Inflicting purposeful trauma on one self, for some imagined deity is a fairly common and straightforward description of insane and crazy.
Those morons didn't hammer those nails themselves. Somebody did it for them. The scum with the hammer should be arrested for torture, assault, etc. Likewise for the flogging. It's not legal to inflict harm like that, even if the victim asks for it.
These performances are a national shame for the Philippines.
believe it or not they have the consent of that man being nailed on the cross...
i don't know why they tolerate this things...and they let the kids watch this...
i think its their tradition..of course not all of us here in the philippines doing it..but some part of regions here are.
they think it'll wash away all their sins and stuffs like that..
and i guess can go to heaven through this process....
horrible isn't it? "its more fun in the philippines" (slogan) as they say.....yeah i bet its fun..
Christianity is surely a death cult. I prefer life!
Crucifixion is a form of execution practiced at this moment. ISIS has been crucifying people. Armenians were crucified by the Turks a century ago. For some reason Christians glorify one particular torture murder 2000 years ago. Rather than condemn the practice as heinous they replay this one over and over.
<@chimp3Christians glorify one particular torture
They even make jewelry out the horror and wear it around their necks. They do a little cross pantomine by touching the forehead, navel and both tits. Priests bless their flocks by tracing an air cross with their fingers. (Does anybody wonder where those fingers have been?)
Such displays of self-inflicted scourging shows why most forms of torture are ineffective. If a person can get into the right state of mind he can endure all kinds of pain.
I wouldn’t even watch this. They’ve been interviewed before and it’s quite clear their reason for doing this isn’t in keeping with Church teaching. They’re actually discouraged by the Catholic church in the Philippines because of this.
If the Catholic Church really, really, wanted to 'discourage' this they should implement excommunication for those who do it. This masochistic meat fest would not stop immediately and might even go underground, but it would and should stop being an open public festival that only encourages the next generation of young Philipinos from engaging in this stupid un-christian spectacle. Bugger the tourists, they have the los muros to look at and marine world.
Excommunicate the fools or insist they complete their sham pantomimes to the bitter end. "Oh look!! I am Jesus!!!"
When I was a god botherer I really hated this pretend crucifixion stuff. I thought it was a mockery of Jesus. The rest of the Catholic christians in the Philippines who don't engage in this idiocy should protest, on compassionate grounds and demand this stupid stuff stop.
Self-flagellation is a common practice in many religions. Pope John Paul II did it. The only question is how tolerant the church is to severe self physical abuse.
IMO the church discourages severe self flagellation and abuse because the publicity on any deaths is difficult to explain.

I would love to go as I am only 4 hours away. Unfortunately, Korea is a country of heathen Shamanistic Buddhists and Confucianists, with only 1/3 Christian. So EASTER is not a holiday. Still, there is hope. The Christians are pounding the country with their BS and the Christian faith is growing rapidly. Mormons and JW are on every corner and the Catholics are not far behind. Perhaps next year Easter will be a national holiday and I will get to go and see the insanity of the event.
Jesus Christ.
Anybody stupid enough to allow this to happen to themselves, totally deserves every bit of it. No sympathy for complete fools.
A poem.
Easter Male
Pointless puerile self-purging.
Vain-glorious pious pain gain.
Messianic-mimicking masochistic machismo.
Faith-based Fight Club flagellation.
Theistic DIY torture.
and fun chocolate eggs hunts around the garden.
Arrrgh!!!!!men.
Do women do this sort of shit?
Pain and suffering is biblical. It tests how good you really are. That's what some people think.
Wisdom 2:18-20 (CEB) = "18 If this man who does the right thing is indeed God’s son, then God will assist him. God will rescue him from the hand of those who oppress him. 19 Let’s test him by assaulting and torturing him. Then we will know just how good he really is. Let’s test his ability to endure pain. 20 Let’s condemn him to a disgraceful death: according to him, God should show up to protect him."
