It's a shame that the law enforcement over there didn't make enough of an effort to find the ones who were involved. People make me sick sometimes. I also find it sick that others will use this incident to further their agenda of hate against anyone who doesn't think the same way they do. Sadly some of the posters on here can't pass up a thread without taking a swipe at the other side.

C Street House and it`s secret financers has been promoting the right-wing-fundie thugery in Africa for years. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2010/09/13/100913fa_fact_boyer Palin....gushing over the witch hunter...... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wohKOgLi8OA General reply: Of course no one is going to say they like witch hunters or the death of innocent children............duh! But it is there and is something that should NOT becoming out of America, Anti-homosexual crusades that get people shunned,beat up and or killed are also not likely to be owned up to by our fundies.....or widely read about.

I remember right after 911, there were stories of brown skinned people being killed because someone thought that they were muslims. In one case, they guy was a Sikh. The last time I checked, they have had their own conflicts with Islam and Muslims. Not that all Muslims are terrorists. Im just pointing out ignorance that seems to go with intolerance.

Sarah Palin from "witchcraft" has turned into a political witch hunt, says one Harvard expert who found "nothing unusual" about the blessing. "He was giving an African prayer to an American Christian," said Jacob K. Olupona, a Harvard African studies professor. "His prayer reflects his own background and his own training and his own world view. America may not believe in witchcraft, but witcraft is a reality (in Africa)." Catholic League President Bill Donohue echoed that sentiment, saying witchcraft is a "sad reality" in Kenya that has resulted in scores of deaths. quote: General reply: Of course no one is going to say they like witch hunters or the death of innocent children............duh! But it is there and is something that should NOT becoming out of America, they wouldn't but can ya even say many evangelicals defend the broad cultural practice r whitewash it?

The creep is an African witch hunter...admittedly so. Tantamount to the pogroms in russia and/or the lawless mid-evil times. That Palin is a superstitious kook who`s comments were fairytale doesn`t take away from the fact that she and other fundies are exporting their bigotry and hate to a place that has quite enough already. And you`ll need more than a blog to have credibility here........FYI...you and I can have a blog too......they`re meaningless. http://www.boiseweekly.com/boise/exporting-homophobia-american-far-right-conservative-churches-establish-influence-on-anti-gay-policy-in-africa/Content?oid=1767227 "Exporting Homophobia: American far-right conservative churches establish influence on anti-gay policy in Africa Gay Ugandans face daily fear for their lives" ~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.salon.com/2012/12/07/christian_right_leader_lauds_homophobic_ugandan_dictator/ Christian right leader lauds homophobic Ugandan dictator As the Ugandan Parliament revives its "Kill the Gays" bill, Tony Perkins offers his support for Yoweri Museveni ~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.examiner.com/article/c-street-politics-the-family-sponsors-death-for-homosexuals-uganda "C Street politics: The Family sponsors death for homosexuals in Uganda"

What`s at question is the willful ignorance toward it. "It`s not warm where I live today therefor there couldn`t be global warming" is the that logic.

Despite all the pictures, nobody has been arrested? WTF With witch hunts - if you take the side of one, you are one, and you are next. I think people can be in such fear that they just do not dare intervene. Extremely hard to change.

quote: ORIGINAL: EsotericLady There's all kinds of insanity happening in foreign countries. Torturing, stonings, mutilations, beheadings, all fashion of murders. In many cases it becomes a form of entertainment for people.... like hangings were in the Old West, or gladiators in arenas once were. People not only bring their children along, but food, and drink. Used to be like that in Europe in medieval times, and in US in the 60's.

I'm sure the good Lord weeps in frustration over the actions of his children in his name. No wonder he does not appear to us. Butch

Butch I'm sure if the lord were truly "good" he would have stopped his 'children' doing such things like any decent parent would. And that is pretty much why I don't believe he exists. He will never appear to me anyway coz I don't follow the bible, the teachings or any other 'holy' book.

Free will my friend Butch

EsotericLady -> RE: accused "witch" burned at the stake in 2013 (2/10/2013 1:26:35 PM)
His appearance has nothing to do with the actions of his children whatsoever. Nor is he responsible for how his children act towards one another. Every human being is given something called "free will." It will be how we decided to live our lives that will be judged. quote: ORIGINAL: freedomdwarf1 I'm sure the good Lord weeps in frustration over the actions of his children in his name.
