9 pages and we got sh.it from those coj kevcai qub and Hmong atheists but defensive attitudes.
Apparently, it takes me to explain the foundation of Shamanism and Hmong atheists.
Hmong atheists have no foundation. They're basically following American popular culture. Right now it's cool to be anti-Christian even though those against Christianity are rooted in a Christian culture. Their morals are based on European Christian teaching.
Americanized Shamanists ---> these people really know sh.it about their religious practices because if they did, they would realize it conflicts with their American views. First of all, Shamanism is all about magic and spells. That's why the Hmong call it "Dab qhua". The term refers to the fact that the Shaman is so skilled and clever that he can use his magic and spells to thwart the spirits. Notice how I said "thwart" and not "defeat"? Basically, that's what a Shaman does. He "diverts" the spirits from causing harm to the human being. This kind of skill and cleverness is so sharp that even the spirits have to revere it, hence "Dab qhua".
LMAO!!! ROLF!!! ...

You must have learned (
been spoon-fed) this
idiocy (sideline observation) from your "husband", who just goes and help eat, drink, "get out of the house -- from you", and commiserate (male bonding) at Hmong shaman ceremonies huh? As for the European-based Christian mumbo-jumbo, that is in fact
EXCLUSIVELY ROOTED in a "meticulously bastardized revision/reinterpretation" of Middle Eastern teachings (morals), culture, and origin -- namely
Judaism, or of the Jewish people ...
As for your rant on "
Hmong Shamanism", it
IS NOT "
Dab Qhua", with magic and spells ...
Hmong Shamanism IS IN FACT specifically called "Yeeb Yaig" (or "Neeb Yeeb Yaig");
NOT "Dab Qhua", for any truly cultured (knowledgeable/well-informed) Hmong -- not you HA'Mung, or wanna-be Hmong (posers), who are nothing more than side-line observers and ranters (hearsay parrots). Additionally, there is/are no "magic and spells" in "Yeeb Yaig". And arguably
there is NO "thwarting" of any kind either. Perhaps you need to rant less (rooted in your sideline observation/hearsay nonsense) and actually get more informed/insight of and about Hmong Shamanism (or shamanism in general) versus being Western-rooted (taught) nearsightednes
s. (Go ask any traditional, or present-day mainstream Hmong shaman if they exercise/practice any form of "magic or spells". In all likelihood, they will just LAFF at your Western-rooted ignorance. Also, the term "Dab Qhua", is a general, practically ALL-ENCOMPASSING term which means/refers to the cultural beliefs, practices, and taboo inherent and innate to Hmong theology, or religion if that helps.
Examp: Hmong Funeral Rites and Weddings are, can be, and have been called/referred to as "Dab Qhua" as well. But more specifically, they are called "Pam Tuag" and "Tshoob Kos" respectively.)
For the ignorant HA'Mung, or posers like Believe_In_Me, the only or possibly closest practitioners of "magic and spells" are Hmong "Kawv Koob". Even then, some "Kawv Koob" are not "magic and spells", though most arguably ARE, as they are believed to conjure up mysticism, demons (ghosts/spirits), and curses etc..
Before any ignorant (Westernized nearsighted) HA'Mung feels endowed to rant about Hmong-anything, please get some formal (education) facts, versus being a nearsighted/narrow-minded idiotic ranter.
