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?



As soon as you publish your real, legal name or email it to me, and
let us know right here what year, size, model and brand of boat you
drive, I'll be glad to help you in your quest. If you email your name,
I will not reveal it here or elsewhere.

Harry, I told you I would provide you with a copy of my registration for
my boat, you are the one who refuses to accept my offer.



Yeah, sure, so scan and fax a copy to my email, bigshot.

(not home yet but making good progress)



One of the aspects of Florida I enjoyed the most when I lived
there was the absolute tastelessness on exhibit almost
everywhere. I happened to be in one dipstick Florida town one
holiday season and got to see its annual Christmas parade, in
which the various fundie church congregations ran floats
depicting the crucifixion. Yes, they had live guys up there on
the cross. Well, gag me with a spoon.

Harry, I was raised Roman Catholic, have been to many religious
festivals
and parades, and have lived all over this country and several
different
parts of the world. I've never seen or heard of a live person
displayed on
a cross, except at Oberammergau, Germany.

In the past couple weeks you've described two such incidents.

Remarkable.

It is done in Latin communities and is hundreds of years old, it
definitely is not a fundie type thing. My guess is Harry saw a
photo of it, and really didn't understand what it was, and just
guessed that it was a fundie thing.


Your guess is wrong, crap for brains, and it wasn't in a "Latin"
community.
.
What community was it in? Do you remember the town name or the church?





I certainly remember the community name. It wasn't "a" church. It was
a parade, and there were a number of live Jesus on a Cross floats
sponsored by local churches and other religious organizations. I
didn't pay any attention to the names of the churches or
organizations; I was laughing too hard. At the time I observed the
parade, I doubt there were many Latinos living in the community.


That was a great small town with a number of churches and other
religious reorganizations. Most small towns have a church or two, but
you hit the mother load of a small town. What was the name of that town
again?





Now you are posing as an authority on the number of churches in small
southern towns?

Chuck,
I would be willing to give very good odds that there is no Christ on a
Cross parage during the Christmas season. As I said, Harry saw a
photo of it, and didn't understand the time of year it is done, and
who was doing the parade.
How much you willing to put up, sh*t for brains? How about...$100,000?

It's not a Christ on a Cross parade. It is a Christmas parade, and as
part of it, there were guys on floats up there on crosses.
I am willing to put up $10,000 about the Christmas parade, if you will
agree to put up $20,000 about the Lobster Boat

I'll bid 40 Quatloos.

I will pay you $100 for each Quatloos you deliver.
;)

Really?

Send me your address - I have 100 of them.

Seriously.

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.

Just curious Reggie.......why are you and John puppy dogging all of Harry's
posts once again today? Honest question.

Today looks like it like you were tag teaming and trying to start fights
worse than you 100+ posts on 11-24.

Can you stop it? Can you?




Doubtful. Neither of them, along with a few others (Dan, BAR, et cetera)
have anything to contribute, boat-wise.
