@LovinLarge no one has but you follow your atheism.

That is different to believing in the woo suggested in the song. See remark below.

The woo is a problem and apparently about to get a lot worse here in the U.S. with barrett being confirmed to the Supreme Court.

I was led to believe that your US education system has been very much influenced for the worse, as mine was, by proselytising god botherers.

@FrayedBear You're thinking of the guys that wear suits, and talk about Jesus on TV.

@Willow_Wisp have a read of the article at "I don't know about an enquiry into Murdoch - one should be made into this guy?". I also read that your country today has just signed some treaty making abortion illegal - that only happens because of religious not secular action.

Like the religious he believes in the unseen.

@FrayedBear No indication of that from the song, and I still like the sound of Christian plain song, even though I do not believe a word of what it says.

And if he does believe, then shamanic beliefs are far less of a threat and menace to the world than theists. It can in fact be part of the route from theism, through paganism, spiritualism, deism, etc. to agnostic that many people take. First step on the ladder.

@Fernapple from YouTube:
"During Sommelo, Ethno Music Festival 2019 in Yushkozero, Russia, Hivshu did a short performance, where he presented the traditional Arctic Inughuit Native Culture. In this video Hivshu sings Qajorannguaq. - Shaman song.

"My old man, Qaaqqutsiaq told me about the young man, Qajorannguaq. He was a child at age of 9-10 when the missionaries arrived. He was orphaned when he was 7-8 years old. He slept among the dogs if he was not invited to the house to sleep. The great-grandmaster shaman Hoqqaq was observing him when he knew he was the coming great shaman. As a child Qajorannguaq was very humble and apologized for being inconvenient for others when anyone told him to go inside to sleep in the house with them. He felt he was only troubling people.
He was a promising great shaman that Hoqqaq trained him to become a shaman. This is his song, his shaman's song. Very humble song just like his person.
He died very young. His helpers took his soul with them to the stars when he was not meant to be on earth if he couldn’t do his call as a Shaman because of the Christians didn’t allow Shamans to do their work.""
Isn't "His helpers took his soul with them to the stars" the same story of JC rising from the grave?

@FrayedBear Interesting story, thank you, that is a lot better than your short comment on the original.

@Fernapple it is what is available to all who listened to the song on YouTube - from the app simply press on the avatar in the top left of the YouTube screenlinked & it will open in YouTube itself, then press the title etc. "Hivshu - Shaman song, Qajorannguaq." for it to fully open & where it can be read.

@FrayedBear No, that is not available on my device. Anyway, a shaman is like a community elder and is highly regarded within his community and similar communities.

Also, if I want to be free to believe what I choose, I must want it for this man also, even if what he chooses to believe is not supported by fact.

@LovinLarge I've reproduced the translation for you.

@FrayedBear And I've presumed your reproduction to be accurate. You're still judging a cultural practice by the standards of another culture, ethnocentrism by definition.

Thank you very much for handling that so well, my brother.

No it simply smacks of atheistic understanding & cynicism. Please read my reply to @Fernapple
