Whenever they have holy pilgrimage's in India, the Sikh or the Hindu's, they always end up stampeding, crushing or drowning each other in huge numbers. They never seem to consider the irony of this though.
What sort of God would allow his own worshipers to trample each other to death on a weekend specifically devoted to him? They travel for hundreds of miles in their bare feet to bathe in holy waters or kiss a wall or something and they either end up drowning each other or collapsing the damn wall on top of themselves. And not one single dude has ever called for a moments silence to consider whether or not this whole God malarky might be bollocks after all.
The essential arithmetic here is that given the number of catastrophes at these pilgrimages, your Gods are either extremely malicious or just useless in which case you don't need to worship them - or, and forgive my blaspheme ..or, they don't exist at all and you're all just asking for trouble when thousands of you pile into a river with a fast flowing current wearing clothing that is totally inappropriate for deep waters. Those dish-dashes when they're full of water must weigh close to half a tonne...you haven't got a chance.
So Hindu's and Sikh's, if you must continue on these annual certain death marches, why not organise them a little better so that maybe only 50 people are kissing the wall at once and maybe wear something that'll give you more buoyancy if it's a water related event?
