Funny human rituals

[The Valkyrie]

Is polygamy legal in France?

(gov employee: Do you Mohamed take Fatima, Matima, Ratima, Vatima, Latima and the other 6 to be your lawfully wedded wives?)

They can't marry 9 year olds, either.

Saying "bless you" when someone sneezes is a funny human ritual. I say it sometimes to fit in. Maybe I should start an atheist confessional thread.

There is actual theology behind the sneeze blessing.

Genesis 2:7 informs us our immortal souls are conveyed via the breath. A sneeze might disrupt the containment of ones soul in the body and subject it to exposure, however briefly, to the predations of Satan. A quick invocation of God to the rescue till that soul is safely re-inspirated is a sensible precaution in regards to how souls work as explained in the Bible.

I also note, for folks that consider themselves 'believers', this explanation for how souls are physically manifested is a required belief to be right with God. Any misinterpretation of how souls work or are conveyed is denying God's Holy Word in the Bible.

Creating hidden booger vaults. We all know people who have them.

Any type of dancing is the weirdest of all the human rituals imo.

I see it for what it is. A competition for who can act the silliest.

Then again, we just copied some other animal doing it in courtship a million years ago.
