I thought sins sent you to hell, and that's a sin? Of course, it could be different in Mormonism than the dominant religions here, but still...

It was a joke to the effect that in your particular case, it wouldn't be the meat that sent you over the line. What I actually believe is completely different . . .

What would send me over the line? I don't actually do much in the way of sinning...

I'm not a theologian, so I doubt you care what I think
but I view all that stuff as tradition not sin/good works. I doubt Jesus really cares what i eat on Fridays, as long as I follow what his 'teachings' as I interpret them.
You might not consider it a sin, but that has no bearing on whether it is or isn't a sin.

Cleopatra gets both off from classes (it being a Catholic school and all...), but I don't (it being a public school and all...).
We got Good Friday off in (public) elementary/middle/high school, though.
It is in the US. and people keep asking why
Or rather, it's not.

My question is: Why is it called "Good Friday" anyway? Isn't it the day Jesus was crucified? Shouldn't it be "Bad Friday" and "Good Sunday"?

It is a corruption from "God's Friday"

Since Christians believe their sins are forgiven because of his death, it is considered a good thing.
Maybe not officially in all senses, but it is for a lot of people.

I suppose that depends how we define a public holiday.
Although you're in Connecticut, right? It is a state holiday in Connecticut, so my apologies for any confusion.

No. Because it is an game that is extremely damaging to society, and as such, must be punished if played on any other day.

This. Quite well put.
Basically, it's good because "Jesus died for everyone's sins" and that is a good thing. So, despite the whole "oh no he died" thing on Friday, you are meant to be looking forward to the 3rd day, when he supposedly conquered death. So, it is a reminder that you should look forward to his victory over death, and not forget it, like Jesus' disciples did after he was crucified.

Today I've found this sentence while surfing the net:

And makes me wonder: Why do americans add so many unnecessary dels and el/la/los/las when pretend to speak/write Spanish?

because going off of how we're taught it in classes(going off of the classes I've taken) they teach that you basically need at least one article(that's what they are, right?) for every word.

Would I be correct in saying that in Christianity, you go to purgatory for sinning, not hell, in order to "work off" the sin?
I'm probably way out here, but I seem to remember reading it somewhere...

Loves a good question
I'm not 100% certain, but I think that is how the Catholics see it. Most Christian denominations don't have the concept of purgatory.
