Yahoo! News, 2001-12-07
A 32-year-old Filipino farmer who believed his penis was driving him to sin sliced it off with a machete in a fit of religious fervor..."He indulged himself by reading the Bible," his mother told reporters in Bacolod City 300 miles south of Manila, where the man is now in hospital. "His act was probably triggered by the book of Matthew 18:8," she said. The verse, from the New Testament, reads "If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire."
Webmaster's comment:
Warning: Reading the bible may have a deleterious effect on your love life.
