Kumbaya
The Kumbaya Law: In any conversation where some of the participants hold an opinion to the left of other participants, someone with the more conservative position will compare said person's opinion to the naivete of "singing around a campfire singing Kumbaya"
"Since you are such a Liberal, what would you have us say to those 'peace-loving Palestinians' after three wars in six years? 'Oh, I know that you want to push us all into the sea, but let's sit around the campfire and sing Kumbaya instead.'"

Kumbaya Jerk
The act of standing in a circle with a number of other fellow jerkers, each tenderly stimulating the penis of the gentleman to their right while singing as many verses of kumbaya as possible before ejaculating about three teaspoons of peace and love all over the floor. At this point, it's useful to have a shamwow on hand to clean up.
Overall, this is just a great way to spice up those weekly spiritual retreats that are in danger of becoming "too vanilla" (i.e. spiritually frustrating).
Whilst the left hand is free, feel free to express yourself. Maybe tickle an asshole or two, or perhaps you could fondle someone's scrotum. Don't be shy, really explore yourselves and each other, and don't forget to have fun.
