Post Burning Man Festival (L) Nature Boy Florida
Say what?

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3224251/Burning-Man-attendees-watch-festival-s-60ft-effigy-gets-torched-70-000-prepare-mass-exodus-Nevada-desert-civilization.html

I had never heard of this before today.

And based on the fact that people come here for a week to get away from showers and technology - I do not want to go there.

No showers? Who thought of this?

Is it religious or satanic in some way?

Crazy.

One of my best friends, and his wife, goes every year. Amazing miracles happen there - life change, coming to know Jesus and long-term friendships have been born here.

It's basically people that want to throw off restraint for a week before they head back to the office. I'd imagine that a lot of CA companies make sure there aren't any random drug tests for a few weeks afterward. Hon. Dr. in Acts-celeratology

Post Modern Day Hippies... Aaron Scott
It really is all about a temporary return to "hippie-dom," it seems. Freedom to love, do drugs, etc.

It has some wild excesses to it (nudity and probably a lot of other things), but from what I can gather, it is mostly just an adult carnival of sorts.

It'd be a great place for Ole Time Country Preacher to do some outreach. [Insert Acts Pun Here]

You Are Welcome.

It's a 'gates of hell' kind of place. I believe Jesus would go there. I, on the other hand, would never fit in to that culture.

To call it a hippie-fest would be a gross understatement. It is a gathering around some pretty serious social commentary, communicated in art, music and message. It is a gathering around the soul's questions of life.

So the guy that started it is an atheist - yet it is spiritual.

I guess the only thing to gather is that "man" is God at this festival.

And whatever spiritual stuff you get from that is played out during the week.

Perhaps Jesus would attend. Sounds like he would have plenty to teach them. "Sermon on the burning man" would be a great lesson.
