"amongst others"

The two most important words of your post. Backwards as many think Thailand is, it has a lot of competition from other countries around the world when it comes to superstition and religion.

This is neither its just laughable ignorance

The concept of marriage doesn't really exist in the bible as far as I know. Plenty of Jewish men had multiple wives for example, especially wealthy and/or powerful people like kings.

I don't think you have read it.  The bible is very 'strong' on marriage... to the point of killing people by stoning them if they commit adultery.  

 

Anyway, this is off topic.

 

Back to the OP..... there are superstitions in every country.  People believe in all sorts of crazy stuff.  Just we don't realise how stupid it is... until we can see it from outside.  Think how many people believe their horoscopes, old wives tales, etc.  

Holy ghost in the confessional was meet me in the sachastry(sic) and I'll tell you a Ghost story.

Except for the barking dogs that carried on barking throughout the night!

Evidently they are barking at the ogre and evil-widow, thus proving that they exist ...

 

QED.

 

The temple dogs were going mad at about 3AM, I wonder if the ogre has moved to northern BKK ????

I'm sure every province has an ogre and evil widow then. Nowhere is immune.

Foreign news take on the same story: Villagers link half a dozen unrelated events in order to relieve the boredom of their otherwise monotonous lives.

Hope you will have room for all your children then... and the money to support them... as according to the book you quotes SEX is a sin unless you are married and its for making babies.. not pleasure.

 

None of my kids are barstewards. Only have 2. Got the snip after the second one.

 

Have had endless hours of pleasure trying to make babies. The Lord loves a trier.
