I hear that Sunni's just stand around and read from the Qur'an, quite a contrast....:/

Yep, the masochistic lengths people go to to celebrate their religions are definitely disturbing. :-/

Renegade: Three major differences between your pics and mine. (Likely more...) Let's see if you can't figure it out for yourself.

2) one religion is right, and the other is wrong.

these people need to get a fucking life

Hmm, the first sequence had no women or babies, so that's two down, one to go.

But yeah, highly disturbing to say the least.

One of them has cute babies who spill jam all over themselves while the other has a bunch of fugly bitches?

the first ones depict a ritual, obviously, the wounds are self inflicted.

the second are stigmatas or "signs" of the presence of god, not supposed to be self-inflicted.

on a side note, the woman on the second set of pictures came some years ago to the church were I go and some freaky shit happened to her with hundreds of witnesses around.

Posted by Palestinian on Mar-04-2004 07:37:

First set is self-inflicted like ahlamalek said. second set is a mystery, or as Christians believe, a sign from God.

Posted by imokruok on Mar-04-2004 13:33:

Very good! I think you guys have the right idea.

Posted by razmataz on Mar-04-2004 20:19:

both are self inflicted...

i dont believe in stigmatas, pardon me if you do...

I don't believe in them too... but there's a difference between a massive crowd who does it and a single person faking it.

Different strokes (or lashes of a blade) for different folks.

If people want to go about doing that sort of thing to themselves I have no objection to it. It's no different from drug taking, or masturbating 20 times a day.

well whatever you consider there was a period during the Crusades/Plague where self flagellation was considered the solution -

plus the kids in the Islamic pics arent injured, its obv fake blood|

i dont agree when it comes to children and babies been subjegated to the same situation. that is not responsible at all. maybe i have a sore spot for the young tikes. i mean those wounds could get infected and even cause death to little children, just imagine the trauma. i could care less if the grown-ups do it, after all they are only hurting themselves, but i still think its sick and would call them barabaric

Some people cut themselves for their believes. Other get chemicals into their body. Others get excited watching false events that never happend or that are completly moronic. Others like to watch other people living while they are sitting in front of a luminated box. To each its own.
