JINJA, Uganda - Caroline Aya was playing in front of her house in January when a neighbor put a cloth over her mouth and fled with her. A couple of days later, the 8-year-old's body was found a short walk away — with her tongue cut out. Police believe she was offered up as a human sacrifice in a ritual killing, thought to bring wealth or health. "If it is a sickness you try to treat it, and if they die that is one thing," said Caroline's father, Balluonzima Christ. "But when you slaughter a person like a goat, that is not easy." The practice of human sacrifice is on the rise in Uganda, as measured by ritual killings where body parts, often facial features or genitals, are cut off for use in ceremonies.

I know that Christians are working hard in Uganda to bring peace and joy to that country. We have had several missionaries at our church from the area, it is spiritual warfare there. The Christians have succeeding in getting a handle on the AIDS epidemic there that was so destructive, and is still ravaging neighboring countries.
As a purely spiritual observation, I can say when ever Christianity starts to grow opposing spiritual forces get ever more deceptive and angry. I have no doubt the black magic types in that country are working hard to destroy any community spirit, any peace and joy.
She made it to eight years old over there. In Obama’s new land she would be fortunate to be born.
This is a mistaken notion.
It is a practice that the Hebrews were sent to Canaan to wipe out. It was beneath even the Egyptians (after the 1st Dynasty).
I would not want to be behind that person going through airport security.
The same ritual is practiced in many places.
Its called Baal worship (Ashtoroth, Moloch are same).
Its done in Ireland, Scotland, England, France, United States, spain, Italy, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and a bunch of other places. This is the ancient worship that YHWH condemned Israel, and her surrounding neighbors for.
And how does he wash his face and/or hair?
Cheers!
ugh
Yes I did. Odd.
Why is there so little respect for those things here?
Every time I see an article like this about Africa, I think of the remark a black politician (name-CRS) made after Obama was elected. Something to the effect that it was up to the black man to fix all the problems white people have made. Yeah, Africa is a shining example of the progress the blacks have there since most of the white devils have been run out. Tribal genocide, raping and killing little girls and women, using children for soldiers, and now this.
And now you know why some tribal Africans have such unique and bizarre body modifications. Some may have been for decorations (tattoos, scarring, etc) but those lip chips and the massive ear lobe stretching, etc...were to make them look unattractive to enemies.
LOL!
What’s with the “all cultures are equal” crap? Some humans are depraved.
Umm, sent to wrong poster....
An irony none the less....
I understand that “Nigel” is a “SHE”!
