They’ll be meeting the Prophet a little sooner than expected.

I have never been more shocked than when our oncologist told us she actually had had one mother who was in joy - in joy- when her son died of cancer because he would be sitting next to the Lord. Bitch.

I cannot imagine that kind of rationalization. Sounds deranged.

I read more than 900 dead so far. 900? Just this summer?

I see that in Louisiana it is compulsory for schools to display the ten commandments.

I find it ironic that when there is some sort of religious gathering, people die.
Over 1000 at the Hajj above, 116 now at a Hindu gathering to hear a certain preacher and a while back a bus in Africa on it’s way to a service went down a cliff and many killed.
God has a strange sense of humour.

But people with such fervour go straight to heaven. Or so they say.

The same thought struck me,Mick. I guess the trick is to stay away from religious gatherings -- especially in hot countries.

Since religion is largely based on emotionalism, a stampede here or there is hardly surprising. I guess it's the same mass hysteria as that which can happen after a soccer game.

Well yes although a bus going over a cliff doesn’t have much emotion.
You’d think god would take better care of them.
