Depending on the mythology you believe, those three days were spent harrowing hell to free the souls that were sent there for not believing in him because he hadn't been born yet. The Bible is filled with a lot of these post hoc revisions, though this isn't in the Bible itself
Yeah, Bible tends to skip over the thousands of other Jews (including women and children) that were crucified during the first Jewish-Roman war during this same time period.
We are supposed to think God was so great for saving the Hebrews from Egypt, but first he let them be enslaved and culled for generations, then he hardened the pharaohs heart so he could have his big climactic showdown with Moses.
I mean, if three days in hell gets me and all of humanity into heaven for all eternity... Yeah it'll suck, but after a few billion years of therapy I'll be ok
How do you think conventions happen? they just materialize out of the air? The hotel decorates itself? The artists hire themselves? the stage shows just spontaneously happen? Six thousand people just show up and magic happens? God don't I wish; it would mean a lot less work for me!
Ticket sales do pay for some things - like renting the hotels, offsetting some room costs with local hotels, and equipment. However, most goes to charity! They're mostly huge charity balls!

He wasn't in the grave for 3 days, he went to hell to save the patriarchs and laugh at everyone else born before him still stuck there.

It was three days in Hell, canonically. Wasn't just chilling in the tomb relaxing.

Who volunteers at a furry convention?

I figured ticket sales pay for staff, venue, etc. Do they not pay the staff?

Nope. We're communists. I put in hundreds of hours a year just because I want people to be able to experience the joy and magic for a weekend.

That's really interesting I never would have known. Thanks for sharing and have a good day!
