Somewhere in some country across this globe some hairy Jesus lookalike is screaming in dire pain as ppl drive nails through his hands and feet. For what? A trip to the local A & E? Not only is this dangerous,its retarded. I mean why doesnt Pope Benny do it? I mean he is apparently (in the minds of a few million gullible ppl) Gods rep on earth and besides Jesus hadnt a choice. These idiots have. A lifetime of pain while the so called powers that be in the Vatican have their starters of fresh lobster and caviar washed down with fine wine.
stupid stuff,
Westside.

Sounds about right Westie. For a movement that is all about helping the poor and the casting away of material possesions to live a life of poverty themselves to be closer to God , they seem to have an awful lot of money themselves, and it cant all be for compensation to the kiddies who they have fiddles over the years

02-04-10, 18:23DoozerAs far as I know Weste, the are re enacting the Passion narrative. The want to have a tatste of the pain that Jesus went through as he died for our sins to save us all. Unlike the lades in Rome these guys actually want to be closer top GodQuote:

Yeah, loads of hermits and monks and all sorts of religious aesthetes do all sorts of weird shit to commune with their idea of the Divine.

its a common misconception that the nails went through the hands and feet, the Roman way of crucifixion was to nail their quarry through the wrists and ankles, thus the flesh is less likely to rip and their patron to fall on the ground.
The Romans, what have they ever done for us !! -
