The Bugis are Muslim, but their belief is strongly influenced by their ancestral #religion.
One #belief centres around the Monitor lizard. The animal is believed to have a human #soul & to be the twin of children. They are treated with respect.
Bugis also categorize people into 5 genders. Each is needed to keep the universe in balance.
Bissu, the #gender which is neither man nor woman, is the intermediary between humans & #gods.

I fell in love with #BeOS the moment I saw a screenshot of it on a magazine in 1998. It took me by a storm, for some fateful reason. A year later I was running BeNews, the main news site for it, and the year after I met and got married to one of its engineers, my beloved @jbqueru, and moved to the US. At its height in 2000, BeOS had ~100k users. I hope its spiritual descendant, the #openSource#Haiku, makes it larger, and proliferates.
No matter how sacred people claim they are, religious beliefs are subjective and not immune to criticism just like any other belief system or ideology. Criticism of religion is not an attack on individuals, it's a critique of ideas and practices that have societal implications. Religious people shouldn't be offended by criticism of their religion. #faith#prayer#spirituality#divine#belief#soul#sacred#blessings
Sad to hear that Hepcat singer Gregory Lee passed away recently. He certainly had a sweet and clear voice.
Didn't listen to a lot of Hepcat frankly, but I love the tracks "I Can't Wait" and "Riding the Region" that were on the Hellcat Records "Give 'Em The Boot" compilations, which I listened to constantly throughout high school. Nostalgic for me, and otherwise fantastic chill tunes in that classic ska/soul pocket for sure.
