Happy Friday the 13th
What a really interesting title for a forum topic? Isn't Friday the 13th suppose to be unlucky. How can we be happy on such an unlucky day.
Why is Friday the 13th unlucky? Well I got the answer to that.

Way back in 1303, on a Friday the 13th, the church slaughtered a bunch of Bapthomet worshipping Knights Templar, trying to free the world from the corruption of devil worshipping. Since then, Friday the 13th has been considered unlucky. Unlucky by whom, Free Masons! Who cares about what a bunch of luciferian worshipping occultists consider is unlucky.
So, be happy. Friday the 13th is only unlucky to a bunch of occultists, because they got judged by God's people! Praise God!
Glory to God and Power to the Resistance.

Last I checked, it was you religious Jesusferian freaks that were the superstitious lot. Don't know any "occultists", so can't speak of their beliefs. As for me, I'm athiest, so superstition doesn't come into play.
"Way back in 1303, on a Friday the 13th, the church slaughtered a bunch of Bapthomet worshipping Knights Templar."
That's right, GoodNewsJournalist. Because it had nothing at all to do with seizing the property and land the Templars owned...no...god forbid that was the motive for demonizing them.
As I recall, the great king of the French (I think it was one of the Phillips, possibly the second, but it has been a while since I read this) decided that by seizing the property of the rich order of the Knights Templar, he could become a whole lot richer, and never actually have to repay his debts to that same order.
All in all, a fine buisness transaction, that only cost the lives of an order of Christian knights.
Wait, I thought Christians were supposed to refrain from judging...oh, wait, fundie...right. Judge away, brother!
And what's this "power to the resistance" bullshit? The only things I've ever seen fundies resist were science, education, separation of church and state, human rights and tolerance.
Actually, according to historians, the whole "Devil worshiping" was just a cover for the French king Philip to seize their weatlth and take back power over his kingdom:you lose .
But then again, since they're real historians and not "Doctors" like Creationists are, you probably don't believe them anyway. And it was just Catholics that were murdered; it's not like they were people or anything.
Friday the 13th was the day Jesus was crucified.
Oh, and guess how many people were at the last supper?
Of course, the number 13 being unlucky predates that... 13 Gods of Olympus threw one out because it was unlucky... Babylonians hated the number 13 too.
Reading the thread, it's evident that this guy is a member of the Tinfoil Hat brigade. I especially like the part where he says the Holy Spirit has "convicted" him that Hitler wasn't a Christian. I know fundies play fast and loose with word meanings, but isn't that kind of stretching the fundie sense of "conviction" into meaninglessness?
I hate to break it to you, but Friday the 13th isn't unlucky for anyone. It seems to be like you were afraid of the day so you sought comfort by finding an excuse to deflect the power you think it has onto others. Do yourself a favor and go one step further by realizing it is a stupid superstition and that it cannot effect you or your life. And while you're at it drop the religion crap. They're basically the same thing, except one has fancy costumes and rituals.
But you idiots still think 666 is the devils number and fear it, even after that was found to be a mistranslation.
Paint lambs blood on your gate or door, or an angel from god will kill your first born child only. (how many parents threatened their kids with that one i wonder? "you'd better listen to me mister-man or maybe i'll just 'forget' to paint the door tonight!"
Sacrifice a blemish free animal to appease an invisable man in the sky.
Crossing oneself and saying prayers to ward off "evil".
Menstration or childbirth makes one "unclean".
Touching a burnt offering makes one "holy".
etc. etc. etc.
Or..... the Devil tricked Philip IV into crushing the Templars and making Friday the 13th an unlucky day so hundreds of years later the Devil could inflict a seemingly unending series of Jason movies on Americans....
Sounds no sillier than your bullshit.
Thirteen days after I was born, friday the thirteenth, I almost died in my incubator from lack of oxygen due to an asthma attack.
I've decided for that day to never be unlucky again, though this friday sucked with boredom and apathy.
Have fun pretending to know what the Freemasons think... and incidentally, they're almost all Protestant.
Power to the Resistance?!? LMAO, what are you resisting? Please tell me it is freemasons, because I might wet myself laughing.
Wellm, I'm off to go piss on a cross....
...wait, what? Pissing on a cross is wrong? Why is that? Is it because something BAD will happen to me if I do? Is that a foolish superstition?
...you're probably right, all the hookers hang out by the church on that side of town. They turn tricks for hits of meth. Last thing I want is an STD from a hooker who thinks I'm there for business.

Actually, the number 13 is quite lucky:
Because of the 13 original colonies, the eagle on your dollar has thirteen feathers on his wings and tail. He holds 13 olive branches and 13 arrows.
Beyond this, 13 is the retirement age at the Neverland Ranch.
And, of course, the US flag has thirteen stripes (seven red, six white), to symbolize those thirteen colonies.
Also, what was the de facto US motto for nearly two centuries, E pluribus unum has thirteen characters, as does its English translation Out of many, one (if you count the comma ^_^). Of course, that's probably just coincidence, but it's still kind of neat.
I'll admit that when I moved in mid-February I decided not to fly on Friday the 13th...however, I did decide to get my hair cut on Friday the 13th, and I'm actually more scared of getting my hair cut than flying.
Friday 13th? Other than the title of a series of horror films, it'd most probably be considered lucky to those in the Far East, especially Japan. Over there, odd numbers have fortune-based significance, even numbers less so (especially 4, which they avoid like the plague, as it sounds like the word for Death).
So be happy, Japanese! Friday the 13th is lucky. Which fucks up what GoodNewsJournalist claims, ne?
Actually, the Vatican was getting upset that the Knights Templar, who were tolerant, and refused to mass slaughter people on the whims of a church leader, were more popular and becoming wealthier than the Vatican. And one thing we know, the Pope HATES competition.
Actually, the Templars were the good guys, 'tard.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
