Do you think joss paper burning should be banned?

And incense?

No, it is an important industry for prisons and prisoners.

Banning it would reduce employment opportunities.

Am I a bleeding heart or what? :clown_face: :clown_face:

I’ll go along this analogy when I encounter the Pope out of the street waiving that stuff in my face several times a month. Oh and also when that stuff leaps out in flames to nearly light my clothes on fire as I ride my bike.

Until then . . . sorry no.

Yeah ban that too. Can use essential oils instead , put in Frankincense oil, better than 20 bonfires on the road I live at.

The God Head. Father , son and holy ghost. Yes, I do spend time in that, but I consider that friendly debate.
I was being a bit flippant with my reply in the burning paper money, but yes I’d like to see that phased out , as it is pretty bad for the health of non participants. I’d argue that most church activities these days would not affect anyone much outside of the church. There could be an argument for banning church bells or the call to prayer on noise pollution grounds , but church bells to me sound pretty nice , but heavy smoke from paper nahh get rid off it.

When people ban something, don’t they think of the livelihoods it will hurt? In this case, the prisoners that receive small amounts of money to make them.

Am I the only liberal on this matter here? :clown_face: :cowboy_hat_face:

I think the respiratory physicians seem to get plenty of business anyway, so no immediate need to panic about the jobs.
