Serious error from a silly gathering

If a group of hippies gather in the North Carolina woods do they make a sound? Well, thanks to twitter and blogging they do. They even caught the attention of The Economist.

About a week ago a group of people who are terribly sad they missed the 60’s gathered to celebrate homosexuality, beer, tattoos, pagan rituals, bad art, and recycling, under the banner of The Wild Goose Festival.

I am not exactly sure why some of them still refer to themselves as Christian but I suppose old habits are hard to break. It even gave Frank Schaeffer another chance to denounce evangelicals and their love affair with that ancient mythical collection of writings some of us call “the Bible.”

Anyway, when you get a chance check out The Economist’s brief but accurate description of the disastrous little camp out in the woods.
