The buddhists tends to stay still, the muslims scream.. at least on Liveleak.
I'm sure that for complete immolation your religion doesn't matter, and for anything else as long as you get a minute away from the flames it's "just" a 3rd degree burn.
having seen enough hedgehogs burn during the midsummer festivals I'm pretty sure that no matter what the cause, we all pass out in half a minute or so during complete immolation. It's the partial burning I'm afraid of ;)
Having said that, it's been my experience that pain tends to be kind of "logarithmic". Once you get above a certain level it's just pure "pain" that makes you scream in agony, but be it a 10 times or million times stronger doesn't really matter.

I was just using the Buddhist monks as good comparisons, cause they all just sit there as they do it. Cause that's their thing. Others generally don't. Cause, uh, that's arguably better.
'Just 3rd degree burns' Hehe. They have fourth degree burns. It's when you see bone, everywhere. Let that sink in for a second.
Anyway. Yeah. Logarithmic pain. You hear the most unexpected shit here, sometimes. I tend to agree, but... There's levels of pain you can imagine, and levels you just can't. Unless you've been there. And you probably went into shock and had it suppressed, which wouldn't be a bad thing. I certainly haven't. Closest I've been was almost cutting a finger off when I was younger. Only reason I didn't was cause I hit bone, lol.

So far on my list on procedures done without any kind of anesthesia
Tympanic membrane cut open
Skull drilled and drained
Rotten flesh cut off and bones scraped from infection
Besides burning which I've had only severe 2nd degree burns of, I'm curious as to what form of pain I have yet to experience that doesn't categorize as severe
