I'm ok with a belief in a supreme, but some people should really give their heads a wobble.

Religious fanatics who misapply the faith to harm themselves will get no complaint from me. I only have it in for those who harm others. NEXT!

The gruesome real-life reenactments of the crucifixion ... have become freak tourist draws.

I'm with you on that one Mustard xD. As long as they keep their ideas of "worship" to themselves.

Ah. Flattering, I'm sure, but I'm not sure Jesus would approve.

It is their lifes, their bodies and their choice. They are only doing harm to themselves. Just ignore them, they will go away until next year.

The Prince of Peace honored with "20 penitents . . . nailed to crosses during the day"? How about 20 penitents feeding the poor?

“People here follow their own beliefs. We should not take that against them,”

No, they don't. I follow my own beliefs however by not being told what to do by a book, vision or god.
