The Jesus character got crucified only once. A guy in the Philippines has been crucfied 35 times.
Man nailed to a cross for the 35th time on Good Friday in brutal tradition
"Mar. 29, 2024
MANILA, Philippines (AP) β A Filipino villager has been nailed to a wooden cross for the 35th time to reenact Jesus Christβs suffering in a brutal Good Friday tradition he said he would devote to pray for peace in Ukraine, Gaza and the disputed South China Sea.
On Friday, over a hundred people watched on as 10 devotees were nailed to wooden crosses, among them Ruben Enaje, a 63-year-old carpenter and sign painter. The real-life crucifixions have become an annual religious spectacle that draws tourists in three rural communities in Pampanga province, north of Manila."

@Diotrephes what's he going to say when it has no effect?

@Diotrephes I get the moral significance and if Jesus was real which I doubt from numerous evidence, I would say I feel sad that the guy does that to himself. On the other hand no pun intended, I do see it as kind of unnecessary pain on yourself for no reason.

The guy says that he has benefitted from his repetitive ordeals but that he is now ready to stop because of declining health. I wonder if he would have had the same success if he had gone without food and water for forty consecutive days and nights like Jesus did, but over a 35 year time span?

@Diotrephes Since he admitted his health declining I doubt he'd be successful. I think when he says he benefits it's mostly a mental high made up in his mind at the thought of suffering like Jesus did with the intention that Jesus sees what he does.
Crucification continually would have the body constantly inflamed due to the trauma inflicted on it, his health wouldn't be in decline if he had decided not to do it.
