Setsubun

Today February 3 is setsubun more  here where people throw roasted soybeans while saying oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi or demons out luck in.  I don’t do that I just eat the soybeans I bought at the grocery store as a healthy snack but I wonder how many people actually think they can actually get rid of demons by throwing soybeans?  I wonder if anyone has ever taken a poll?  Maybe I should call the Pope and tell his Holiness that we`ve been doing it wrong all this time with the holy water throwing and power of Christ compels you shouting when we ought to have been throwing soybeans and saying oni wa soto.  Yes I am being silly and no I dont have the Pope`s phone number and even if I did have his number I dont think I would have the guts to phone him
