17. No, the stock market is not religious because like corporations it is not really a person,
but many of the actual people who work there just might be religious.

If you look at it from a religious aspect, it wasn't a particularly "good" day for Jesus either and it most like was not a Friday.

7. Whats good about a Friday with no chance to rip off those pension funds?
Suddenly, I think I'm channeling Mr Potter.

9. Good Friday it seems ...
You're just preaching the Bible and they still speakin you're a lier
And you still deal with the fires
That they made...

dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah, you
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah

Why you wanna get me?
Dreams don't last forever
Why you wanna fix me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I can't take it

Why you stab me in the back?

We're so gonna loose
And she, knows they got this to be
She... I dah dah dah dah dah

dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah people
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah
dah dah dah dah dah

Why you wanna get me?
This dude won't last forever
Why you wanna hit me?
See, if the police don't take it
God forsake it
I'll fell breaking

Why you stab me in the back?

:dem:

20. It's so liberal to mock Christianity, isn't it?
Other markets in other countries close on their religious holidays as well, but you don't mock them. Oh no, that's not allowed, but mocking Christianity is allowed & encouraged.

24. Makes 'em cool. Makes 'em one of the "crowd". Let's 'em "fit in" better.
Ever seen anyone here denigrating President Obama's faith though? Nuh uh...

25. Good Friday is a Financial Holiday
Most of the financial industry is closed today.

Most of the financial industry is open on Veterans Day instead.
