We interviewed Ron Paul yesterday afternoon, and will have that interview posted shortly -- there are a few things said during the interview that we need to check our translations of -- we all speak English fairly fluently, but there are just some things that don't translate as well to the Mongolian mind. In this case, there's a bit of poetry to check on.
So I'll take this opportunity to answer a question that has appeared frequently in your emails. Many of you have asked "How does Genghis celebrate Christmas?" That's a good question -- for those that are unaware, Mongolia was perhaps the most religiously repressed nation on Earth for most of the last century. Don't blame me -- I was quite open to Christianity, and in fact my grandson attempted to establish it in Mongolia, asking the pope for 100 teachers. He didn't send them, but let's get beyond that, shall we?
So today I am allowed to speak of Christianity and Christmas, even while in my country, but Mongolia still suffers badly from the hurts imposed by the Communists and others. (For a view of John Lennon's world with "no religion", click here, or even here.)
I myself struggled between Buddhism and Christianity for much of my life, and now consider myself a "Kobe satellite" Christian. So I look forward to a wonderful Christmas holiday in the United States.
Genghis wishes you a Merry Christmas!
