I still sorta think we shouldn’t have killed the planet with pollution and deforestation. I know it’s the sort of outrageous position that gets ExxonMobil’s CEO in a froth, but still. It just seems wrong, somehow.
The planet will be fine. Humans not so much.
Yep, it's not the planet's first mass extinction rodeo. A few hundreds of thousands of years, and it'll be right as rain again. Humanity will very likely just be a distant memory then.
Guess God doesn’t like those people in particular huh.
No no no, just the unauthorized pilgrims
Ra works in mysterious ways.
Or does, and took them home!
How do we get the maga folks to believe they need to make a pilgrimage to the middle of Arizona?
Arizona's not enough they should do the reverse migrant trip to south america through the darién gap
Please don't, they'll have to go through my country and I don't want them anywhere near.
Sorry, you have to take one for the team!
The pilgrimage is going to become like one of those tropes where only one person ever comes back alive and he becomes king.
There can be…only one!!
Where faith and logic fail to see eye to eye, we get such needless tragedy like this.
Faith is incompatible with logic.
You can have faith that your friend won't cheat you, because based upon their previous actions they have proven trustworthy. That is faith backed up by logic.
Why?
I wasn't aware until reading this that 2,400 people died in a stampede in 2015
I would assume their god would have saved them on their holy pilgrimage.
I kinda woulda assumed that with all the infrastructure there they’d be able to get people water, at least.
They have infrastructure, but it's only for people who are on the registered list of 1.8 million. Anyone not on that list is taking a risk that I hope is made clear to them.
One way of taking human sacrifice
This explains the anti-abortion stance of the right. Can't allow abortions because it's more important they grow up to suffer by their god's hands as they make a pilgrimmage to worship that god. As thanks he lets them die suffering and miserable from the decisions of their god's other believers. You know, the ones with all the oil and the heads of the companies that profess to believe and vote for people who will keep this shit going.
When are these guys going to come to their senses and bring in the Chick-fil-A line managers?
The one here had a pregnant lady standing outside in the sun on a 95 degree day.
She must have liked because after I thanked her she said it was her pleasure.
It's what Muhammad would have wanted.
Edit: Amusingly, explaining the search results for "Rule 34 Muhammad" to my 10-year-old daughter was less awkward than I anticipated.
