Of course not. What a beautiful person and leader. We don’t need to know every idiosyncracy a person has and how they sleep. Sometimes it’s too much information.

So I don’t think ‘weird’ would be appropriate to categorise a person who indeed had noble intentions.

What "noble intention" is there is lacerating your skin until it bleeds?

Idiocy should not be applauded lest it breed more of the same.

My dad once used a leather belt on me but i didn’t notice any increase in my spiritual awareness though there was a definite increase in posterior pain. Yes, I did repent of my error and if it had been left up to me I would’ve skipped the belt part entirely.

He never read Franny and Zooey. Jewish-Irish-American was light-years ahead of him.
