I have a cousin living down in deepest, darkest West Virginia. We don't see each other that frequently, but she visited here last summer.
I asked about her daughter who is now college age. She told me that Kelly had gone to Africa on a church sponsored missionary expedition. I asked if she went there to build schools or hospitals or roads or maybe dig some wells for fresh, clean drinking water.
"No," she began "she went there because in this particular part of Africa, witchcraft was more blatant than in any other part of the world."
"Witchcraft?" I asked.
"Yes!" she replied "She and her other missionaries set up a tent where those afflicted by witchcraft could come and be exorcised and cleaned of the unpardonable sin."
Of all the problems Africa has, they decided to conquer witches first. The hyper-Christian spirit knows no bounds, or priorities.
Here's what they do to witches in africa......most backward continent in the world...
We walked on the moon 46 years ago and they're still burning "witches" in the 21st century...
Witch burning..now why is that so damn familiar??
Oh yeah:
Belief in, and persecution of, witches is universal and dates back millennia. Often all that is needed is a
belief in magic, though sometimes witchcraft is prohibited by organized religion. The Christian bible, for example, explicitly calls for accused witches to be put to death per Exodus 22:18, which states, “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live” (KJV). The passage seems crystal clear in its murderous command to kill witches — but there’s a problem.

In his book “The Witch-Hunt in Early Modern Europe,” professor Brian Levack of the University of Texas at Austin notes that “the original Hebrew word translated as ‘witch’ in this passage meant a poisoner or ‘someone who works in darkness and mutters things’ rather than a sorcerer who makes a pact with the Devil.” This misunderstood translation indirectly led to the persecutions, and in some cases deaths, of hundreds of thousands of people around the world because “the word was translated as ‘witch’ in all Western European languages and used by preachers and judges to sanction an uncompromising campaign against witches” in Europe between 1450 and 1750.
