2 and a half years ago I was still a devout Catholic, even though I did not agree with everything the church said (namely, birth control, homosex etc.). I used to attend mass every sunday morning, I used to sing in the church choir and I also got to act in religious plays especially during easter (I played Jesus and got crucified over and over).
Yet as time passed I began feeling disgusted of the rites of the RCC and I stopped attending masses and stuff because of this. Flash-forward to easter 2012 I'm a full-blown agnostic and I get a call from one of my friends from the parish.
"Hey Leo, we are organizing once again "Il Pianto della Madonna" ["the cry of the virgin", medieval play in umbrian dialect] and we need again someone to play Jesus... are you with us?"
She also told me they were very desperate so after one hour and a half on the phone I reluctantly accepted.
I got crucified another 12 times...

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
