On many levels, they are for many people. It is a personal thing. No one religion (or religion at all) is promoted by these events. Spirituality is non-denominationl.

Heck, they are not particularly representative of the rest of the "Neo-Pagans" in the area, for that matter. The 3-4 Wiccans who organized the ritual around the tree are not Burners.

Burning Man AND Transformus are spiritual events and are, in my opinion, evil.

Here are some sources to read:

Wikipedia

Burning Man

Transformus

Transformus Wikipedia Article

Satan’s birthday Party

Worthy News

Weird America (video showing the deviant behavior at Burning Man, and the anti-Capitalist Agenda of the group)

I have over a hundred links like these, but you should get the idea.

I think what is most revealing is the objections your membership raises to being profiled and identified. Such intolerance of anything other than approval.

I have followed several online comments from the Magnolia crowd who were torn between burning this year and staying to protect the tree.

They were also bummed out that they couldn’t take their children this year. They could take their children to the tree, though.

But, you have to admit…the activity is a religious event, and that a true Christian can not participate in them unless they are deceived.

Spirituality is involved, but it's more about art, expression, decommodification, self-reliance, and community. It's about coming together with like-minded people to celebrate life and the above-mentioned. Burners are the most nonjudgmental people you could ever hope to meet, and also the most inspiring. They exist throughout the world and you'd be surprised how many Transformus attendees are neighbors of yours. Transformus is not a Neo-Pagan event, nor is Burning Man.

One of these days, the big one will come, and the party will be over.
