Nutty Filipinos Mimic Christ



What's the deal with Filipinos reenacting the passion of Christ? I mean, if they are true Christians, then they know that Jesus did this for a specific reason, and he agonized in the garden over the events he would eventually go through. They should be praising him, not getting nails driven thru their hands. What's the point? Do they really think Jesus is clasping his hands under his chin and thinking 'How wonderful?" I think he is massaging his nail holes and shaking his head at such a ridiculous spectacle. This is borderline idolatry and definite lunacy. Although this doesn't really grind my gears, it's causing them to smoke a little trying to figure out why grown people would want to mutilate themselves like this.
