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.

Harry,
It is a bet remember, it is an opportunity for one of us to make $20,000.


Coward.

Now why the **** would you want someone's 'real' name? Your use of personal
data in the past has been nothing but nefarious. Are you turning a new leaf
here?

No way would I give you *any* personal information again.


To what personal information of yours are you referring? The fact that
we used to keep boats in the same marina?

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?


Can you count? Or do you just find it necessary to lie? It's Harry who's
been doing the puppy-dogging. You need to get out of bed earlier.

BTW, neither Harry nor anyone else benefits from your 'ass-istance'.

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?


How big does a town have to be to have X number of churches? Please explain
your theory. Is "big" dependent on physical area, population in the town
limits, population within a certain distance of the town, or what?

In San Miguel de Allende, in Mexico, the Good Friday religious parade
includes a live person dragging a heavy cross through the street of
town. To make the spectacle more realistic, they weave a crown of
thorns for the person portraying Jesus and jam it down on his head
until blood starts running down his face. No mention, however, of
anybody willing to have nails driven through the wrists or have his
shins broken to reenact an actual cruicifixion. Not to say that it
couldn't be done somewhere; people beat themselves with whips and
handle poison snakes in the name of religion, so how hard would it be
to imagine that some zealot gets up on a cross and pretends to be
crucified?
http://www.mexconnect.com/mex_/trave.../gasemana.html
Most people probably don't know that the actual cause of death in
crucifixion is usually a form of drowning. With the lower legs broken,
the victim must rely upon arm strength to keep from literally
"sagging"
down the cross. When the body hangs down long enough with arms
stretched overhead, the lungs begin to fill up with fluid. Only by
pulling back to an full upright position can the lungs clear enough to
breath properly. Eventually the arms lose the required strength, and
the victim
drowns in his own fluid.
Not something most people would want to portray, I'd think.
I'm surprised that the Christ on a Cross parades that Harry mentioned
would have occured around Christmas. Don't the Catholics concentrate
more on images of the infant Jesus during this portion of the year
and the crucified Jesus during lent? Maybe he saw a Good Friday or
Easter parade back in FL? There are a lot of Hispanics in Florida
these days, which undoubtedly increases the percentage of practicing
Catholics.
He must have seen a "Stations of the Cross" parade around Good Friday.
Catholics celebrate Christmas as the birth of Christ, just as do all the
other Christian sects.

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

Why are you puppy dogging Harry's posts? Ask him what town the 'parade' of
crucifixion scenes was in. I'm sure he respects you enough to tell you!

We've already discounted this anomaly. It's not the 'parade' to which Harry
refers. This was a one time shot.
