I thought this was interesting as it relates to Religion in general: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081007/ap_on_re_as/as_nepal_living_goddess
Nepal has named a new, living 3-year old goddess. In order to reach goddess-status, one must pass certain tests, including sleeping in a room with goat and buffalo heads... pretty bizarre huh?  To me, it sounds more like a Sorority/Fraternity initiation type thing, where you must pass a test in order to be considered part of the "group."
My question is, why do so many religions require you to pass a "test" in order to be inducted into the religion? The Mormons, for example, will let you into their church, but not anyone can just step foot into a temple. Also, the Free Masons have different degrees of Freemasonry, and you must complete tasks in order to advance in degree level.
Also, I think there should be a Current Events board
