This is a interesting observation. Would any of the true Christians here explain this: can we worship, pray and idolize our ancesters and the same time be a christian? For example, pray to Jesus and Confucious (or one of the ancesters of our specific root) for help at the same time when we have a problem? I don't see why we can't. dhsy@vax5.cit.cornell.edu
