Crucifixion in YouTube

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/nation/view/20110403-329146/Bishops-slam-crucifixions-to-draw-in-tourists

The Pampanga town of Pedro Cutud is now preparing for its grand event of the year -- the Lenten ritual of locales nailing themselves on the cross. Tourists and "pilgrims" are preparing to converge to this hot and dusty town.

The tourists all have their cameras, ready for uploading this weird scene into YouTube, sort of proving to their friends back home that they have been to superstitious, desperate places in the Third World.

The "pilgrims" are in quotation marks because which true pilgrims will come to this event that has been criticized by the official hierarchy of the Catholic Church.

But why does this event continue each year? This is an issue in which atheists like me are in full agreement in the Catholic Church, the Department of Tourism, the Evangelicals, and the National Government -- that is to STOP this sordid spectacle.

The Catholics are now appalled and embarassed by this bloody spectacle. A bishop ruled that the body is too sacred to be desecrated this way. And yet, in the past the church tolerated self flaggelation, which is equally bloody if not more.

What else should the RCC do? Why do these people continue doing this? Clearly, beliefs are driven by superstition rather than rational thinking. What is worrisome is that like the Ati-atihan that started in a relatively small town in Capiz and spread to the big cities of Cebu (Sinulog) and Manila (fake Ati-Atihan), the Cutud Crucifixion has now spread to the big city of San Fernando and soon to the entire superstitious nation.

p.s. I have an idea. Why don't atheists distribute condoms during these events. That way the Catholics will be very angry and shut down these entire events. We will title it as "Nail me down safely".

Sa tingin ko dapat huwag payagan ang mga taong ito na gawin nila ang panatang ito, puwede naman yatang pigilan ito kung gugustuhin ng simbahan katoliko.

Sa totoo lang matagal nang sinabi ng simbahan na mali ang pagpapapako o saktan ang katawan kapag panahon ng Quaresma o kahit kailan man.

Ngunit walang kapasidad ang simbahan na physically pigilang gawin ng mga deboto ito.

Walang magagawa ang simbahan kung gagawin pa rin ito ng mga namamanata, hanggang aral at payo lamang ang kayang gawin ng simbahan, walang sapilitn kasi sa amin eh.

Ang sa akin lang, Dhugz, kung papasuotin kaya natin ng condom ang mga ipapako. Baka mas masigasig ang simbahan ng ipahinto ito. Kailangan sana na i-denounce ito sa pamamagitan ng pagbabasa na sulat-pagbawal sa lahat na misa. At pwede rin silang mag-threaten ng excommunication sa lahat na gagawa nito.

O baka hanggang sa anti-condom lang ang masigasig na pagbawal, di kaya?

Bakit walang kapasidad ang simbahan na gawin ito sa anong dahilan dahil ba matigas ang ulo ng mga mananampalatayang ito kahit mali ay tino-tolerated parin
