  • What's a job!

  • hahaha at least they dont wage wars because of religion. (christian,jew,muslim)

  • What is this ?? and where did all this came from ?? who invented this ?

    I'd rather be an atheist than doing all these masochistic acts .. pardon me.

    Thank God I'm a Muslim (Sunni not Shia's nonsense)

  • @legendray2008

    I believe sufis do similar stuff.

  • thanks god for the islam gift

  • this is stupid

  • this is very crazy

  • this is crazy

  • Emos on crack....?

  • Cocaine is a hell of a drug…

  • I love how I was just listening Brutal Grindcore like Ingested and Severed Savior and this was in the related videos

  • ok i did shit like this when i was really drunk and don't recall it and my wife calls me names these guys get like that and they just party longer something wrong here

  • l crack must be legal

  • Why couldnt church been this fun when i was growing up?

  • 4:24-4:30 how the fuck do you get taken out of such a deep, intense trance by just a slap on the shoulders? they arent taken out of their trance by shit being peirced through their skin etc, but theyre easily brought out of it when someone gives them a swift pat...somethings not right here lol

  • okay fuck being a vegitarian. i love meat!!! 

  • Just like the matrix.... they r uploaded with another operating system... The entity will vibrate itself to get in sync with this world and body(when possessed) ... like how the matrix agents can loads itself into any identity within the matrix. its pretty much the same and scientific... they have different gods that perform certain function just like in a corporate structure... all aim to keep us in check....

  • THEY ATE TOO MUCH MAGICAL MUSHROMS

  • they are fucking crazy

  • guys this is all true, the spirits of other people [ghosts] go into the other people's bodies.

  • Drugs a wonderful thing

  • this seem to be what the christians are haviing, when they are "possesed" by the holy ghost AKA devil

  • @Welle92

    That's what it looks like to me when I see christians going into "trance" mode etc.. The first time I saw it on youtube, I thought, they being possessed by devils.

  • Strangest thing i have ever seen. Religion can make you do some silly (and atrocious) things.

  • LMFAO!!!

  • this is why i hate any religion.

  • see this is why education is important...

  • blood!!!! faints....

  • THATS MADDDDD FUCKEDD!!!

  • WOW

  • Religion is evil

  • Cocaine is a hell of a drug

  • sprry but this doesnt look right aspecially the idols

  • not enough meat.

  • all emo's.

  • You can't say that these people are weird, you have to respect the cultural differences. They grew up in this culture, so to them, this is normal. We are just hurting people's feelings just by putting their beliefs down. I'm sure we do a lot of things in America that other people find repulsive. Like eating cows, and how some people think that's ridiculous. But to us, it's normal to eat cows.

  • Sorry if i sound rude, but this is a very painful religion/tradition. i am so glad i do not believe in these kind of stuff.

  • @PowerGenerator1 its not painful cause when theyre possesed they dont feel it lmfao

  • wat a fun festival! I wanna go and beat the fuckin shit out of myself and stab metal rods through my mouth too!!!!

  • all i can say is wtf.

  • Id like to see christians have faith like this, shit if you have faith in God then SHOW IT like these guys are HAHAHAHA

  • That's pretty taboo.

  • jesus help these ppl!

  • 1:19 Holy Crap! The Dharma initiative is involed with the Phucket Vegetarian Festival. We need to investigate this!

  • lmoa what is phuket - fuckit

  • dam those people endure pain like its nothing o.o

  • The devil.

  • @jagusana exactly.

  • @jagusana ...is my bitch

  • the video explains everything... SELF POSSESSION. for example, the government's war on drugs is justified by saying, "we are protecting the users," yet these people are allowed to mutilate themselves? what is the discrepancy between the two situations? money? fear?

  • this is one of the most badass things ive ever seen someone needs to stat this for dungeons and dragons

  • jesus did this. lmfao

  • @der1331 ......yea....sooo....true.....­=`)

  • dude they look high...they probebly smoked a bunch of pot and didnt know what was going on.

  • @TheKaylnxxx hahaha

  • pssst, theres no sucj thing as spirits

  • thats called a "blackout". ;D

  • haha how satanic..

  • @PassSawWhy yea... wau.. you must be a christian.

  • This is why I'm proud to be white

  • @cliftonite187 uh... ur white... wao

  • Wow... Think I might get nightmares after this. Seriously did you see the guy's cheeks pierced by rods? Wow. Scarier than the brain bank one....

  • This video proves that Acid is bad for you :D

  • Comment removed

  • Jesus... have mercy on them...

  • okay

  • these people are stupid. why would why WILLINGLY let themselves be possessed? i though chinks were smart.

  • Eating vegetables and fruits for 9 days is doing your body a great favor, you should always do that once a year.

  • this is amazing

  • they smoke too much crack

  • crazy f*ckers!

  • sick freaks

  • weird

  • so if i got it right? they cant feel any pain because the spirits posses their bodies?

  • lol they must be using some sort of recreational drugs in this festival? O.o

  • They do this here in Taiwan too... Quite crazy. But there is no doubt when you see someone possessed, that there is something deeply spiritual going on... There is no way you can fake that kind of thing. I don't think it's Satanic in anyway... You never here these guys ripping off Christians for their beliefs, so why do Christians think it's okay to say this kind of ceremony is Satanic? Don't fear what you don't know, for that is the path to true evil...

  • dude, nice!

  • @moodphase5 they're not faking it,..it's just something that has to do with the brain,..problem that can be resolved and studied scientifically

  • @moodphase5 IT IS SATANIC, Demons are not stupid, they are clever, there are also thousands of them, some are active in governments, the top ones are controlling the satanists who control the US government. This group is known as the Illuminati, their satanic conspiracy was exposed in 1785.

  • Okay, I believe that there are evil entities as there are good ones, but that doesn't mean that any religious or spiritual practice that is not Christian, comes from the devil? I don't think any of the guys in this video are in the Illuminati... Just a thought.

  • @moodphase5 Like I said demons are everywhere, notice that these spirits are only active in non christian cultures.

  • @Xendrius That's not true... There are plenty of cases of demonic possession in Christian culture too. Religion is just a human construct to try to understand the spiritual world... but it exists in another dimension way beyond our understanding so at best, we can only make guesses at what's going on... until we die... we will never really know for sure. All religions are part right, part wrong... don't think Christianity is any different from the others... Love and light!

  • @moodphase5 I didn't mean that, when in christian cultures they are known for what they are, noone believes them to be spirits of the dead or gods. That way they avoid knowingly interacting with them.

  • @Xendrius Dude, respect other people's beliefs. Even if you believe the things controlling them are demonic doesn't mean you have to try to shove it down moodphase5's throat.

  • @moodphase5 There are people who rip on Christians for their beliefs everywhere.

  • wow that is the stupidest thing iv ever seen!! this religion is ridiculous and false.... who ever started believing in this religion must have been one ignorant fuck!!!!!!!

  • Just because it's not what YOU believe... doesn't mean its false. Spirituality can't be ignored and there are many paths to express this belief in the other side... Look at the Christan church with its speaking in tongues and stigmata... How is that any different? I've seen some shit in my life outside of any religious context that convinced me that there is a lot going on in the spirit world we don't understand. Better to respect it than simply dismiss it.

  • yes dude both are batshit crazy. no difference.

  • @ChibiBorg i want to exepereince it i would go to the idol and smash it and spit on it lets see what it would do to me for now its all bull shit

  • And the rituals of "vicarious redemption" existed thousands of years before the advent of Christianity or even Judaism. Shamanism is the oldest religion in the world; and there are many traces of it even in your own "modern" and "civilized" religions. Open your eyes.

  • isn't this taoism?

  • Yes. Taoism being one of the oldest religions in the world. When I say "Shamanism," I don't mean it as a distinct religion. "Shamanism" is kind of a general term that is used to describe pre-religious mythology; the rituals, beliefs and practices of tribal peoples that eventually (usually) develop into a "world religion." "Shamanism" is more of an anthropological term than a religious designation. Shamanism is the root of all religion.

  • What you are seeing here is a very ancient tradition of Shamanism. All of our ancestors did it; yes, even those of you who live in the west. Don't let your indignation blind you. When you think about it, the rituals here are not so different from the mythological traditions of Christianity. Christ died to "save" the world, we are "healed" through HIS suffering and death, right? And the people in this video, suffer, so that others may be healed. It's called vicarious redemption.

  • wonder if they have done studies of post skin infections after these rituals

  • gay

  • The mayans just got lazy and figured they wouldn't live that long so they said "Fuck it let's stop putting numbers if we won't live this long anyway".

  • whats with foreign countries and hurting them selves lol

    btw im vegetarian so that must make healthy =D lol

  • so rituals actually do heal you, even if they are bizzare in any reason. theres magic in the air in this video.

  • FUCKIN AMAZING!

  • Um.. alright so the veg/fruit thing healthy eating thing YEAH that would work

    but why the fuck self mutilation?

  • i went to a black church in miami and all the idiots in the congregation were doing the same thing in the name of jesus. talk about embarrasing.

  • diferent belifes diferent names diferent people SAME SHIT

  • crack is a very powerful drug LMAO

  • interesting the idea of faith in a different culture.

  • Not a country i wanna visit.

  • lol lol

  • Why does everyone call them "DUMBASSES", each one of us believes different things, just cause they don't believe what you believe that doesn't mean you can call them "dumbasses"!

  • Yes, we all have a right to believe any sort of zany claim unsupported by evidence, but I have the right to say why it's stupid.

  • @DearMariaChannel We dont call them dumbasses cause they belive in diferent things.We call them dumbasses cause they belive in BULLSHIT.

  • @totallnewbiefan

    People are allowed their own beliefs, stop being such a prick

  • @sylvan18 completely right!!

  • @DearMariaChannel Wrong and wrong.They are dumbasses not cause they belive in different things but in WRONG things.And we CAN call them dumbasses all we want over the internet even if they werent.

  • @totallnewbiefan yea.. and your right. Wao...

  • @lingswaransingh Well i definetly am.Explain how im wron please.

  • @DearMariaChannel

    you are a dumbass

  • @DearMariaChannel Nice words

  • @DearMariaChannel -exactly, do u see them calling us all fat ass americans with mcdonalds for breakfast lunch and dinner and all we use is our credit cards to buy everything we cannot afford......

  • @DearMariaChannel these cromagnon stuff is just stupid. it doesn´t teach u anything good for u or advance your ideas and concepts. it doesn´t make u a better person or helps your society to evolution. instead it keeps u blind and stupid clinging to that stuff which won´t allow u to know another stuff that instead has a purpose and improves u as a person and your society

  • @SuperBoomboon most logical reason for that

  • lol....

  • DUMBASSES

  • DUMBASSES

  • perfect example of the prophets of baal

  • heathens

  • going dumb and hyphy! :D

  • With all the prohibition of drugs, it's a good thing we have such drug-free alternatives to pain and the humdrum of the typical life experience.

  • the last christian died on the cross

  • He was jew...

  • What in heavens name is this...??? Hell to the naw!!! :(

  • Christians also don't act as mediums for spirits.

  • as mediums for money

  • wow

    and people call MEE emo lol

  • 3:49 hey fucking retard

  • LOL!

  • i love you yemail send me l33t n00dz of your dad and junk

  • Interesting, remind me that some Christians dance with cobras and some Muslims hit their backs with chains. Religions are very powerful bullshit.

  • Christians don't dance with cobras, where the hell are you getting your information??

  • Well, I watch that long time ago, the following link is not the one I saw, but I believe that they are the people that I saw.

    watch?v=XD8CmqXia2w

  • Yeah, those aren't Christians. That's a sect that refers to itself as Christianity.

  • Well, you can say that they are not Christians, but apparently they think themselves are true Christians, and I believe their faiths are as strong, if not stronger, than most other Christians, and so there is no way to say that they are not Christians. Within Christianity, there are also so many sects. So, who is Christian and Who is not? They read the Bible too, right?

  • Just because they make themselves out to be like Christians doesn't mean they are. If it quacks like a duck and acts like a duck doesn't mean it's a duck.

    Within Christianity there are not sects. There are only sects claiming to be Christianity to make people feel comfortable with joining their "church".

    I do agree with your earlier statement though that religion is bullshit. I don't understand the concept of someone asking someone else what to believe.

  • They smoked some good shit.

  • who possesed them?LOL

  • Religion is a spent force.

    Thank god for science!

  • religion isnt about reading about something and accepting it as truth.i believe the main idea of religion is about experiencing truth for yourself through deep self observation.the main focus of our religions have been altered by people nowhere even close to how spiritually blessed the religions founders were. dreams, obe's , etc. are an essential part of this exploration of self that we should all do.

  • doesn't sound like a very nice God

  • playing with satan...

  • Yeah... I'm sure someone gives these guys some form of drug or a... supposed spiritual drink before the ritual.

  • "I was nautious and dizzy"

    OMG! You need some migraine medicine.
