I said I'd be back... but with what conclusion. Slavoj Žižek made me laugh... But was that the point.
He's funny, but wasn't I supposed to take away more than just his humour.
So instead of reflecting on his humour, I thought I would redirect to someone whose job it was to make me laugh and also reflect. David Hayward, aka the Naked Pastor, is a cartoonist. It is coming up on the end of AFL. This Sunday is Poplar Sunday . So I went looking for a cartoon from The Naked Pastor.
This one reminded me of something Matt Dillahunty said about the whole crucifixion, resurrection event.
"What was the sacrifice? Jesus had a bad weekend." It went something like that. David Hayward illustrated it perfectly. I guess that question has yet to be discussed or pondered, much less answered.
There were a lot of things that came up for question with the narrative of Christianity for me. This is one that still sits in my cranium begging to be asked and discussed. The same question is asked in a song in the musical "Jesus Christ Superstar." (The 2012 Arena Tour is my favourite. )
"Who are you, what have you sacrificed?"
I am looking forward to making that my continued Good Friday tradition. Andrew Lloyd Webber dared ask the question.
