Madurai, August 21: At least 105 children were "buried" alive for "just one minute" in Perayur village, 46 kms from Madurai, on Wednesday to propitiate two female deities even as a minister from Jayalalithaa’s Cabinet watched on.

The children—who were first rendered unconscious—were sunk into makeshift graves, covered completely, kept there for 60 seconds and then pulled out.

Religion has a remarkable ability to make me laugh to the point of nearly pissing myself, and a moment later have me fume in rage. There doesn't seem to be a neutral middle, between the extremes there is bafflement, annoyance, morbid curiosity, etc.

What strange thing, is religion.
