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.


Far from a theologian and I know virtually nothing about fundie sects. I
simply stated it was a bit strange that whatever a "fundie" Baptist is (as
identified by your host and repeated by you to the NG) would participate in
the display you described as it is not a symbolic to their (meaning the
Baptist) faith.
