That's taking it a little to far...in my opinion.

I am fully aware that it wasn't on Easter Sunday that they did this, but like I said it is part of the Easter Celebration.
Yes, I am glad it wasn't me they nailed to a cross. Are you glad they didn't nail you to one?

Some foreigners have previously been crucified including a Belgian nun and a Japanese man, who later allowed footage of his ordeal to be used in a pornographic film.

It is not On Easter that they did it.It is on a Friday before Easter Sunday. Easter is for egg huntng and festivities. Do not worry about those who were nailed. Even if they went too far, at least it is not you they nailed. It is still much better than wrapping bombs in your body and inflicting death and injuries to innocent civilians.

Yes. Native Americans had a similar practice called swinging at the pole. They would hook long cords through the skin of their chests and pull against the cords until they ripped through the flesh. A sort of rite of passage. Filipino society is not long removed from the hunter-gatherer stage.

I think there is some old church song with the line "I want to be like Jesus" Don't think thats what the song is about though.

They do this every year, as part of their celebration of the Crucifixion...

I agree. It is rather barbaric. No where in the Bible are we told to do this.
