I'm still atheist and confused about why they were hammering nails into a cross. Religious people do some weird shit.

or taking the piss. I've never known a 'chipmunk' vocal to be used for anything apart from taking the piss in the past. But 'Go Hard for Christ Youth Ministry' seems to be a genuine organisation, despite the snigger-inducing title they've chosen.

Get yourselves hooked up to one of those rigs that simulates labor and see how quickly you scream for mercy.

Then we'll talk about how tough you really are.

...of the real crucifixion, we wouldn't be talking about this. Xianity would have never gotten off the ground, because ol' JC would have never been crucified.* Though he might have died laughing as he watched those ten-thumbed clowns try to build a cross and drive nails into it.

*Usual Pedantry: Which is exactly what Muslims believe - Jebus was never crucified so he was never resurrected. In fact, he never even died - he was skyhooked straight up to Heaven, just like Mohammed.

When I lived in Saudi Arabia, one year Passover, Easter and the Muslim religious holiday of Eid al-Fitr all happened at about the same time. The Saudi Gazette published a special edition, celebrating the three "peoples of the Book" and what they believe. Very ecumenical, almost as good as holding hands around the campfire and singing Kumbaya etc. etc.

Except they published the stuff about Jesus never being resurrected, which naturally defeats the whole purpose of Easter. The American Xians on our compound were furious about that article. I was LMAO.

They are nailing nails into it......

Do they want to be the Roman soldiers who crucified Christ? Are they gonna throw lots to see who gets his robe? Does someone get stabbed in the left side?....repeatedly?

Religion is so ridiculous!

...so they believe themselves at least partly responsible for his death. Mel Gibson pulled the same shit in his torture porn movie; it was his hand swinging the hammer.
