At least 50 people have lost their sight after staring at the sun hoping to see an image of the Virgin Mary, according to reports.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAH AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Bloody BRILLIANT.

Utter tools !!

 

[Gilly]

I fail to see what is brilliant :/

 

[KittensCake]

Owwwwned

 

[HeadlessChicken]

Am I missing something? What's funny about that?

It's quite sad, I agree.

 

[matskiosaurus]

Well, I think it's hilarious. Hopefully that'll teach 'em

He's just a man getting through life the best he can
He's a not a scientist, he programs a computer
Before that he sold cars to pay a student loan now he receives pity
From his family - his friends say how could he
Turn his back on on reason, worshipping
A God finding truth through fear and mind control
He's just a man trying to explain how
He found the word of God could make his life seem less insane
So he shares what he's read, what he understands, it makes
sense to him, it makes perfect sense to him, in fact
He's never seen so clearly
Turned his back on free will - has he lost his mind?
He'd rather kneel down than take charge of his life
And he knows what people think, but it dosen't sway him
He can read the writings on the wall
'Cause he knows how people treat, how they treat each other
A sacrifice to benefit the all
Don't try to judge him, his theological ideas
His hopes may be false but his happiness is real
Don't try to judge him, he's just a man

NOFX - Happy Guy.

The hotelier, who has since moved, had claimed that statues of the Virgin Mary in his house have been crying honey and bleeding oils and perfumes.

So the guy with the Virgin Mary had some bees living in it and had filled it with smellies?

It's sad, not because those people have lost their sight. It is sad because there are people stupid enough to do it in the first place

There is not much you can say without flamebaiting religious people :/

Exactly...lots of people damage their eyes for example while trying to have a look at solar eclipses. Equally stupid, nothing brilliant about it?

Is it because they're religious? Or from India? Or just stupid?

 

[[TW]Fox]

Why do we give religion and religious things so much credence? :/

There's nothing funny about blindness. People should think before posting.

There's nothing funny about blindness. People should think before posting.

People should also possibly think before they STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN AND BLIND THEMSELVES LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST

What was the virgin mary doing in the sun? surely she knows it's hot there.

 

[Gilly]

Why do we give religion and religious things so much credence? :/

I don't, personally

People should also possibly think before they STARE DIRECTLY INTO THE SUN AND BLIND THEMSELVES LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T EXIST

Of course we should, but I pity people that are ill-educated or stupid enough to believe something enough to stare into the sun long enough to blind themselves. I don't find it particularly funny.

 

[Glaucus]

So stupid, it amazes me people don't know the dangers of looking at the sun even if there's an eclipse.

 

[PardonTheWait]

I can't help but find it funny. I know I'm a bad person, but come on... it hurts to look at the sun!

i agree with you

lemmings tbh

 

[semi-pro waster]

Tragedy rather than comedy here. I'd have thought the discomfort of staring into the sun would be enough to put most people off but unfortunately not.

 

[Azagoth]

Idiots, the lot of them!
