Note that the death and crucifixion of Christ are something to be
made fun
of by Harry. I find little redeeming quality in his comments or
attitude.

Well, you have to remember here, you are dealing with a fundie
liberal, they are among the most intolerant segments of our society.


Neither you nor Herring have a clue about this.


Remember the newsgroup rule:


"If I ain't seen it, it doesn't exist".


It's related to another rule:


"Without a web link, nothing exists".


Ahh, yes, the "totally dependent upon Google newsgroup researchers."


Hey...it is free, and worthy every penny.


Harry,
I would doubt a small town would have any info on a small parade, and I
am sure you are correct, but I am curious, what town is it?- Hide quoted text -

Turns out that there is a "theme park" in Orlando, FL, where the
crucifixtion of Jesus is reenacted (for the benefit of paid ticke
holder, of course) several times each week. Photo shows a realistic
depiction of a man tied to the horizontal portion of the cross, being
whipped along by a Roman soldier- but does not show the man actually
elevated on the vertical member of the cross. Still, it is a memorable
image.

Jesus is reduced to a theme park character, running around with a
"wireless microphone", and all in the name of religon, profit, or
both.
I think this is a bit bizarre, but obviously this is a private
enterprise operation and it doesn't have to appeal to everybody.
