Well, Jesus came to bring salvation and it was his plan all along to die for our sins, so it was good in that the plan was carried out exactly as planned, also it was good because he paid for our sins.

But why did god create men and women with sins in the first place?
Why didn't he make everything just perfect? I don't get it.

He did but he gave them free will (because forced love isn't love) and they chose to believe the lies of the devil and not believe Him.

The early Christians knew a thing or two about spin doctoring.

Really, the name of the holiday comes from an old word for "holy".

Good link. I was surprised at another synonym on there for Good Friday. Black Friday. How different to the Black Friday that we know now.

In Swedish, it is called "Long Friday".

Well, I drank to excess on Good Friday at a BBQ, but the hangover on Saturday was expected.
