Muslims cut and whip themselves for Ashura

I hope I reach that part one day.

I wouldn't waste any time trying. The prophet is all you need to see.

I'm not saying the average Muslim does this. It's interesting watching their celebrations and traditions though.

I admire their dedication though!

Do you think that is healthy Behavior? What does it accomplish? I don't think Allah is impressed or pleased by it.

I'm well aware that some Catholics used to do that. I find it unhealthy and I'm glad the church does not keep that tradition.

I'm sure there's still a tiny percentage left that does that.

Well, if God's not around to do it for you, I suppose you got to take things into your own hands.

You must be thinking of the flagellants. A very strange aspect of Catholicism. I thought that died out in the Middle Ages but I wouldn't be surprised to see a few existing today.

Pope John Paul practiced flagellation, opus dei use objects to cause them discomfort like a cliche, can be a hairy undershirt or a chain with small teeth that dig into the skin, strange stuff.

If John Paul II inflicted suffering upon himself, he must have got what he wanted when he was shot twice and came down with Parkinson's
