The ONLY way for humans to reach God is when someone comes to their senses and realizes that they CANNOT keep Gods law (me included), and not scream and yell at God for making life so hard, but to fall humbly before our Maker and Jesus Christ His son and tell Him that this is impossible and we need His love and His forgiveness. God then reaches down to us. The 10 commandments were given as a thermometer, to show where the heart of man is, not as a way to tell if I should judge you because you don''t know Jesus or if you break one of them. That is not my job. Read the gospel of John. Also, if one can read Genesis 1:1 and accept it, anything else in the Bible becomes a lot more easy to believe. Getting past the idea that everybody is right is hard. Not EVERYBODY is correct in their belief system. One can be very,very, sincere in their belief and be sincerely wrong. God was not mean to these people in India. They blame him because they believed they were good enough for them not to be treated this way by God. - Reply to this comment

You said religion brings the worst out in people no matter which one it is. I have to say you are exactly correct. God never intended us to try to make God happy or appease Him or make Him love us better by what we do or by acting good. Religion brings out the sin in us and makes it more evident because the power to please God only comes by having faith in Him, believing that He is real and is a rewarder of the who diligently seek Him. (Read Romans 1) Religion tries to make man reach up to God, to reach Him in our sinfulness, and give us a set of rules to tell us that God will love us more or take better care of us if we follow those rules. The Isrealites figured this out when they got the 10 Commandments and they failed misiribly at them. That was the whole point of the 10 commandments, not to do them, but to see that we as humans fail and cannot reach God by good works (Galations, new testament). - Reply to this comment
there''''s like no effort to carry the bodies away in those pictures!!? what is everyone just doing standing around and watching? over in the west, people would at least be carrying dead ones away, and not just gazing upon them disinterested. some people just have a very strange view of life. unbelievable.

In India that is something very common. They place the dead bodies of girls and women in a S-E-X-Y style (you may think that I am annoying you guys, but that is true. See the woman in photo number 3). The dead bodies are as if they are inviting for S*X!
People in developing countries are crazy and because their religions don''t allow them to look at women and going to brothels so they don''t miss any moment to stare at women even their dead bodies! In hinduism (India''s main religion), it is forbidden that you
drink alcohol and go to brothels.
How sad it is!!!!! and at least, the CBS news should avoid publishing such photos.- Reply to this comment

I see some of the usual sad display of ignorance and intolerance towards others in these comments. A little travel and understanding of other cultures would help a lot in some cases.
A tragedy.

Your church lacks the fundimental element for such a tragedy. You need people to have a stampede.
