The only spirits this group of Mayans see are inside their skulls. These people really need to lay off the coke, and possibly open a science textbook.
[Sarcasm]How dare criticize an indigenous, non-western people (indigenous to the Western Hemisphere, but never mind!) whose culture and religious beliefs are beyond critique by western style science and rationalism! Why, you're probably not even sorry we defeated Japan in World War II!
What would Voltaire, the Jacobins, and Karl Marx think of some white guy defiling the sacred mother soil of a people who can communicate with spirits???
Now you stick to bashing rednecks! Those are the only religious people who aren't supposed to believe in anything beyond the physical realm.
