Re: So you admit you're a Christian...you think...theme camp
Well, I read through some of the responses. It's unfortunate, but it seems most people completely separate un-conformed spirituality from Christianity. I have to suppose the original poster doesn't make this assumption or the topic of Christianity at Burning Man wouldn't arise. It's funny how a Buddha is excepted at any such gathering, a cross maybe, but along with the name of Christ ??? No, you gotta get home before bedtime or your box will explode
Don't get me wrong, most people are completely excepting and open-minded, but I can tell when I'm getting the "if you only new freedom" look. I'm trying to safely make my way from the no-law but your own illusion Ville to the know what you know & live it valley. The distinguishing line is thin & pretty
More sanely put, I've gone through a few transitions, I'm more convinced of my faith as a Christian than ever and I'm excited to make my way back to the forest, or the desert in this case. The core principles of unconditional love, non-judgment & the knowledge that you will experience exactly what you believe transcends any faith from Christianity to hippies, catholics, free spirits & atheists. I'd love a camp bold enough to state that the Christian faith does not hide in the city churches & bible groups. I may not make it this year, but I doubt the idea will die by the next. I'll check out the google group. kjj

Christianity? Yawn!
I believe in the Church of Tequila. Tequila fixes almost everything.

I guess bashing xtianity is the last refuge of the bigot.
Radical inclusiveness indeed.
I've always thought that meant trying to stretch yourself to understand, or at least respect; the Other. But it seems to have devolved into an echo chamber for people who agree with you.

A little primer on "organized" and not so organized religion....

Offered as a reminder that Christ-o-holics are really nothing more than a large minority in the overall scheme of things.

Considering that they pioneered the use of "magick" I think even with spellcheck they aren't going to hit the mark.JezebelinHell wrote:I'd make fun of Satanists for not using spellcheck too.

Magick, as spelled with a K was intentionally spelled that way to differentiate Thelema practices from the rest of the shit the world associates with the word "magic".theCryptofishist wrote:Considering that they pioneered the use of "magick" I think even with spellcheck they aren't going to hit the mark.JezebelinHell wrote:I'd make fun of Satanists for not using spellcheck too.

No, I "got it" from spending over 13 years researching the subject and exploring my beliefs. Nice try at the slam, even though it fell flat. BTW, it's spelled "Wikipedia".Simon of the Playa wrote:let me guess, you got that from Wiccapedia?
