The other side of normal.

Wow. You call them cruel because of their customs, but would it be the same if I called Christianity 'fuckin strange and cruel' because they dunk babies in water?

Reminds me of my occult days when we used to preform all sorts of pagan rituals

[gothsk8erchick101]

Thats a danger to the snakes...

[edwardcorfield16]

how fuckin cruel, stupid religion

[Chapels]

i answered before seeing the video. the celebrations goal is for those who take part in the cerimony (mostly shepherds) not to be bitten by snakes

[Chapels]

i guess it may have something to do with the expulsion of evil. like st patrick in ireland, although im not familiar with most italian folklore

[nightwng]

Wait, i thought snakes are suppose to be evil.. Explanation please?
