WHY CAN'T THEY HAVE A COMMUNAL FURNACE???

Because HDB got minority occupancy rules. You don't want to be disrespectful to other religions and faiths by building a big communal furnace in the middle of the HDB estate!

Speaking from a Christian's point of view, why do people burn incense. I can understand if people make offerings of chicken and fruits, because people eat that when alive. But they don't smoke incense when alive so why offer it to the dead?

What ift it makes them "incensed"? Then how can offerings be appeasing the spirits? :p

Since you ask so nicely. The burning of incense is meant to inform that there is an offering. Sort of like a signal if you like.

They do have a communal furnace just that some people are still too stubborn due to the believe that the offerings will get mixed up and their loved ones will not be able to recieve the goodies.

Simple. First there must be sufficient $$ in the account otherwise the cheque will be dishonoured. After that you get angry spirits after you. Thus not very advisable.

Why are people alive afraid of dead ghosts and also afraid of dying themselves. If dead ghosts are so powerful, go and die and become powerful, isn't it? Why should the alive appease the dead? Being alive is being more powerful than being dead, that's commonsense. The dead are envying those alive and wishing they weren't dead, if they still could think. It's ironic sadness that many of those alive can't think.

Anyway, look out for Aug. 24 (Tue.) also. Fire! Fire! Help! Help!...again!

An old fart will probably be returning with them this yr and will rule over them as their new emperor for all eternity!

If you seen old fart this month you are consider lucky. That is a live person, not dead yet. After he died you tell people you saw him nobody will beleives you.

So be quick to catch a glipse of him now during this month.

Why do Christains have holy communion, assumed drinking the blood of Christ? Of course no real blood involve but use 'wine' or Ribenna Vit C water to represent blood. So does that answer why Chinese use incense to represent something?

Christians are worst than Chinese when comes to food. Always have to pray and thank God first before eating the food. So is praying and thanking God for the food before you patake it the same as Chinese offering to their Gods?

Why you asking these questions when you cannot see that Christains also did the same thing.

You missed the point. Help! Help! Fire! Fire! Smog and ashes all around! Nothing to do what you believe in but everything to do with what you practise that impose harm and inconvenience on others who don't share your belief and practice.
