@topbluffa1 when you have witch doctors telling hiv infected men to have sex with infant girls because it will cure them of the disease, or to cut the head off of a young boy so that they (the witch doctor) can be cured from their illness, that is to me devil worship or some evil shit only the devil can inspire.

Even if they think it's not black magic, it's all still witchcraft. Jesus is the the who can heal them, guide them, protect them and get their souls into heaven.

i think they should have chosen a different woman for the commentary- she is well irritating me her voice and speech frequency,

@rockerbaby87 I find it amazing that you are using the Lord's name to critisize other people! Show some and patience, will ya!

@lureyourkidsinvan Thats not a nice thing to say. In life, you should learn to always use helpful not harmful words, the kind which builds & provide what is needed, so that what you say will do good to those who hear it. Much love!

Can we get a narrator who can read. Getting a 5th grader to read your script hurts my ears. Why not get a british dude, like attenborough?
