Just to be more humane, I understand they don't do it all at once, but gives the convict (victim...) a day or so to recoup after a certain amount of lashes... I think.
They really need to get out of the friggin middle age....
I'm becoming ever more convinced to resign from the church with all the issues with different religions.
Christianity isn't all that good either, we're only couple of hundred years ahead of Islam - culturally.
Seems to be only more trouble, and I don't need religion to know the right from wrong.
Wonder why I haven't already done that, because I could resign from the church via internet!
Ain't the technology just marvelous or what?
