Well....... this thing has always been an unanwered query for me......... I have witnessed many many people "Getting possessed"....... (not by spirits....... by God, that's what they claim...
![]() Now let me list some of the common 'traits' or behaviour shown by these 'possesed' people.......Well, what's wierd is that..... they, on getting possessed, do certain activites, which for a normal human I would term as harmful/painful....... * Invariably scream loudly..... whole body shaking violently/even uncontrollably..... (Atleast 4-5 ppl have to catch hold of them..... possibly to avoid the affected person hurting themselves.... or even hurting others in the process...... ![]() ![]() * Sometimes..... on getting possessed.... the person.... Hits the floor in front of him with mighty force..... its sooooo audible even if u r seated long away from the person...... they hit the floor with as much might and sound...... (kind of 'signalling' to others that I'm possessed??? ![]() * Demand for Burning camphor to be placed on their palm/toungue!!!!! (Eeekks..... ![]() ![]() Some other things done by people..... (even maybe 'non-possessed' people.... do stuff as an 'offering' to God) * Walking barefoot on fire/burning coal ![]() * Piercing cheeks, or any other body parts with rods/sharp objects/needles etc.. ![]() * Reports of Animal Sacrifices and sacrifice of self body parts in temples are regular stories on TV and papers. ![]() * Something more wierd activites that I've seen...... would better not mention them...... Eekks.. even thinking of it makes me freak out ![]() ![]() ![]() Well, frankly, I dunno how far this 'getting possessed' part of it is true..... some believe it to be true, some say its all fake...... and probably it doesnt bother me beyond a point...... but what bothers, is why on earth must they go on to do such harmful/painful activities???? Proving some point??? or if acco. to them when God enters their body, they get powers to do such stuff?? ![]() ![]() C'mon.... I'm too a religious person to quite an extent...... But I get freaked out sometimes on seeing such stuff happen..... ![]() ![]() ![]() Is there any end to this? Any answer? I don't think its just plain matter of belief.... there's surely more to it..... ![]() ![]() ![]() Love Music....... LOVE GK

I believe it's one of the two reasons:
1. Attention grabbing techniques by people craving attention/fame 2. These people suffer from psychiatric conditions-split personality, schizophrenia, hallucinations. A science that does not deliver us to the portals of metaphysics is a failed science and a religion that does not embrace physics is not grounded in reality.

If gd didn't want us to go through suffering, why did he create suffering?
