While there is One True Faith, there are many different equally valid ways of expressing this faith; for instance, the Roman rite, the Ambrosian rite, the Byzantine rite, the Maronite rite, the Syrian rite, and so on and so forth.

"Q" is a theoretical text which scholars (non-Christian or liberal Christian generally) claim was the source for certain other Gospel texts.

Would that be the "Quelle" (translated = "source")?

It seems to ring true, but I'm hardly a scholar, so I don't know.

seems strange to celebrate someone's death if you ask me, but, it's your religion! what d'you mean by 'ribbed'? do you mean tease, or poke fun at, perchance? |

As for Easter... that's technically a celebration of Jesus' Resurrection! His overcoming both Sin and Death! His own death on the cross, while a horrible thing for Him, opened a glorious Hope for us... and He submitted himself to it out of Love for us and for His Father. So by His death we can be forgiven for our sins... and by His resurrection, He demonstrates to us the New Life we can have in Him. THAT'S what we're celebrating!

The truth is different for everyone. Or at least, people's perception of the truth is different, depending on what truth you're talking about. Nice quote Brownie! Yea Niels Bohr, the Bohr model of the atom!

[And despite my assertion that the phrase "one true religion" doesn't work for me ... "one truth" does, - I speculate, but I think our universe probably operates in line with one set of natural laws - the extent of which even scientists are unaware.] And tentatively ( until someone demolishes my argument ) 'selfish' is not especially a dirty word. Given that a total lack of selfishness would maybe produce a person who is altogether naive and easily led, without opinions, convictions, direction or self-determination - instead being the 'fuel for the fire' to further the aims of the less than scrupulous. Perhaps the individual seeking (and finding) a balance somewhere between the two states, selfish/ unselfish would be the key to provide for communal harmony (which surely would be one aim of religion, wouldn't it?). Even selfishness having its uses since it's the other end of the spectrum to selflessness. The negative needed to provide a behavioural spectrum, giving us a range of movement choices. *climbs down from her soapbox*

Ergo, Good Friday celebrates Christ (prospectively) demonstrating that physical death is not an end to life. (Am I allowed to mention Tolkien here? Who proferred the thought in The Silmarillion that death might be a release from a burdensome life.) It's like a friend of mine once said, though, What do people think they're going to do with themselves for all eternity?
