.... that aborigonal ceremonies are silly? It seems that not all (many?) Christians have made it into the 21th century.

In any event, it looks like everyone had a lot of fun.

Filthy, the Rev Robert Tilton has just the thing to say about your link (speaking in tounges, of course! )....

Fun.....Yes! What else is there in life if one can't have fun?
The bigger question is, what was a story like that doing in Reuters?
On a similar point, this question has been on my mind for year:
If not but for politics there could have been any other religion(s) as the the main stream ones in the world today. How is it that people can believe that the myths of what happens to Jesus were any different than the (for example) Greek gods?
I mean, people tend to think of the legends of the Roman and Greek gods as from a primitive time, made up by the people of those cultures. At least that's what I thought, no one take them seriously. Then why, when the christ of the Jews appears after supposedly being dead for days, people today take that as....well 'gospel'. Along with all the other myths in the bible.
Why do people today read the myths of the Greeks as stories but take the bible so seriously and worship it? |

Interesting. I once had a similar conversation with my newborn niece. Although, I believe I used more words that start with the letter 'G'. |

But no doubt, the words "goo-goo and ga-ga" carry infinitely more meaning than Tilton's meaningless gibberish!  |
