Re: Religious stampede in Jerusalem !!

See if God was real, he would say "Listen guys, I know you love me and all that, but I want you all to stay safe....so lets not have a festival right now, eh? Just have a wee party with your family at home, and we will do the massive shingdig at another time"

But seriously, why can't people use common sense at a time like this? I'm so sorry that people have died, but c'mon....God won't hate you because you didn't have a festival.

Thing is that as with so much in Judaism tradition becomes more important than religion in the case of Joe Public.

At Christmas in the UK, people were given a little more freedom but not enough to allow huge numbers of deaths, as may have happened if people were given total freedom too soon!

I know that people enjoy religious celebrations & everyone wants to be part of it...but if it was so important somebody should have placed restrictions on how many people could attend. What is the point of gathering to celebrate & then dying or being badly injured because too many people attended & were crushed?

I don't follow any religion but, if I did, I am sure I would not have put my well being at risk just to attend a celebration where such large numbers were likely to attend, especially so soon after fear of a life threatening pandemic had occured

That's probably the difference between Israel and UK Twink ?
There are far more religious fanatics there than here ??
Of both persuasions !!

No it wasn’t self inflicted Donkeyman, it was caused by a tragic accident.

Re: Religious stampede in Jerusalem !!

what struck me is a notable absence of any women in the festivities as well as the funerals.

The covid distancing barriers are being blamed for the crush.

Hi
Accept it, given your totally unaccepting of others.
