Is it something to avoid or is it harmless fun? https://prepareforthelamb.wordpress.com/2014/03/20/christian-view-of-the-color-run-holi-festival-putting-the-brakes-on-pagan-christianity/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And folks got burned at a concert from this too somewhere in asia or oceania. For those reasons alone I would say dont do this. However, after reading your post and the link, and having seen on a tv show the color run, it does sound like participating in a false religious thing, the same way doing yoga is participating in it. I personally would avoid it for that reason as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no idolatry involved its like participating in the Spanish Tomato festival. I don't see any harm in it. I myself have participated in Holi runs ... My opinion is if you delve deep into anything there is some pagan origin. I believe even Christmas has pagan origins. When Christmas is more than permitted why not Holi runs as long as there is no idolatry???? http://www.simpletoremember.com/vitals/Christmas_TheRealStory.htm Edited June 12, 2016 by SIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
