Holy Week
Today is Palm Sunday. It marks the beginning of Holy Week as celebrated by Christendom. Palm Sunday commemorates the triumphant entry of Jesus Christ to Jerusalem. I don’t really understand why they call it triumphant because a few days later he was to be arrested and put to death by crucifixion.
This time of week, specially on Thursday and Friday, Metro Manila will be reduced to ghost town as people head to their home provinces to meet friends and relatives and watch the endless reenactment of the life of Jesus Christ. This holiday season culminates to Easter Sunday commemorating the alleged resurrection of Christ. That is, if we believe all the story to be true. The picture above is the poon dead Christ as paraded in the streets like how the Italians did in the Godfather movies. Here is another picture of the same poon taken a few minutes earlier.
Both pictures taken Good Friday of 2003.

If Jesus walked willingly to his death then it was a suicide.
If he was meant to die then Judas is not a traitor cause Jesus needed someone to hand in over.
If Judas was a traitor then Jesus wasn’t meant to die on the Cross. I mean why would we punish a man, be sad for the death of Jesus if all this “sacrifice”, as the Christians call it, was all meant to be.
If Jesus had all the Godly powers without the immortality, if Jesus was meant to be resurrected again then where is the sacrifice Christianity is so proud of.
If Jesus knew of Judas intent from the beginning then Judas is no traitor, because to betray would actually mean trust and friendship had existed…
Just some of the illogical things I see in this story.
