    Tragedies like this will grow exponentially. But remember, this is all completely normal. Nothing to see here in relation to environmental heat.

    People were tired after being chased by security forces before Arafat day. They were exhausted," one Arab diplomat told AFP

    What? This doesn’t make any sense!

    But terrible that so many people die, just to live up to a delusion.

        Yes there is that.
        Btw I suspect Mohammed was a western plant, to prevent the Arabs from getting too far ahead scientifically. If that’s the case, it has worked better than anybody could dream of.

      These arguments go for Christianity as well obviously. But I think the theological answer will depend a bit on their interpretation of how omnipotent this God is or if even suffering is part of his ways. And don’t forget that “outside” of our universe there could be one and it’s just a way of destiny. It’s not such a snarky remark.

        It’s really sad that people like you think all atheists are that way considering people like Daniel Radcliffe and Helen Mirren, famed neckebearded fedora and trench coat wearers, are very outspoken atheists.

          It’s interesting that in one post you’re a religious Jew and in another one you’re an atheist.

    Summer started earlier than usual this year. The Saudi government needs to install more shades and outdoor cooling, as well as perhaps reduce the number of pilgrims allowed. 1.83 million at once, not counting those without permits, is a lot at once to take care of.
