Religion makes man cut his tongue

Blind faith in anything can be dangerous many times & can lead to a mishap as it blinds ones intellect & clouds the rational reasoning. Something similar has happened, when in a bizarre incident, during "Navratras" festival , one man from Ludhiana city in Punjab state of India cut his own tongue to offer it to goddess "Kali". "Navratras" is a religious festival of the Hindus, where people worship Goddess Durga & Kali by fasting & performing religious ceremonies during nine days period of the festival.

Man was immediately rushed to the government civil hospital here on Monday after he cut his own tongue to offer it to the goddess.

Doctors at the civil hospital performed a surgery on the man after people rushed him there as he was bleeding profusely.

The doctors were able to stitch the tongue back.

So here is a classic example when religion makes one do weird acts in the name of religion.
