Why Christendom Spreads Readily in Africa

In the tv show, when the two Catholic Priests discussed what to do against Halloween, one of these Priests tried to explain why pumpkins are turned into lanterns, but he didn’t get the folktale of Jack O’Lantern together.

The Catholic Santosanti versus Halloween

In the tv show with the two Catholic Priests, which I sometimes watch, was discussed not whether participating in Halloween is acceptable, but what to do against it.

Vegetarians and Confucianism

When I explained on this blog how and why I became a vegetarian, I stated that “I’m meanwhile able to reason with the tenets of any religion why humans should be vegetarians.” This is most difficult to do with Confucianism.
