The bizarre ritual of throwing newborn babies off a temple 50ft high and catching them in a cloth sheet has been observed in India.
Babies are thrown from a templeDevotees at a Muslim shrine in western India\'s Maharashtra state believe the act makes children stronger.
It is practised by couples who are blessed with a child after taking a vow at the Baba Sheikh Umar Saheb \'Dargah\' (the Muslim place of worship) in the Musti village of Solapur.
The ritual has been observed for more than 500 years.

Has anyone run some statistics measuring the "strength" of these vs the others that werent thrown off a temple?
India is a strange place in terms of religion and rituals. It gives birth to countless impostors claiming they are gurus and they have thousands or even millions of followers, there are many beliefs that ended up Indians getting killed to "cleanse" themselves from bad karma, and countless of others in general that make people do very strange things.

They grow up to give brith to 8 limbed babies, two faced babies and tiny 18 inch teenagers.

If I have to respect the thought that people believe in a Jewish zombie (who was his own father) that can read your every thought, will send you to hell if you don\'t worship him (but he still loves you...), then people should respect this.
And they also have to respect my belief in the celestial tea pot

Oh thats just wrong, guess they never heard of child abuse.. One of the kids was crying.

Kids cry when they get their friggen hair cut. As long as they don\'t get injured, who cares. I say it builds character at a young age.

Now that you\'ve mentioned it, I have seen a few Indians flying around like birds. And people say I\'m crazy!
