Ohhhhhhh, GOD! I cant even scream loud enough to get my horror out.
Caustic soda poured over little girls' heads, barbed wire hangings,
nails hammered into the heads of living children, slashings, skull
fractures, children tied and abandoned to animals in the bush, dear
GOD WHAT ARE THEY DOING??? And all because Christian pastors have
turned their anti-traditionalist campaign against CHILDREN and their
greed against the parents. Accuse the child of being a "witch", demand
gazillions from the parents for "deliverance", convince the parent
that all their misery is due to the child, and when the parent can't
pay, unspeakable abominations follow.
I can so easily see this happening in Haiti where my traditionalist
congregation is located, that mob mentality, those ignorant, greedy
"pastors"
Our charity, Vodou Aid, is communicating with those working against
this horrible phenomenon. If possible, I am going to adopt two or
three of those children if I can, I love my peace and privacy and have
never wanted to take in foster children but I am not going to foster
those children, I am going to adopt them and make them my heirs and
surround them with love, love, love. I have mixed feelings about
taking the children out of their country of origin, and if they want
when they get big enough they can go back, but who can look at this
and not act?
THOSE BASTARD PASTORS, THOSE HEARTLESS, HORRIBLE BASTARDS.

and caustic soda over her in a bid to cleanse her of witchcraft.
A GIGANTIC RASPBERRY TO:

That is one of the pastors responsible for the kill-the-children
campaign. Doesn't he look just like he could be in Haiti? The same ill-
fitting white-folks clothes, the same scowling expression, the same
proprietary stance in front of the large concrete building paid for
with missionary money... if you think this couldn't happen in Haiti,
think again.
AND HUGE PRAISE TO:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/observer/gallery/2007/dec/09/witches?picture=331488392

... and another expressing disgust, compassion for ignorance, and
willingness to work with him when and if he changes his behavior and
decides to work to change the mentality of his peer pastors, to:
Pastor Joseph Ita

Akwa Ibom, Nigeria
Peace and love,

Have you seen the fact about Palin asking an African (Kenyan?) pastor for a
blessing on her run... a "pastor" who got his *start* as a witch hunter?
Voting for McCain & Palin for a pagan is like a Jew voting for Hitler.
