fluid build up since you are at an ever increasing oxygen deficit.
T shaped crucifixion was actually (perversely) thought of as a humane nod to an offender who had not earned ire and may have been a sarcastic mockery of in Roman eyes Christ's "exalted status."

Catholics who grew up in the '60's and '70's were poorly catechized It was the era of Sister Pantsuit and Fr. Groovy. When non-Catholic friends ask me about the terrible ruler-wielding nuns, I say "are you kidding me? The nuns played 'Jesus Christ Superstar' in religion class." I thought that was cool at the time, but now I realize what a shame - a church with a rich tradition, thinking the way to keep young people interested was not teaching them that tradition, but hanging up awful felt banners in churches. I too have a lot to learn - the Church itself didn't teach me.

I'm one dude and I am unimportant and I know it and therefore I also know that what I think doesn't factor in to anyone's policy.
But for me, this is the most corrosive thing that the state can do. There is nothing that makes me *less* motivated to achieve, to rise, to earn, to consume, to expand. There are few things out there that make me think, "that's it, then. There's no point. I don't care anymore. I can earn more or less, live better or worse, whatever. It's all the same because nothing I do matters anyway" but this is one of them.
I worked my balls off and lived like a pauper for *years* to get that millstone off of my neck. I deferred gratification, deferred consumption, did without and did so for a long time. I did it and it doesn't matter. If I had just been profligate, made bad decisions, accumulated more debt, worked less hard and lived more lavishly, what would be different? I'd be better off, not worse, for having made worse decisions. Fuck that and them.

Yeah that should somehow be laid on the schools who have large funds for support and who primarily gained from the school loans.
At a time when the cost of living was going up, the schools tuition were double and triple the rate. This is from paying professors exorbitant salaries and then having the classes actually taught by adjunct professors and grad students.
Somehow the schools should have to cover the forgiveness of those loans.

Like most things, including federal supported mortgage loans, easier credit boosts prices. FNMA and Freddie Mac and the FHA are just another side of the coin to the student loan issue.
Federally guaranteed loans means more people will buy the home or go to college. It also supports people that work in the home building and higher education. But, at the cost of raising prices due to demand. So both homes and college become more expensive. Coupled with that fact, Griggs v. Duke Power decision more or less required extrinsic credentials rather than direct experience and relevant job tests for many jobs. This has increased the demand for higher ed which also increased demand and prices.

I know that's the way it was when I was of age and thinking about going with a loan.
Posted by: jakee308 at April 02, 2021 09:27 AM (ZLL8y)

Went to college in the early aughts, and I had both kinds of loans. From one lender, they cut a check directly to the bursar. Another (three others, actually), they cut a check to me to pay the bursar or buy whatever else I wanted - money is money. I was surprised by the latter, but a majority of my lenders when in school did it that way. It struck me as a great way to launder money and it probably is. I think the lenders don't care because you can't discharge it in bankruptcy.

Forgiven loans are not taxable due to the Covid relief bill just passed until 2025 or so. Not sure it that only applies to student loans or all forgiving loans. Believe it is general relief.

I agree on the home mortgage issue. Subsidizing loans makes homes more expensive. You save $100 a month in payment but the house costs $100 a month more over the course of 30 years. It is a wash for buyers but the home industry benefits. But even without Fannie or Freddie there would still be a demand for mortgages at reasonable rates and home prices. If prices appreciation was 10% a year for the past 50 years nobody would buy houses and prices would fall.
As far as college goes, prices never fall because the govt is always there to subsidize. And that is why it costs $30k a year to attend a mid level state U.
Or in another words everything the gift touches goes to shit.

I was speaking with a classmate who was worried that she had racked up like $15k in credit card debt. Many others were in a similar boat. I asked them how that happened. I had one credit card and it had like a $750 limit. They asked me how I filled out the paperwork, and then we found the distinction. I was honest that I was a student earning next to nothing. They put down that they had high incomes, and got high credit limits (and a big capacity for serious trouble). They just lied about it.

Those sins (past present and future) had to be "paid" for somehow.
And believing in Jesus is what makes you part of that forgiveness. Without the sacrifice there would be no forgiveness. For whatever reason "sins" must be paid for in some way. Either while alive or upon death. And that payment is eternal. That "horrible" event was what made that forgiveness possible. Jesus made that sacrifice for us to His Father. (the only person who could do so)
I may have some of that incorrect anyone with better knowledge and words feel free to correct.

With all due respect, you're kind of missing the central point of Christianity.
There were early believers who balked at the idea that Jesus had actually died on the cross, because it was just too horrible and shameful. They too, missed the point.

Also true on medical expenses, Medicare and Medicaid have inflated the general costs of health care.
Like the law of supply and demand, subsidizing consumers on something means you get more of it and it is more expensive because more people are chasing after the same good.
Due in part to Keynes, the general government mood has been inflation is much better than deflation. This is in direct contradiction to Sec. of Treasury Mellon's argument during the 1920-21 recession that deflation chases the rottenness out of the system and better a short sharp shock that resets values and purges bad debts than inflating it away. That more or less bakes in deflation as a way of doing that.
But, since the 1930's, governments have more or less agreed with Keynes and have inflated away.

Most of the deluxe student accommodations come as colleges actively compete on offering lifestyles to attract the 18-22 year old students. Most of these additions were paid for by issuing bonds and thus money is needed to service debts. An professor has put together financial measures for colleges as to which will survive and which will not based on debt, projected enrollments, and competition with other schools.

And believing in Jesus is what makes you part of that forgiveness. Without the sacrifice there would be no forgiveness. For whatever reason "sins" must be paid for in some way. Either while alive or upon death. And that payment is eternal. That "horrible" event was what made that forgiveness possible. Jesus made that sacrifice for us to His Father. (the only person who could do so)
I may have some of that incorrect anyone with better knowledge and words feel free to correct.

For your Easter week dose of blasphemy, there's
"Resurrection" (200
currently streaming.
If one of those "Seven" rip-off movies, staring and written by the Highlander guy and directed by the Highlander director. The what the hell premise is that there's a serial killer chopping limbs, heads, torsos off people with apostle's names and professions with the goal of building Jesus a body so He can come back.
Yes, it's as stupid as it sounds. The whole point of the movie is to show the mutilated, chopped up, gory, dog's breakfast of Jesus on the Cross to give you stoooopid Christians a kick to the nuts or for the ladies, a cunt punt.
So, no Our Betters won't show Easter related movies but they will make this piece of crap available for streaming.
Watch if you wish, but it's just a lousy movie. Poorly made aside from the blasphemy.

Divine sacrifice is a weird thing in religions.
Nordic Paganism has Odin deciding on a lark to hang himself for 9 days for wisdom, of course less advertised and an early example of "cuck" is Uller screwing Frigga while he was gone and Odin shrugging over it.
Which is not very NORSE, but hey they are the Aesir how the hell can I understand what is going on?

I got close. It's a pretty powerful flick, as befits the most important man who ever lived. Risen is also very good as it explores the reaction of someone who may have been there to see that miracle first hand.

If there's going to be student loan forgiveness, then tie it to some sort of cost for the borrower. My proposal is that you can have your debt halved, and capped at $60k, but you lose the ability to take the Standard Deduction for the next twenty years.

The Jews are God's Chosen People. They already have an "IN".
The main purpose of Jesus was to get that "IN" for forgiveness to the Gentiles or unbelievers as they were called.

Jesus agonized in the Garden, to the point of where His sweat appeared to be blood. He begged God the Father, "If there is ANY other way, please let this cup pass Me by." If there were another way, Jesus would not have needed to die. But there wasn't. So He did.

God made a covenant with the Jews. That original covenant still stands because God doesn't go back on his promises. Christ's death and resurrection brings the rest of us into the covenant, so we're included in salvation as well.
There are lots of theologians on YouTube who expound this better than I or anybody else can in the comments section of a blog. I like Bishop Barron but if you prefer a non-Catholic, N.T. Wright is also good. I'm sure other people here have other suggestions.

I have found in the past that the parts that I struggle with most in Christianity are the ones I most benefit from studying and reading the Bible about. There would be something really wrong with the faith if it made perfect sense and fit exactly what we want.
I mean, if its true and is part of something bigger and greater than us, by an all-powerful, all-knowing God, its necessarily going to have places our limited understanding and sinful hearts balk at or cannot quite grasp.

Current student loan laws (these are only the federal guaranteed ones) give indeterminate leeway regarding financial relief such as suspending loan payments, interest waiving, etc. That being said, Biden already said he had the power to dismiss $10 k in loans per person which I am unclear where the specific legislative authority comes from.

Not a financial plan (that would be good) but a plan to keep yourself occupied.
Depending on your job you've spent at minimum 40 hours a week absorbed by and attentive to your work. When that goes away, what will you do with the time? And it's prime daylight time.
Sure everyone manages for 2-3 years. Catching up on stuff doing things they wanted to do. But eventually you run out of stuff that's new and the money to do them.
Have a hobby or a long term plan to occupy your time. If you can also get out from under your wife's feet that will be great also.

Have a hobby or a long term plan to occupy your time. If you can also get out from under your wife's feet that will be great also.

Annie is the classic democrat sadist to the average republican's masochist....
She revels in nutpunching her readers, and is probably too dense to understand that the literate white audience she needs trends right.
I assure you she is not in the bookmarks of the Ebony and Jet readership.

Thankfully, our church is holding a sunrise service on the water (weather permitting) and our regular indoor service. We're still being made to wear face diapers, which is ridiculous, but at least we're allowed to worship together.
I hope you all have a peaceful and happy weekend.

He loves them. But do they love Him? That's the test. His Merciful Heart is ready, willing and able at all times to accept them. I believe it tortures Him that so many turn away from Him.

We (I say "we" even though Im not Catholic) is having 5 or so services today, tomorrow is the watch (?) and probably 6 services including Latin Mass on Sunday.
No reason we can do it and the center of Catholicism can't

And so we go on, persevering as best we can though we crucify Him daily with our own sin. To all the faithful, I wish you all a blessed Good Friday! To those who do not follow, we love you. Now look at the painting one more time: that's how much He loves you.

Islam tries to teach otherwise.
You only enter into the covenant if you accept Jesus as lord and savoir. He died for your sins and rose from the grave. Ascended into heaven to sit at the right hand of his father.

So the Buddhists are wrong and Christians are right because Christians know God way better than they do.
Posted by: Justsayin' at April 02, 2021 10:18 AM (Fs5vw)
Again, read the Gospels. Read Exodus. Read or watch theologians who have grappled with these questions for 2000 years. As Christopher Taylor says, you seem to want easy answers. Or maybe you just want to argue. I don't particularly feel like it on Good Friday. You're not the first person to have thought up the questions you have.
It's like a few years back, when Stephen Fry, an atheist, said if God, why do children get cancer and all these people on YouTube were saying "he DESTROYED Christianity." Yeah, sure, that's original. As if believers haven't been asking why good people suffer since the Book of Job was written.

I question everything. It's just the way my mind works. I do believe in God to the bottom of my soul and he's presented himself to me in a way I understand personally. And I do believe that Jesus gave us the way that would happen.
I guess I'm just not much of a believer in religion. The "I'm right and you're wrong" turns me away from it.

No, the Gate of Heaven was closed before that. The holy were in Limbo after they died, but until Christ made his sacrifice as the Lamb of God, they weren't in heaven. After our Redeemer made that sacrifice, the saints get to go straight to heaven after their death, the rest us sinners go to Purgatory to serve-out our temporal punishment. If you think you are not a sinner with nothing to repent, I'm pretty sure you're ultimate destination is not Heaven.
That's God's decision, He is the just judge.
Posted by: Retired Buckeye Cop is now an engineer at April 02, 2021 11:05 AM (YQ4mh)

Thanks to the commenters who testify of God's Love.
I especially appreciate this reminder, "And so we go on, persevering as best we can though we crucify Him daily with our own sin."
Which leads to an agreement with this comment, "That's what I call motivation to try harder to be better."
Thanks be to God, for his indescribable gift.
