Back to the fun side of news!

Check out this video

So... Voodoo, right?

In that religion, it is common practice for priests to sacrifice animals as a blood tribute to their heathen gods (Disclaimer: NOT the judeochristian god, so they are clearly wrong), it is also commonplace to get the gods drunk before they ask for something (any man who has ever tried to pick up a woman at a bar knows this logic)...
I could go on for pages about Voodoo and everything it has worth laughing at, but that's not the comedy in this story...

So, imagine you live in Haiti...
No, no, you can't pretend it's the Bahamas instead, this role play actually has a point.
Oh, get your head out of the gutter, you know what I meant by "role play." Moron.
So, let's say you have family and a dog. Your house was destroyed in the recent seismic event. Your dog, for argument's sake let's call him "Sparky," is clearly the reason for this earthquake, and its death would pacify the god of... I don't know... mortgage banking... who decided to cause this earthquake in the first place because you didn't pay the bills.
So the priest demands your dog's blood. Just as they are getting ready to take out your favorite Labradoodle and send him down Mr. Mortgage Banker's gullet, a hatchet cleaves the priest's head in two.
The priest and his buddy priest are fed to the gods instead of Sparky, and your dog lives for another day.

That happened in Haiti. A mob hacked a Voodoo Priest to death during a ritual.

Cute, no?

My only question: What took them so long?

Is there really anyone who doesn't take a look at Voodoo and sprint out of there as quickly as they can?
Now, I know I'll get people saying "they're just different"
No, they're not... "they're just creepy!"
Your desire is to be possessed by spirits from the underworld who may or may not vanquish your enemies and send them to a place worse than hell?
That's very healthy.
Sign me up!
For anyone who doesn't get my point: Voodoo... is not Christianity and is therefore automatically bad. (that will win the republican readers, right?)

***With regards to a previous statement, this blog would like to remind the world to be tolerant of people who are different than them... unless they are just really out there, in which case the only option is to enslave them...... All.***

Alright bye
