There is no person involved, only an idea or ritual.<BR/><BR/>I would bet there are a lot of religious rituals, beliefs and superstitions that you would find not just bizzare, but offensive, repugnant and possibly even evil. Is it wrong to point out that in my opinion, that conclusion applies to Christianity, Judaism and Islam, too?<BR/><BR/>Can you actually rationally provide a defense and logical explanation of the idea that prayer requests placed in a wall are more likely to be answered? <BR/><BR/>Or do you, like me, find it a bit ridiculous and bizzare?Chuck Lunneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16571021500200144216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7286270105066769701.post-84038182389345418912008-12-11T07:46:00.000-06:002008-12-11T07:46:00.000-06:00So all religious rituals are "bizarre"?
