As one commentator puts it, “Haiti is reckoned as being 95% Christian (predominantly Catholic), but according to Catholic missionary John Hoet, Haitians ‘are 100% voodoo.’” Most are nominally Roman Catholic Christians, but most also practice some aspects of Voodoo and incorporate Christian saints into their pagan pantheon of African gods. Haiti ended its official recognition of Roman Catholicism as its state church in 1987.]

And so-called Christians continue to spread bigotry and fear of their fellow man.

Isn’t it odd how it is members of an opposing belief that are so knowledgeable? Most haven’t a clue what VooDou ever was or was formed, they just accept what they see in movies.

I’m still waiting to see a photograph of that “iron pig” statue that is so prominently claimed by all these “in the know” people.

Surely a photograph exists of such a prominent symbol that is readily seen, right?
