I can envision a future where religions utilize VR to create an immersive saccharide substitute for in-person participation. Streaming sermons in a virtual church with streamlined donation prompts could replace mass meetings. And a VR version of the Hajj is just around the corner, endorsed by a tech-oriented Imam.

I asked god this morning, he said he has a grudge only against sex, Philistines, Cain and bacon. In a lesser degree he dislikes the Devil, Mormons, Scientologists and Joel Osteen...

Nah, God never holds grudges against anybody or anything.

Beats me

There is no verifiable, falsifiable, evidence, facts or data to even suggest that any god(s) exist.

I think they are canceling prayers because when they don't work a lot of people will lose faith and then the churches will lose a lot of revenues. In the end most religions primary concern is to keep the money coming in.

The Waninabies Islamic sect the controls Mecca will loose $$$billions upon $$$ billion by canceling the Hajj!

Those who go are fleeced and taken advantage of so completely to complete their Islamic once in a lifetime pilgrimage to Mecca to worship a meteor encased in stone temple!!!

That's because praying doesn't work in the real world.

The Saudis have closed or restricted access to most sites. I wonder how old the photo is.
