Those persecuted members of the largest religion in America are all gearing up for Easter, or Jesuster or Spring Fertility Festival or whatever it's being called this year. In fact, I like that. Spring Fertility Rites. "Get fucked and have a chocolate egg for The Goddess!" Happy Number of the Beaster!
But you know, most U.S. Christiopaths will probably do nothing more than buy a new dress and a hat and break out their white pumps to show their devotion to their Personal Lord and Savior. Pussies. In the Philippines, they're actually nailing themselves to crosses for Easter. SAN PEDRO CUTUD, Philippines --At least 11 Filipino devotees were nailed to the cross during Good Friday reenactments of Christ's final hours.
Yeah, now see? That's how you show devotion to your religion. Suing your college? Child's play! Writing angry letters to Wal-Mart? Amateurs! No, to really show how devoted your life is to Christ, hanging by nails from a cross is the ONLY way to go this year. You're just not fully dressed without a cross on your back! In fact, I feel naked.
The Lenten ritual, opposed by religious leaders in the Philippines, is an annual tradition in this farming village about 45 miles north of the capital, Manila.
The Roman Catholic devotees were crucified in batches, their palms and feet attached to wooden crosses with four-inch nails soaked in alcohol to prevent infection.
(Devil take the cross-post!)
