(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. |
