Man cuts off his penis ‘to stop him sinning’
I've seen a lot of crazy things done in the name of religion, but this takes the cake. From the article, "A man cut off his own penis and threw it in a toilet ‘so he would stop sinning’." That must be some religious devotion, right there. This happened in Spain, so that means there's a very good chance he's Catholic, which would make a lot of sense given that his fear of sin made him cut his penis off. That's just one of the side effects of a belief system that treats natural urges and acts as disgusting and unholy; that's what you get when you repress people's sexuality.
The article ends in the mother of all understatements, "There was also a suggestion he may be suffering from psychological problems." At the very least he's suffering from the psychological problem known as religion, which is one doozie of a mental illness.

Sounds similar to Boston Corbett, the soldier / Christian religious fanatic who shot John Wilkes Booth. Corbett removed his own testicles with scissors to prevent himself from sinning.

There are Bible passages, one where Jesus says, in Matthew 19:11-12, "There are some eunuchs who were born that way, and there are some who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. Anyone who can accept this should accept it." Jesus also said, "If your right eye offend you, pluck it out . . . . If your right hand offend you, cut it off . . . . If your foot offend you, cut it off. If your family gets in the way, hate your father, hate your mother."

I'm gonna stick with the sinning if it's all the same to you.

Rasputin, sin all you want, I'm fine with it (as long as everyone involved is ok with it too).

"If you're two consenting adults -- and which of us isn't? -- it's nobody's business who you love. Right? Nobody's business who you love, where you love, what equipment you might use. It's interesting, but it's nobody's business.
Actually, the equipment is somebody's business..."

The Church Father Origen (considered a heretic by some) is also said to have castrated himself to keep himself from sinning. Go figure.

Wow its just disgusting in my opinion. My manhood is like my life. And its what keeps life going so how would it stop sining? God made Adam and Eve but Adam needed something to reproduce right. I think it'd be unholy.

This can't have effect in reality, that's what I think.
