I for one was a member of said cult in India AND I later became a cutter

I have to say, it's a close one

You really get revved up by the frenzy and spirit of Allah while yer battin yourself in the head with the ceremonial machete

But there's nothing like relaxing on a cold winter's night in front of the fireplace with a razerblade and a virgin forearm

*sigh*

My only regret was forgetting to lay out some plastic before I ruined a pristine polarbear rug.

fuck that makes me angry

I'll be back later, it's been a slice LOL

I have some *artwork* I gotta touch up

The documentary includes:
Graphic scenes from the festival of "Ashura", in which some believers, including young boys, commemorate the sacrifice of the "martyr" Imam Hussein by participating in a "blood-letting" process...

Why are people so silly?

News flash from the next day: "5,000 fundamentalists contract AIDS! Homosexuals and atheists among those blaimed by religious leaders, although most doctors say the main problem was that they cut their heads and bled all over each other."

*continues eating yoghurt*

Guess I'm not squimish.

*yawn*

And people are stupid.

I've become numb to other people's stupidity.

Do you know, only men do this thing, and introduce their children, as young as 5-6 to the cutting?

Yeah, exactly.

After looking around, I consider the people that inhabit that website to be on par with the people in the video. Did you read their comments? Racism, bigotry, advocacy of genocide, and everything else that is vile in the world is expressed through that site. Get me a barf bag, please.

maybe it's just me but...

I like it when religious zealots put their own health at risk...as long as it's not messing with anyone else, let 'em hack their own heads clean off

Yeah, but they've been misguided. They've had that shit shovelled into their heads since they were born.

If a kid was constantly told that slashing his wrists was good for him, would you then say he deserved the pain when he actually did it?
