Haitians Bury Friend Using Voodoo Burial Customs - Video 1/17/10

Here is video of a CNN Report showing some Haitians burying a friend using Voodoo Customs. The report also shows the reality that many of the dead are being dumped in large pits along with trash and earthquake rubble. These friends wanted to give their friend a more dignified burial.

In the burial ceremony, the wrapped body was placed in the grave and a Catholic prayer was said. Each mourner then threw three handfuls of dirt into the grave to appease the Voodoo Spirit of the Dead.

In Haiti, there is apparently a saying: "Hatians are 80% Catholic, 15% Protestant, and 100% Voodoo." There is a great deal of syncretism in their religion - the combining of multiple religious traditions. . . . (VIDEO)

If this “voodoo” shit was worth a damn, then all those deaders should become zombies and made to clean up the mess.

I guess it’s good they aren’t Muslims cause they would be looking forward to the virgins.

Oh there is no voodoo in Haiti. You will be branded as a hater, heartless or a racist here on FR or elsewhere. I mentioned something about how the Obama news media will manipulate all the images and coverage of Haiti to flood the USA with more Haitians and FR’er called me an AH but used the full word here in the forums.

“...many of the dead are being dumped in large pits along with trash and earthquake rubble.”

At least they weren't pimping a blog.

Well, it's like I've been saying.....had the celebrities and the politicians cared about Haiti that was a third-world-disaster before the earthquake ever happened they could've raised money and helped the people and government before the earthquake and the poor people of Haiti wouldn't be in as bad of a mess as they are.

But this whole episode has only proven that celebrities and politicians are nothing more than egomaniacal opportunistic whores who care only about themselves and how they look right now, celebrities and politicians could really care less about anything unless it makes them look good.

[brent13a]

I forgot to add MSM reporters to my rant: celebrities, politicians, & MSM reporters.
I needed to amend that...

Also, now that celebrities, politicians, & MSM reporters DO care (and some Freepers) then they also get to be holier-than-thou......

Desperate people….looking for help and solace…
Sometimes people revert to the Old Gods when they feel that the New God has failed them….
May God have mercy…

That is just beyond sad to see human beings treated with such disrespect as to be dumped into mass graves with trash. I can understand the need to bury the dead and quickly but to mix the remains of people with garbage is sickening.

You are dust, and to dust you shall return.
