Wow.

Stanley Kubrick would be proud.

Sounds like “Sin City”.

What kind of drugs were those soldiers on? I can’t imagine any drugs which could cause a person to do something like that.

Multiculturalism dictates that this behavior is just as acceptable as any Western tradition.

At the time, he said, he had magical powers that made him invisible.

So he's a nutjob. Next story...

[brooklyn dave]

Did they taste like chicken gizzards?

[sasafras]

Notice the article is titled “Pastor....”

No liberal bias here - they want to associate the evip perped by this filthy individual to Christianity.

Multiculturism is the downfall of society.

[Just mythoughts]

The world has gone crazy...

[theymakemesick]

Nice of the “reporter” to make sound as if this was just a “pastor” from the church down the street. Almost seems like he wants to give Christians a bad name.

[toddlintown]

Did they come down from the trees to do this?

>>”The blood of the child was still on my hand when Jesus appeared to me and asked me to stop being a slave.”<<

Was that before or after He gave him the Golden Plates?

[Cicero]

Magic and witchcraft are practiced in parts of Africa as aspects of the native, animistic religions.

Africans themselves mostly find these practices hateful. But they are also powerful and fearful, a good way to keep people in line.

I don’t doubt that what he says is true. In the midst of his cruelty and sinfulness Jesus appeared to him and told him to change his ways. And he did.

This kind of transformation has been pretty common in Africa, I believe. There is a spiritual war for the souls of Africans, with native animism, Islam, and various forms of Christianity as the chief players. Christianity is growing rapidly in Africa, and in many ways it resembles the Christianity we read about in the early days of the Church more than it resembles Christianity in the West today.

There was a good article in First Things on the powerful growth of Christianity in the southern hemisphere, here:

http://www.firstthings.com/article.php3?id_article=5388&var_recherche=Southern+Christianity

We had better hope that Christianity wins the battle for souls, because the alternatives are Islamism or the continuation of tribal violence and devilish black magic.

What we see happening in Africa today is similar to what was seen by the Anglo Saxon missionaries among the German barbarians in the first millennium.

Oh, the Liberia thing was fantastically ugly, a simultaneous occurrence of tribal warfare, post-colonial political instability, and international meddling that resulted in that hapless country being victimized by a succession of power-seeking warlords and private armies. It is what many fear may happen in Zimbabwe.

[Jeff Head]

Take all of his testimony...particularly the part about which others participated in these atrocities...then take him out forthwith and summarily execute him. Then round up all those who took part, get their testimony, and do the same.

Pastor: We ate children's hearts in a manner reminiscent of Genghis Khan...

FURIOUS: So, let me get this straight. You have the power to become invisible.

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

RAJA: But... only when no one is looking.

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

FURIOUS: If someone looks at you, you immediately become visible again.

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

RAJA: So you're only invisible... to yourself?

INVISIBLE BOY: No.

OUR HEROES: (hopefully) No?

INVISIBLE BOY: If I look at myseif, I become visible.

RAJA: So you're only invisible, when abuolutely no one is looking at you?

INVISIBLE BOY: Yes.

FURIOUS: So how do you know that you've ever been invisible?

INVISIBLE BOY: I just know.

[aruanan]

I know a whole bunch of Krahn folks. I don’t find this hard to believe.

They could eat rat hearts and modern medicine would grow new ones so there would be a never-ending supply of rat hearts for these magicians.
