Indian police have charged 80 people for burying children alive in an ancient Hindu ceremony known as "the festival of pits."

The ceremony, in which children -- some less than a year old -- are buried alive briefly and then dug up, happened on Monday in southern Tamil Nadu state, The Asian Age reported on Thursday.

The children are drugged to make them unconscious and placed in shallow "graves" in temple courtyards.

The pits are covered with leaves and dirt and the children are pulled out after Hindu priests chant a brief prayer -- lasting up to a minute.

Come quickly Lord! Maranatha!

God bless.

P.S. Does this remind anyone else of the "festival" surrounding the golden calf. Ugh... Of course, how can we as a country say anything? We kill babies by the millions and call it free choice.

I read the article and it seemed like they aren't really putting the children in danger because they are only in the shallow graves for a couple of minutes and they are wrapped up so that dirt can't get into their faces... also they are sedated, so they don't know it's happening. also the article said that the children are covered lightly with leaves and some dirt.

that doesn't mean i condon it... i think it's horrible... but, it's not like they are murdering or even hurting the children.

my main thing about it is, that these people really believe that their gods will help them because of this. they really think that their gods exist.

Well, the thing that stands out to me is that they are doing this for thier gods.

Can you imagine grabbing a shovel, digging a hole in the back yard, drugging and putting "Little Johnny" in the hole and burying him up to his neck, and then call up Pastor Ed to come over for some backyard prayers?! What in the world?!

Lord have mercy on us all!

it's not funny, but that did make me laugh!! cause i have often felt like "restraining" my son jonathon in some manner... and then calling the pastor to oust the "demons" that are causing him to not act right.

but i do get your meaning, Ripp... and i feel the same. these "gods" are powerless... but yet they keep doing all this for them. it reminds me of Elijah and all those prophets... they built the altars and those people were cutting themselves and crying and all that for their gods, who were powerless to even cause their sacrifice to burn.

I thought that I heard crying
coming from my door
Was it Rachel weeping for her sons that were no more?

Could it have been the babies
Crying for themselves
Never understanding
That they died for someonelse

The voices heard the weeping and the wailing
History speaks of it on every page
Of innocent and helpless little babies
Offerings to the spirit of the age

Now every age has heard it
This voice that speaks from Hell
Sacrafice your children and for you it will be well
The devil serpent lying
His voice is filled with rage
Behold it is revealed to be
The spirit of the age
(Michael Card)

Its no different here in the US with abortion. Offering our children up to Molack. God forgive our Nation .
