Fucking Hell - not even the DnD geeks can come up with something that fucking wicked. I'm not sure I fully comprehend the religious purpose, any enlightened ones out there?

I don't know how it got to be a "Muslim Thang" but I know that self flogging started as a way to appease God during the Plauge so that he would have mercy. A group of Jesuit Monks followed the path of Christ's Passion and whipped themselves with some sort of razor sharp shit while walking.
Hope that qualifies as an "enlightened" answer... Let the stone throwing begin.

They do this for the same reason angsty kids cut--they get a brief adrenaline rush. At least the emo kids have the decency to not ascribe it to god, and often to continue the process to completion.
