Seems odd, but I guess it is their bodies. Faith can make people act odd...

Yep... and football players believe in the game to the point that they put their bodies through all kinds of abuse, extreme sports enthusiast test their physical limits climbing the sides of shear cliffs or participating in bicycle races across France and the environmentalist will camp out in a tree for months protesting. Your statement shows a narrow understanding of the world and how human nature works.

Get out, read something... experience new cultures and ideas... it will do you a world of good.

That's the understatement of the year.....

Are we assuming this is a common Christian ritual or just a few nuts?

From the link:

The spectacle is a unique brand of Catholicism that merges church traditions with Philippine folk superstitions.

A secularist liberal probably applauds those folks getting pierced.

And your statement shows a clear misunderstanding of how the world works and human nature. Your comments in general employs the logic of a Dan Brown novel, exudes the human warmth of an alligator, and exhibits all the ethics and honor one could expect to see in the negotiations betwixt a gaggle of used-car salesmen conventioneers and a Vegas escort service. But I suspect you already know that.

your spirit is quite common......and is a universal theme.

Good point. Sundance... I've seen one... was invited to a week long Sundance by a Lakota family I was very close to... on the Pine Ridge Reservation. I guess people like Popcorn Eater would mock them too!

Humans have done bizarre actions in the name of religion since religion was invented. Why should they stop in the 21st century? Same brain in the ol' noggin.
