I really wish people would calling the place where Christ died "Calvary". That word is not in any translation of The Bible I've ever read. Calvary probably sounds prettier than "place of the skull", but that's where Christianity begins to border on nonsense, when people try to sanitize the reality of it. Christ's death was not beautiful, it was not pleasant, it was nothing to feel nostalgic or fuzzy - tingly over. It was a disgusting physical reality that had deeply profound spiritual ramifications that we should be forever thankful for, but looking at it with a syrupy sentiment is just bs. But then again, there's people who think PASSION OF THE CHRIST was morally wrong for depicting the crucifixion in that manner. Granted, PASSION OF THE CHRIST was not a particularly great movie. But that was no doubt a flaw of the film. Ugh. 😬
