If you promised that you wouldn't, and then broke that promise, you could be regarded as a "bad person" for breaking the promise.(If you're a Roman Catholic, then you're breaking an implicit promise to fast and abstain from meat on Good Friday, since that's part of the teachings of that particular church. If you're Protestant, you may or may not be; consult your religious teacher for guidance.)If you're not Christian at all, then "Good Friday" is just another Friday and you're no better, or worse, for eating meat on that day than you would be on any other day.
