Well, it may seem to be like it for the most of you, but these people are devotees in their religion ..that's their own belief

I know what you mean. Its THE EVENT on the Phillipines...and the guy hanging on the cross is the proudest human being of the world in that moment. I saw a documentary about that...but:

That makes Religion look bad, perverted and bloody. Its just sick as hell to repeat the suffering of Jesus Christ every year.

Ugh, this people, they want everyone to know they hate God, religion.

Dude, get the **** over it, nobody gives a ****.

You already said what u are gonna do on Holy Week, now get the **** out you weirdo.

God loves us all so please shut the **** up and leave me alone

I practiced Visita Iglesia yesterday. It involves visiting several churches, praying, and reciting the way of the cross.

I also walked from our house to a famous church. It's like a 10+ kilometer nonstop walk.

I dunno if I won't eat pork today. Catholics are only allowed to eat fish and veggies today but I don't eat them.

I disagree.

I think we saw the first modern political war in the early 1600s which was the Thirty Years War. It changed from religious to political, where you had the Bourbons and Habsburgs fighting for political power in Europe. Those two families were both Roman Catholic so they had no religious rivalries.

I think the most notable example is World War I. The UK and France allied even though one was Anglican and the other was Roman Catholic. The newly unified German Empire, which was at least 50% RC, attacked another RC country, which was France. Religion meant little or even nothing in WWI.
Arguably one could say religion played a role in WWII but let's remember that the UK only declared war on Germany because they invaded Poland, not because of their prosecution of the Jewish population.

WTF is happening here I'm just asking whatchu gone do this Holy Week and I see people fightng religions?

What that guy on the cross may be doing is wrong but that's his faith. You can't judge it because that's what he believes.

And please don't generalize that ALL Filipinos do that crucifixion thing based on that video. Watch more of your "documentaries" to solidify your claims.

(To stay on topic) my family and I visited churches but I wasn't paying full attention to whatever we're doing. I guess I already grew out of the usual customs of Holy Week activities. And yeah, I'm eating meat atm.

is sucking dick considered having meat on good friday?
