Filipinos re-enact Christ's Crucifixion

It's funny how their religion is based around some half-dead naked Jew nailed to a piece of wood and arose as a zombie 2 days later. A religion based on suffering. Sounds peaceful.

In some circles your comments could be seen as 'anti'

All this time I thought Jesus suffered for our sins and these guys are doing it for fun wtf is that.

We crucified our singer in a band I used to be in. http://www.vimeo.com/875212 For as fun as it was to be in that band it sure did suck that the music was so terrible....

The Philippines has a majority Catholic believer population, and many Filipinos are much more religious in a scale than western countries like the USA are expressing theirs. Mount Carmel pilgrimages are known in the USA, but no American is known to reenact the very brutal harmful act of crufixicion to one-self to profess a belief of Jesus and the Christian faith. No matter how dramatic and shocking for anyone to watch a crufixicion performed, I say one will have a stronger learning experience on Easter.

As devotional and brave as it is, it is also quite barbaric

no way

It smacks of masochism to me ,Surely no God would want his followers to undergo such torture ,having experienced it himself fullywired

I may be an ass but I am assuming you are deciphering Jesus the Christ of Nazareth as the only God of the Universe.... ?
