Thread Name: Attitudes to dancing.
Subject: RE: Attitudes to dancing.
I once questioned a fundamentalist christian as to why he was opposed to dancing. He replied that dancing mimics the sex act and therefore dancing is equivalent to having sex. (Not in my book it isn't!). I then asked why he was opposed to drinking wine, when Christ's first miracle was turning water into wine for the wedding at Cana. He said that it was because today's wine is "chemically produced" and the wine in Christ's time was "natural". In the course of the conversation he also informed me that the Smurfs are demonic. I remained polite but I must admit I was stupefied that he could say all these things with a straight face. I can assure you that he was totally sincere!
