Bunch more Hajis die in a terrible stampede not far from Mecca. Jeez. And some people think the ritual of the wine and the wafer is silly because it is "Just pretend." Methinks christ had a good idea when he demonstrated you can do this fanatical religious stuff anywhere, in the privacy of your own hovel, or out in the fields or, well, anywhere, because it is just SYMBOLIC. I feel for all them superstitious animals who don't LISTEN when police and Officials tall them to FORM A LINE and PROCEED IN AN ORDERLY FASHION toward the site of the holy burial and stoning of the great all sim bad allah aqhkbar allah superstitious heathen thingie. I feel sad there are so many stupid people and even sadder the stupidity is a cultural NORM.
I wonder how many people PUBLICLY go off to worship and agree with everything the priests, prophets, pundits and mullahs tell them and then, go away and think, "What a load of bullshit. I just must go to these gatherings because my employer [government, wife, parents] expect me to. I don't belive it, wish it would stop and wish I could stop it." And yet never utter a peep. never say a word. And then there are the fuckers who proclaim most people belive in angels. Where were people asked these questions and who was watchin over them while they chose and answer from the multiple choice thingies: Which one of the following do you believe a) Earth worms are the solution to world hunger b) It is a very healthy practice to wear the same socks until they rot and fall off c) Spit has no bacteria or virii d) Angels walk among us
