Time to wash up

Time to wash up for Hindus. Now don't get me wrong, I'm all for religion and such. But if you wash your sins away in this river, you might wind up with something that won't wash off.

Smart people go to Gangotri, the mouth of the river Ganga, it's much cleaner there.

Dead people is just one of the many things that float in that river.

More proof that being free of sin is incompatible with living on this planet. Sin for life!!

For the record, this story has a previous thread here.

Doesn't look like that discussion was any more worthwhile, though :)

I don't know. . . this could very well be another instance of making fun of a non-christian religion on MeFi. That's worth noting.

Hey, I think we're pretty equal opportunity in our making fun of religions. If we're falling a little behind on the making-fun-of-Chrisitianity quota, I'd be happy to start/participate in a new thread. Just let me know.
