I know, I'm probably going to hell for daring to state this on a public journal forum, but I can't help it.. God will most likely step on my head, and I fully expect that I fully deserve it, but still.. if I don't vomit this thought out here, I'm gonna croak...
A while back, somewhere in the middle east, these people were on a bridge I think it was.. hundreds of them, walking..and someone yelled something that frightened these folks and they started running, stampeding, and ah, if memory serves, somewhere around 300+ of them were killed.
I remember thinking, wow, they don't need armys to shoot at them to kill them off.. just one person shouting "Boo!" and they go and kill themselves...
Well...
Today, I was reading on MSNBC.Com.. here actually.. dang if it didn't happen again..

This time, it didn't take a shout, it seems some of them tripped over some luggage, and this caused a stampede which killed over 400 people.
These people, say the article, were on their way to throw rocks at a few pillars that represented the Devil, so they could be purged of their sins.
Internal Tourette's Hitting Hard:The Devil musta seen them comin' and put a stop to that right fast.
I am. I'm hell bound, for sure, I am.
Pray for me. And while you're at it, give me some rocks!
