Rapist, Inspired by Bible, Cuts Off Penis

Updated 11:15 AM ET January 5, 2001

SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A convicted Brazilian rapist sliced off his own penis and flushed it down the toilet, saying the amputation would bring him closer to God.

Prison guards said they found Flavio dos Santos Cruz, 23, screaming and profusely bleeding in his jail cell early Thursday after he cut off his penis with a shaving razor.

"He's alive. But since the penis was missing, he now will have to urinate through a tube," said urologist Aerton Barbosa Neves, who operated on Santos Cruz in the town of Andradina, about 410 miles from South America's biggest city of Sao Paulo.

Santos Cruz said he was inspired by the Bible.

"It is written in Bible that if a part of your body distances you from God, and makes you commit a sin, you should cut it off," he told local news wire Agencia Estado.

Since Santos Cruz did not cut off his testicles, Neves said the rapist could still ejaculate -- possibly while dreaming -- and even impregnate someone, albeit only with medical assistance.

Prison officials could not immediately say how many people Santos Cruz had raped and did not know the length of his jail sentence.

Well-what can you say? I guess this is a bad thing for those that would interpret the bible "literally". It is sad that this gentleman did not know what "metaphor" means. In this case, of course, it is a call for celibacy; cutting it off meaning not pursuing the lustful desires. Wow.
