How do I know they were crazed fundies? When I saw the parade, I
asked my hosts, "Who are those nutcases?" and they told me. They
weren't Catholics; they were fundie Baptists.




That is a bit strange Harry.

The figure of Jesus on the cross is more of a Catholic and "high"
Protestant tradition.
Baptists ... "fundie" or not .... don't depict a figure hanging on a
cross, not even in their churches.

Baptists, by tradition, celebrate the life, not the death of Christ in
their rituals.

I had no idea you were a theologian, and empowered to speak for all the
fundie sects. :} If the town I saw the parade in wasn't such a
backwater place, it probably would have a newspaper with photos. But it
doesn't.


What was the name of the town?
