an example how superstitions hold back progress


Yeah. Because you have proof that elves don't exist, don't you?

It's still like that in rural Ireland, some parts of Scotland & even dear olde Englandstan -people never mess with fairy circles or ancient burial mounds (barrows).


That's because the Jocks and Paddies are too busy spending their giro cheques on getting drunk and glassing each other in the face.

I sure am glad the rest of the world moved on past silly superstitions.............










A South African preacher made his congregation eat grass to ‘be closer to God’ before stamping on them.

Under the instruction of Pastor Lesego Daniel of Rabboni Centre Ministries dozens of followers dropped to the floor to eat the grass at his ministry in Garankuwa, north of Pretoria after being told it will ‘bring them closer to God.’

Scroll down for photos…

His controversial methods have drawn criticism from thousands of people although members of his congregation swear by his methods – he is said to have claimed that humans can eat anything to feed their bodies and survive on whatever they choose to eat.

‘Yes, we eat grass and we’re proud of it because it demonstrates that, with God’s power, we can do anything,’ Rosemary Phetha told South Africa’s Times Live.

Photos that follow show dozens of people getting sick in the toilets – an image of the bathrooms show women clutching their stomach, while the men are vomiting in the sink.

The less good folk believe in elves and faeries, the more outlandish religious beliefs they will swallow whether they be in Africa or North America.

According to the Gnome Book, I live in one of a few places in BC where gnomes live. Unfortunately, since arriving in this area in '87, most of their habitat has fallen prey to human and corporate greed. Now the gnomes, elves and fairies face the same extirpation that the Sinixt face.
