Eh, why not sacrifice a couple of goats? I know plenty of Christians
who pray before a flight. Who am I to criticize another man's
religion?


Because by praying, you're trying to effect outcomes of the unknown or
things that you have little control over. It would be like praying for your
engine to fix itself as opposed to having a certified A&P look at it.

So? The Nepalese had a certified A&P fix their plane, too. They are
not Christian Scientists, you know. :-)

Is there anything in the story about the goats that states that the airline
isn't taking other actions?

You are an educated and enlightened, rational thinking person?

KATHMANDU (Reuters) - Officials at Nepal's state-run airline have
sacrificed two goats to appease Akash Bhairab, the Hindu sky god,
following technical problems with one of its Boeing 757 aircraft, the
carrier said Tuesday.

I wonder what the Boeing service manual says about this?



You're ......wait for it ......"kidding", right?

BTW, sacrificing two goats is the accepted procedure for fixing...

.....wait for it.... gyros!

You should be skewered for lambasting a perfectly good goat joke.
