Many folks in India had a colored mark on their foreheads from a daily prayer ritual, or they were wearing the red dots (present on both men and women), signifying focused thought during prayer.
Here, you see Muslim men with a dark spot on their foreheads from kneeling and touching the ground when they pray five times a day.
Oftentimes, I see people reading from their holy scriptures, and of course, I would be out of place to judge, but I wonder sometimes if they are doing it to gather a deeper understanding of their God, or are they doing it because it looks impressive?
Of course, the folks in these parts, as well as many other places - I'm guessing - also dress in such a way as to express their "holiness" or their faith.
Sometimes, it seems like folks are trying to outdo each other in "showing" or "proving" how religious they are.
When you see this kind of behavior, do you gravitate to them, or are you repelled by them?
