Totally off the hook! er, scythe I mean.
The Mexicans like to have a good freaky time, thats all I can say! Like a cosmically induced sense of humor. I mean, when Jesus can't help, we have La Santa Muerte, (like grandma, but prettier) :D
The frame the player decided to give me a preview of gave me a good laugh....
"If people say that this is satanic, and that I'm a devil worshipper" while she's surrounded by images of the Grim Reaper (Osiris?)... No, it's not satanic, it is pretty freaking dark and evil though. From what I have experienced, the Catholic population in Latino areas either stays true to their Catholicism (a cult) or joins another cult.. Can't they just be themselves without all the silly pretense?
I'd like to know exactly where all their energies/intentions are being transmitted to...What's bad is good...What's good is bad...
Some people pray to a chubby, smiling guy and others pray to a skeleton "godmother" You know, like the one at home, but this one's bigger..prettier...
There was some promise in that little boy though. He was sticking to reality while his Dad was off somewhere else (it has no eyes dad...his way of telling his dad: wake up!)
Death as never been something "evil" in Mexico. You should know about Día de Muertos, a sincretic festival that unites old prehispanic religion with catholicism, as happen now with la Santa Muerte. Mexicans have never been monoteistic as a society. Mexican catholicism is now a postmodern collage with roots in the ancient aztec mythos.
And the popular creation of "saints" was common also in the West, in medieval europe. Many of the catholic saints were in fact inventions from the people. I highly recommend the reading of The witch, an amazing work about medieval religion by the french historian Jules Michelet.
I'm aware of the way they look at it. I just see a lot of possibilities for how it can be used to excuse killing and needless suffering and death.
Usually when I see someone holding a large bladed object, something tells me "don't go hug that guy". That is all...
Hi Chris,
This is so strange. And earlier tonight Bill O'Reilly hipped listeners to the fact that ABC was "seriously" debating the existence of the devil. I checked the ABC news website and sure enough the debate raged on March 26's Nightline.
