    So can we actually see some kind of evidence that they sacrifice anything living?

    I can see it now, cowan as peter pan, Bertie as scooby doo and noel dempsey as little red riding hood, running around the pheonix park, sacrificing the deer to the owl god:rolleyes:

    Same could be said about a world leader praying to god.

    You'd be amazed at how acting the opposite to what is expected cab releave stress. They're basically acting like frat boys. You see similar in all walks of life. Many companies go on corporate retreats so that the staff can forget about the office and bond. This seems just like a more childish version.

    Pretty much how regular blokes act when they are out together and away from the family. Just on a less grand scale.

    I'm not calling it evil. :confused:

    I am merely referencing the xenophobia the ct world exhibits to such things.

    The key word here is pretend.

    Once again the only difference between this and supposedly eating the body of christ at mass is that one is culturally accepted while one is not.

    There's no harm being done so what's the problem??

    What's the point having a cremation of care ritual if no harm will/has been done? I don't understand what you mean.

    Why does the cremation of care ritual imply that there is any harm?

    It's a traditional symbolic ritual and it does no harm to anybody (Except the poor effigy). It's not as if it's magic and will bond their souls to satan or anything.

    I feel that it is freaky, it's my opinion. It aint right, presidents and the likes, dressing up as fairies etc... Don't get me wrong shampers, I like the outdoors and the telly tubbies, I just don't want to see the world leaders playing fairy games in the woods.

    The cremation of care ceremony.............
    This "cremation" symbolizes that members are banishing the "dull cares" of conscience.[

    What's the point in banishing you conscience unless you have done or will do something that will effect your conscience? C'mon.

    Like dancing around dressed as a fairy? If they're acting like kids for the week, doing childish rituals then they could start the whole thing off with one that symbolises letting go of their worries. You know, like getting the first round in, in the pub on a friday.

    It's also possible that it's just a stupid name given to a stupid ritual by stupid people and it may not mean anything. It's all guess work, really.

    It almost sounds like you have been caught doing the dirty and are making up excuses for it. Nobody is accusing you. Chill :D
