Mexican drug gangs worship Saint Death (Santa Muerte: death cult)

I saw the pictures you posted after the one I posted. The figures of which I speak, Catrinas, are all female skeletons and they all have the wide brimmed hat and nicely dressed. The ones you posted with the scythe and such seem to be a different animal, for sure.

There were several deities associated with death in the Aztec pantheon. Since Aztec culture was destroyed, this is about what the gangs are into and not a continuation. The type of energy this represents would work for the violent nature of these gangs.

We are in deep, deep trouble and refuse to acknowlede it ...

[SevenofNine]

This religion is basely most on Aztec and Mayan religion that type

[myknowledge]

Paganism in action...once again.

U.S. now have a two-front war against insane religious nuts: Jihads on one front and narco death cult on the other.

And both are cults who worship the same "diety".

It is, and Mexicans often don’t even know that. Some of the people in my church congregation have Santa Muerte tattoos or stickers on their trucks (Mexicans love trucks!), and I don’t think they see any problem.

They just haven’t been taught, and it’s our job, as people who know the Christian Faith, to charitably straighten them out as much as we can.

Hey I live in SO CAL I know I see all the time they don’t realize that

... both are cults who worship the same "diety".

The "sophisticated" pro-abortion enviro-cultists are following the same death-god. They'd hate to admit it, but worshipping Death is worshipping Death, no matter how you dress it up.

Nancy Pelosi would never admit it, but she's a devotee of Santa Muerta as much as any Sinaloa narco is.

[Tax-chick]

Hundreds of years ago, people expected to die any time. We don’t live that way now in the US, but it’s still out there. It’s not the Catholic faith, any more than the French-Caribbean Papa Legba is St. Peter.

Culture and history are ... what they are. And we have to recognize what is out there, while making a distinction between “what some people who call themselves Catholics believe” and “what the Catholic Faith is.”

I think this is what the movie Apocolypto was trying to point out. The meztizos are only a few steps out of the jungle. They are coming to a hometown near you.

Looks like the patron saint of dead gang bangers and homeboys...

According the the left, we should embrace other cultures and not make value judgements.
Mexico is just another turd world country that is barely out of the stone age.
Seal the borders, kill drug smugglers and dealers. Kill the head and the rest is dead.

You just got to stop making sense. You might cause others to think the same way.

Sorry, it was early.....must have been the Copenhagen pouches for breakfast.

“As one Freeper pointed out a few months ago, this isn’t a quaint little old custom, but a belief system which emboldens crimminal behavior.”

It’s been years since our sheriff found the relics of ‘Saint Death’ worship in camps in our national forests. Just think, as more Mexicans come, and more of their cartels take over our cities....soon THIS will be a protected religion in this nation. ONe of the delegates of the FR Squatter support squad will be along soon to tell us what good Catholics ALL Mexicans are.
