Wow Tootired2care I am surprised at that number!
Seems like an old 'bug' that we had control of, but
60,000 is a lot!
I was too, there are treatments for it (man figured this out not god), but for many poorer countries this is not an option. What is interesting to me about this virus is that it affects animals much more than humans. If it claims 60,000 humans a year, how many animals does it claim?
It causes tremendous human and animal suffering, and is yet another perfect example of how reality just flat out does not reconcile with the idea of a loving god.
A god that would give us rabies? He/she sounds pretty mean.
Pretty mean indeed, nothing like the loving and just god's portrayed in many religious texts.
