Every Good Friday in San Fernando 100 km north from Manila, 3 men or more are cruified and nailed with 5-inch sterilized nails to the cross. What do you think? Is this barbaric, or for the shows only, or just a fanatic belief.

interesting topic. Perhaps it is caused by tradition. It is quite popular but I think it should be stopped. However, due to the emotional attachment of people involved, it may cause a conflict in their beliefs... Perhaps, the saying applies: "What is popular is not always right." People may love to see it but the it seems it is not right. Also there is a saying: "What is right is not always popular." People would do best by fasting, praying and doing works of charity... Unfortunately dong the best thing may not "look" so appealing d b? Cheers.
