    As it's Good Friday and we have a bizarre ritual in this country that means that I can't go for a pint tonight(why can't it be Good Tuesday instead). Here is another one that I was amazed at and no sign of Michael Jackson, anyone got any more?

    Does eating the body of Christ not count as eating meat?
    As such anyone goes to mass on holy days which forbid the eating of meat, and take communion, are actually defying God!

    Having ashes put on your head always seemed odd to me. People walking around all day looking like chimney sweeps

    My post wasn't a moment of epiphany where I suddenly realised the Catholic Church was hypocritical.

    Most people don't realise this, but the Easter Bunny was the 4th crucifixion victom on the hill of Golgotha. His crime: Allowing women to eat chocolate eggs.

    It was a sarcastic comment about the church, not a reflection on your post.

    Apologies. ;)

    The commentary on the video is actually quite funny. He certainly doesn't seem to think much of the anthropologist or I guess anthropology.
