We almost got banned in Greece!?

[Idomeneas]

although there are not many people in reenactment, and financial reasons play a role cause people that can set such a hobby as priority are not much, most of them are interested when its presented in the right way. Its not reenactment the problem. Its the religious matter that has opposition as Ioannis said. The church cannot accept easily competetors and especially the ones that are thought as neutralised long ago. Dont forget that Greeks are expected by definition to be orthodox. People take it for granted centuries now. But besides any arguements of the church the people that formed this union of ethnic relligion supporters did not present themselves the right way to the public. If you ask me even if i wouldnt pray to Zeus cause simply i dont believe in his existence i would respect someone that would and consider it more logical that have people believing in other religions and sects in Greece. My objection is to the point that if someones believes to a deity which he considers existing and in a religion that is ''alive'' he doesnt have to dress up to attend ceremonies. In that way its like they say that they worship a shadow of the glorious past without any projection of that religious belief in nowdays.

And lets not talk about philosophy tradition and way of life, those can be followed without any relligious ceremony. So if Christians dont dress up for mass as people of 300 AD why Olympian worshipers should? And why the rest should take it serious?
