If Satan did bugger Him from crucifixion to resurrection, can His sacrifice still atone for my buggering various and sundry assorted menfolk over the years ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

BTW, I'm sure glad we don't shy away from today's burning questions and also those age old mysteries . . . .

I'll probably have eggs for brekkie on Sunday, to commemorate how Jesus died for my sins. I'll add bacon and toast to display my atonement for being a sin-filled sack of shite. And I may include waffles to admit that I'm as responsible for the suffering of Our Lord as the rest of the human race.

I don't like eggs.

I'll be "celebrating" the same way any stressed out atheist American with bills to pay will be celebrating: I'll be fucking working.
The upside is that I'll spend part of the day on board a Chinese-crewed vessel. There will probably be a healthy percentage of them who, like me, give less than a shit about everyone's favorite Western fairy tale.
