    You need to chill.

    I didn’t make anything up. There are people in South Asia that do these things to gain enlightenment. I do believe they are Buddhists but I may be mistaken.

    Or mayby probably didn’t get the memo.

      Your claim was that there are religions that encourage monks to starve themselves.

      Now you’re backtracking.

      I’m with ya on hating every aspect of religion, but you may be mistaking fasting for starving. The human body can survive long periods without food with no ill effects

      I’ve fasted for 12 days before.

      Maybe focus on the stupid shit like aan surviving being eaten by a “fish”. Or a guy building a wooden boat and getting every species of animal aboard.
