You are SO quick to judge. Burning Man is a very spiritual event, and the burning of the man is symbolic of releasing attachment to worldly possessions and worry. It also is about looking forward; "burning" the past and your trials and moving forward with gained wisdom from these trials, not focused regret. It is so easy to stand on the outside and point fingers. "Those people are going to hell..."
Writing people off, separating yourself from them and other things you don't understand. i can honestly say i have felt more love and openness and acceptance at any "neopagan" gathering than in any baptist church i have ever been in. And believe me, I grew up in the baptist churches. Every time the doors were open. "Oh my, she is wearing pants on Sunday morning. MY family would NEVER..." Did Jesus write articles condemning "pagans", naming and separating them, pointing out their addresses on a map so they can be persecuted and cast out? No, He would have been there, hugging people and feeding them. Showing them kindness and finding their common thread. Would He point out all of their places of gathering? Only on His calendar, so He could attend. Would He publicly announce their burning, fiery fate? These are the questions you must ask yourself before you open your mouth. These are the things you should ask yourself each morning, as someone who is "representing" God. What do you know of any of these things you speak? What have you learned about any of these people you publicly condemn? I have been to many a church I felt had "fallen away". Do I write articles and show maps of their location? Does any one of us... "neo pagans?" Thank you for your input, but I do believe your opinions are very one sided and your research (and concern) is incredibly limited. You truly are saving all good christians from "mingling" with the outsiders. Now look at your wrist. WWJD?

Anon:

Talk about jumping to conclusions!!!

I did not write a single word of judgment about the event, or the belief systems tied to it. I linked to the event website, to wikipedia, and to a truthful article outlining the reasons it lost it's status as a "regional burn" from the parent organization.

I did not quote many of the messages from attendees who said very bad things about the Board of Directors of the event, nor the accounts I read of the man who did a superman, and dove into the fire.

I did link to opposing viewpoints o the activities associated with burns.

I also viewed several dozen photos posted on many forums, and several videos taken at the event, and some of them were not suitable for minors. If you put it on the web, I can find it regardless of password protections.

I did point out the anti-capitalist principal of the group that forbade cash transfers at the event.

All the information I used was publicly available to anyone who knows how to use search engines.

The private forums I browsed to get background information, and as a source for links to webpages of members to get a handle on their lives outside of Transformus.

If you do not want this information available...do not put it on the internet.

I guess I should be glad you haven't seen the video I posted about transformus last week, huh?

And, if you are so worried about judgment, why do you exude negative energy in your own judgments...you are projecting.

Oh, and evil always prefers to grow in secret.

Ignorance is fear. Do not fear what you do not know.
If you don't like it , Don't put your unneeded energy into a happy life other's live .
WORRY ABOUT YOURSELF , how about trying that !!!
Stop wasting your energy trying to belittle or look down at something very spiritual for many thousands even millions of people and freaks .
LOVE is the main goal. Flat out
Love will awaken & empower all.

Touchy now, are we?

Every word I posted in the article is fact, and I linked to the sources.

How is Robert (the guy who dove into the fire) doing?

Was he drunk or high when he jumped into the flames?
Or was he having a spiritual experience?

i don't understand why you would make it seem as if someone pushed him into the fire. yes, we have ALL talked to him. we HAVE asked him how he is doing. we have sent him flowers. we have visited him. he is feeling overwhelmed by the number of concerned people that are reaching out to him. his community is surrounding him and kepping him in their thoughts.

i am not a satan worshiper. i have not seen any satan worshiping going on. THIS, my dear, is a judgment. YOU, my dear, are not stating facts. you are quoting scripture. you are pointing fingers and showing maps. you are labeling events under names that were not previously linked. you are implying that ONE man who was injured at the event was... well, i don't know what you think happened. but i was there. i saw it. he was trying to jump over the fire, stepped on a piece of plywood that tilted and shifted, and fell in, hands first, as he tried to stop himself with his arms. his burns are only 2nd degree, he is very fortunate. he will not do that again, i am sure. HE, my dear, is none of your business unless you want to visit him and change his bandages, bring him some chocolate. like many of the "SATANIC worshipers" you label so freely, have done. this is the last time i will likely ever talk to you, for i have no interest in informing and enlightening those who do not want to know the truth. i am not ashamed of who i am, or who my family is. everyone who attended transformus i consider my family. and if i posted a blog about your family, you would respond. it has nothing to do with "hiding my intentions to grow in evil in the dark" or whatever nonsense you are spouting. do you have any idea how hard it is to throw an event with 12,000 people from all over the country? have you ever done it? a group of 6 humans, keeping most data on the computer, which is also fallible? your numbers don't always add up. did you know that the website crashed and all information was lost? imagine that, people making a mistake. imagine that, websites crashing. must be a conspiracy. that's what we get for dealing with the Devil, i suppose, right? baby, your "facts" are based on other peoples heresay. and i don't care about the information you found. go for it, POST IT. the internet is fair game. just as i know this will be read by SO many people i don't know. who cares. but when you start labeling people satanists, and pointing out all the places they hang out, you are asking for a fight. do you know that if we had corresponded a hundred years ago, and you had called me a satanist, with NO proof whatsoever, i would've been burned to death? but hey, we are free to do what we want now. so you are free to throw labels, and if i wanted to worship the Almond M&M guys, i could.
and i noticed you were quick to defend. not that i was accusing you of posting information about the event. you know that was not the point i was getting across. read my 1st comment again, please.
how silly that you would use the "no cash" thing against us, when the website plainly states that transformus is about gifting and sharing. i laugh to myself that you can find anything wrong with that. that is all i care to say to you.

A little off topic, Guys... I have a question. Last week I saw this site:
[url=http://www.rivalspot.com]Rivalspot.com - Wii tournaments for money[/url]
They say you can play online Madden game tournaments on any console for cash... had anyone tried that before? Looks like a cool idea...
Are there any other sites where you can play sports games for real moneys? I Googled and found only Bringit.com and Worldgaming.com but it looks these guys don't specialize in sport gamez. Any suggestions?
