Doesn't seem a little odd that a government has to tell people that crucifying yourself is bad for your health? Um... duh. Quote:
The health department has strongly advised penitents to check the condition of the whips they plan to use to lash their backs, the Manila Times newspaper reports.
Real nails are used in the re-enactments
They want people to have what they call "well-maintained" whips.
In the hot and dusty atmosphere, officials warn, using unhygienic whips to make deep cuts in the body could lead to tetanus and other infections.
And they advise that the nails used to fix people to crosses must be properly disinfected first.

It's a bad choice if you're attempting suicide though, you can never get that last nail in.

You're at least right about Jesus not looking like some tall skinny white dude. |
