The Ratbaggery Of Religion

Have a look at these masochistic clowns:

Pakistani Shiite Muslims flagellate themselves with knives attached to chains ahead of Ashoura day, in Peshawar, Pakistan, Friday, Oct. 23, 2015. Ashoura is a Shiite Muslim commemoration marking the death of Hussein, the Prophet Muhammad's grandson

But the Sunni Muslims hate the Shiite Muslims and both sides love killing each other. Here's what happened the day after the photograph was taken:

A suicide bomber has killed at least 22 people taking part in a procession by Shia Muslims in southern Pakistan.

At least five children are among the dead. Dozens of people were wounded in the attack in the city of Jacobabad.

It was the second attack in as many days targeting celebrations of the Shia holiday of Ashura in Pakistan.

On Thursday a suicide bomber killed 10 people at a mosque in Balochistan province. A radical Sunni group had threatened violence during the holiday.

Now that's what I call the ratbaggery of religion. Is there any religious fanatic out there who would like the defend the actions of either the masochistic Shiites or the sadistic Sunnis? I'd like to see you try.
