And you couldn’t have that special day the way your friends do – you know, wear the ring on your finger and have it mean the same thing as everybody else. Just put yourself in that person’s shoes. It makes me feel sick to my stomach …. When I shared a picture of my tattoo on my Twitter page and said, ‘ALL LOVE is equal,’ a lot of people mocked me – they said, ‘What happened to you? You used to be a Christian girl!’ And I said, ‘Well, if you were a true Christian, you would have your facts straight. Christianity is about love.’ The debate resulted in a lot of threats and hate mail to people who agreed and disagreed with me. At one point I had to say, ‘Dude, everyone lay off.’ Can’t people have friendly debates about sensitive topics without it turning into unnecessary threats?” - Pop star Miley Cyrus on her marriage equality tattoo - - - - - - - - - - -

Christians Perform Live Crucifixions

I'm going to say, you're not a true Christian unless you can do what your fellow brethren in the Philippines do every Easter.  PERFORM LIVE CRUCIFIXIONS.

YES, you just read that. 

Every "Good Friday" Christians in the Philippines partake in annual ritual (that's what I will call it) where they re-enact the bloody crucifixion of Jesus Christ by beating, and nailing volunteers to an actual wooden cross.  Those who wish to portray the son of God, say its a blessing to take part in something so true to their hearts.  One American, who wanted to witness a "live" crucifixion went so far as to say, "from what I've seen so far it seems pretty exciting, pretty crazy, but totally a unique experience, something that I would never see in America."  No Fucking Shit!

You know what they say: True fans go all out. Though I don't see any members of the Westborough Baptist Church just waiting in line to get nailed to the cross. Just saying.
