THIS is the way to Salvation?
"Every 35 days, Muslims from across Indonesia flock to a hilltop Islamic shrine in central Java. They come to find blessings and good fortune — through a ritual that involves adulterous sex.
When they arrive at the shrine, known as Gunung Kemukus, they offer prayers and flowers at a sacred grave. Then, they find a stranger for anonymous sex.
Like tens of thousands of others, Slamat has come to be blessed in a ritual that dates back hundreds of years. The ritual's origin is a legend about a young prince, Pangeran Samodro, who was raised in the court of Demak, a Muslim sultanate on Java’s north coast, and fell in love with his stepmother,"
***(Pause for a moment--for commentary from Paul on the topic--It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as .... that one should have his father's wife. 1 Corinthians 5:1)***
"Nyai Ontrowulan. The two ran off to Gunung Kemukus, where they were discovered by soldiers from Demak and slain. Their bodies are supposedly in a grave at the shrine.
According to some versions of the story, the couple didn't finish having sex before they were discovered, so the ritual sex completes their union. In another version, the ritual helps minimize the shame of their act by offering a more shameful act.
This ritual isn't Islam as most would recognize it. It is a mix of Islam with earlier Hindu, Buddhist and traditional beliefs.....the ritual on Gunung Kemukus is exploding in popularity." PRI
