tommorrow people will crucify themselves in the name of the loOOOrd

[CptStern]

hey it's almost easter, time for certain people to bring out the whips, hammers and 6" spikes

from last years festivities:

CUTUD, Philippines (Reuters) - More than a dozen Filipinos were nailed to crosses and scores more whipped their backs into a bloody pulp on Friday in a gory ritual to mark the death of Jesus Christ.

yay!! darwin's theories put into action

In the small village of Cutud, about 80 km (50 miles) north of Manila, seven men cried out as nails the size of pencils were driven into their hands and feet before they were hoisted up in the scorching heat.

Up to 20,000 people watched the spectacle, which has grown from a village production started in 1962 to a media and tourist attraction copied in other parts of the country.

The atmosphere was festive, with hawkers selling beer, ice-cream and souvenir whips. Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" blared out from speakers before the penitents approached the crosses.

it's like a freak side show attraction

Awesome.









Wait, no. What's that other word? Oh, right. Retarded.

I dont get why we dont still have the Gladiator matches in the Coliseum like in the good old days. Its pretty aparent that people still love seeing others get hurt and maimed in a gory manner. And gladiator fights would be much more awesome than a bunch of people nailing themselves to a cross.

 

[Stigmata]

Maybe if we made a religion based around gladiators.

 

[Slug Advisor]

Are those people for real? Seriously.

I'm all for feeding the christians to the lions ..we can even be more PC by including all other religions

well fed lions = win win

Next family vacation, Stern?

 

[CptStern]

**** that, they eat dogs in the philipines ...crucified humans I can stomach but Fido on a stick is just too much


disclaimer: not all philipinos eat dogs, however all philipino dogs are perpetually nervous

 

[Krynn72]

What if they crucified the dogs, and eat christians? Would you go then?

 

[CptStern]

ohh that's a hard choice ..not liking the crucified dog but ..eating christians sounds yummy ..their meekness/sheepishness makes them especially tender

 

[Acepilotf14]

You guys are total douchebags. It's not like everyone does this. I just go to church and get monies from my grandma.

 

[phantomdesign]

Christian perspective or not, this is retarded!

 

[Acepilotf14]

It is a little much.

 

[TechnoHippyChic]

They also eat balut. Strange lot...

which is why the pilipines is mentioned in the op, dont get your panties in a bunch; everyone knows not all christians do this ..if that were true we wouldnt have much to talk about in these forums cuz most would be dead or hospitalised due to massive nail induced trauma
