You bet it is!

First Amendment:

You have the right to believe whatever you want, the rest of us have the right to be free of your nonsense. It's just annoying when you spread your belief as though it were fact, something none of you are able to demonstrate.

Christian Theme camp not Christian Camp

Post by janegirl » Sat Apr 12, 2008 12:08 am

The problem that people have had with bringing religion to Burning Man in the past seems to be that they have not caught on to the whole theme camp as art installation/performance. I think that if Christians were offering activities at their theme camp such as sacred dance, group singing, and performance by musicians as a form of public worship/witness then they would get a better response.

Christianity is not antithetical to Burning Man, but there are Christians who cannot see that. Virtues such as sharing and hospitality do well at Burning Man. Like it was early Christians and Jesus, community is a very important thing at Burning Man.

There is no reason that Christians with the right attitude could not flourish at Burning Man.
