“How many people get sick bathing from all the pathogens and pollutants in the Ganges?”

I saw a documentary on that pilgrimage on PBS. Millions of people moving across the land, no bathroom faclities, of course. It was unbelievable. Utter filfth.

Some Christians, Jewish and Muslims also have beliefs that are no different than believing in magic.

I suspect the majority of “believers” in all religions, including Christianity, are actually Agnostics but are loath to acknowledge it. And countless others believe all religion is simply belief in different forms of magic!

“And countless others believe all religion is simply belief in different forms of magic!”

When it comes to some Christians and some Jewish folks, I am not referring so much to core beliefs, as I am beliefs in certain practices, which, without scriptural backing, claim to endow the practitioner with certain “benefits” from God. Some practices are even worngly claimed to contribute to “salvation”, like Catholic “last rites”, or Orthodox Jewish restricive practices around the Sabbath. The “benefits” of many of these practicdes have been solely accrued to the clergy/priesthood, making of their station in life more than scripture suggests it is.

Hindus aren’t as violent, but they’re tribal and have other ways to screw over Westerners and Americans in particular. Remember H1B?

It always amuses me that so many religious-minded people naively believe that what they consider to be divinely inspired has countless different meanings for countless people, most all of whom steadfastly believe their own interpretations are absolutely certified by the Holy Ghost! And the fact that there have been countless translations and many variously worded copies written and printed over the course of centuries seldom causes them any concern at all! I suspect a large number of these people are actually Agnostics who are not really true believers at all!

“I heard once that drinking a cup full of water from the Ganges would kill a westerner. You can literally sit on the banks and watch bodies float by.”

Let’s go down to the river and wave goodbye to Uncle Kumar.

From what I’ve heard about Pakistan, inbreeding has done a real job on their IQ. Unfortunately you can’t come back from the damage of inbreeding. Damage done.

Just trying to shoehorn this in here: In Mark Twain’s story, “Innocents Abroad” he talks about touring the Middle East. He speaks of arriving at the Sea of Galilee. He says, “There was a ferry boat there to take tourists out on the water but the price charged by the Arabs was so exorbitant it is no wonder Christ walked!”

Thanks for the info. I was wondering why such a big celebration was not being held in the ancient sacred city of Viranasi (sp?).

Not to worry, maybe they will pick up on Jesus in their next lifetime.

Pakistanis have other issues that kill their IQ. Inbreeding especially.
