1/6/2005: Guatemalan "burning of the devil"
 In Guatemala they engage in this ritual "burning of the devil" -- but I don't trust the official caption's explanation that they are "removing the devil, sending it to heaven", because that's the sort of vague explanation that usually turns out to be wrong. |

Also it seems unlikely that setting the devil on fire would result in a destination of heaven.

The devil lives in hell. This puny fire is probably like a cold shower to him.

It's just another pagan/xtian mutation/fusion, move along.

Every time someone mentions Guatemal I'm reminded of something George Carlin said:
You show me a tropical fruit and I'll show you a cock-sucker from Guatamala.

Thank you. I've only seen that once, but did think it was cute.

If that's the devil in the foreground getting roasted, I wonder whose effigy is getting torched in the background.
