What some people do and not even think twice about the consequences. Another group that gets filed under "You got exactly what you deserved".


Because son, it is what you are supposed to do.

IMO, Christian self-flagellation is as dumb Biblically as it is medically. Complete lack of understanding of salvation by grace through faith.

Mystery infections traced to blood-shedding religious ritual

See what I did there? A clear and concise title. And all I did was copy and paste it from the article.

Don't even get me started on Finnish saunas and birch boughs.

The practice of whipping or cutting oneself has been practiced among different religious groups, most notably by Shiite Muslims on the holy day Ashoura. Usually only men do it, and it's controversial even within religious communities.

Of course not. Why would anyone be counseled to avoid participating in some ridiculous religious rite that could be hazardous to one’s health? Roll Eyes

To their conception of Christianity it makes perfect sense. It may be totally wrong to you. Isn't disputing religious dogma sort of silly? If it were obvious who was right, we would all have the same religion. As long as they don't whip others who don't agree with them, live and let live.

A thread title is not clever if members can't figure out what the thread is about.

Priority:

1) Clarity
2) Conciseness
Distant 3) Cleverness
