Does religion make people stupid?

[Hume]

Lol...I posted one site. There was site after site talking about the religious beliefs of natives in the US and all of North America.

Do your own research and prove me wrong.

I did already.

I have several friends who are native American. They revere nature but never say anything as stupid as they worship the sun.

So, anecdotal information, but nothing meaningful.

So far, I presented first hand testimony about the ritual. You posted a website produced by someone I do not know. What makes them the authority?

The fact that a few native Americans YOU know don't see the ceremony as religious doesn't undo the reality of how the ceremony originated. It also doesn't undo the long history of natives, across North America, practicing religions that have sun gods.

Again, the Lutheran school probably doesn't want non-Christians, especially those who actively perform Pagan ceremonies.

The family made their choices. The school made its choices.

You keep lying.

The fact that you choose to not educate yourself on the religions of various indigenous groups doesn't mean I'm lying.

I said they do not worship the sun. I am beginning to think you are a troll.

Apart of their religion is the existence of a Sun god and his wife. This family participated in a ceremony based on that Sun god and his wife - Changing Woman.
