Kind of been wondering about this, the Burning Man event seems to attract a lot of leftists, but attracts my interest as it seems to also attract artists and artistic expression, maybe a kind of environmentalism, I don't know. Their main celebration seems to have been a repackaging of the pagan event of burning a wicker man, they burn a big effigy to end the event.
It's kind of ambiguous about being pagan or nonreligious or whatever but I think there are probably plenty of objectionable things that take place that "conservatives" or "Christians" might want to steer clear of. But, I think possibly there are good things that might be adapted in to some alternative new event or incorporated in to existing events.
Any idea about "Christian conservative" alternatives to Burning Man?
Burning Man is no different than any hippie-fest from back in the day. Just add the designer drugs we have now and weed dozens of times more potent than Nam era pot. And add numerous human trafficking risks. My cousin has gone to Burning Man every year for as long as it has existed. I never wanted to go. I quit drinking and smoking and I can't imagine enjoying a festival where everyone else is wasted and I'm stuck on the straight and narrow path. Even though it was my choice to stop, I miss my crutches a lot sometimes. Jesus gives me my strength.
So true. Its nothing more than "get off your face, catch some STD's and tell yourself you are free"
They have their own airport ffs, its a very corporate affair
