Good Friday at The Restaurant
Since when did Good Friday become so commercialized.
I guess when wall mart came about and Christmas started in October.
You would think they have commercialized every holiday they could. Christmas is now three months early, Thanksgiving has its days of crazed out shoppers all hoped up on star bucks and energy drinks, but Good Friday? Really?
Today, if you were into the hip social seen, then you know what I was talking about. Any good devote Christian gave up their meaningless sacrifices like french fries or fast food in general, to represent the sacrifice that Jesus went through millenniums ago. So today, everyone comes out in their designer fashions and overpriced luxury gas hogging vehicles, and runs off my good tipping regular Friday lunch crowd. Which directly affected me, because now I am working all day, running my rear end off, trying to appease the nine tables I have of angry wannabe high class snobs. Get over yourself people.
Lets get back to the real meaning of Good Friday. In short, Good Friday is a day that followers of Christian religions observe in remembrance of the suffering and pain that Jesus was put through for the sake of humanity. Jesus did not go down to the classiest restaurant that he could afford, spend two hours discussing politics and entertainment television, and then tip ten percent to his server. So why would any true believer of such a religion follow this form of worship?
Don't get me all wrong. I have no faith that I will claim I belong to. And I have absolutely nothing against the Christian church, some of their views I like, even live by. But if you truly followed your faith, would this not be a day that you went to your service, and spent the rest of the holiday worshiping and try to get a better understand of his sacrifice? Would you give up french fries for lent, or maybe something more old school like a vow of silence?
Don't let your faith be cheapened by clever advertising and gaining rank in your social class. Celebrate the way you should and let the rest of the world go F itself.
