All the different congregations around the world hold it at similar local times but they all effectively are at different times relative to each other ... so why does the time matter?
Why the almost superstitious "oh, it must be after sundown". Cause it's not sundown everywhere that second.
God knew the earth was round ... right?
Why will one place be nearly 24 hours later instead of saying "this is the closest time"?
So why not during the day? I mean it's 2,000 years later, does it really matter that much?
Why not figure out when it's sundown in Jerusalem and do it relative to that? Yes, some poor bastards would be getting up at 2:00 am to celebrate it but who's to say that isn't what he meant and wanted?
And why unleavened bread? And unfortified wine? Does it also matter what the plate and cup are made of? If not, why not?
It's like half of a perfect re-enactment but then meh, good enough.
If I had gone to the memorial then I would have missed the girl scouts calling round selling those delicious chocolate mint cookies. Just the thought of potentially missing out on those makes me want to curse Jesus. His cookies are just crap by comparison.
The wine was a nice idea, I can get on board with that, but the bread needs to be re-thought IMO.
Happy death day Jesus!
