Don't be cross!

I just remembered what my favorite part of Easter weekend is.........the people of the Philippines who get crucified!!!! Every year I get to see a story about how those crazy flips either ask to be crucified with real nails hammered in their hands and feet, or how they whip/scourge themselves until their backs are all cut up and bloody in order to atone for a year of sinning. Religious extremism at its best. I also highly enjoy the irony of the situation that the bishop of that area does not condone it and publicly speaks out against it and then the people go and do it anyway. But since the bishop is supposed to be channeling god's word, then the people who crucify are essentially going against god's word..... I wonder if they think about that.....
