all of them are the rightfull owner of the fire. this is plain idolatry and who so does idolatry is following notting but satan. and everyone knows where satan's home will be in the day of judgement.
Alanasela, good thing you are God (because only God can judge; judge not lest thee be judged) and what Jesus-like judgments you are making in regards to loving your neighbor. (Saying the bible is God's word is idolatry, by the way.) It's okay, life is about learning and even you can learn to reject such hatred within yourself.
So put that dam idolatrous cross up, and that horrible bloodied sacrificial figure of Michelangelos brother whom you have been duped into believing is your Jesus. The REAL Jesus was AFRICAN and practiced the SAME religion as you see here. Remember, they called him SATAN too! Get a life you hypocritical fool.
Glory be to the children of the SUN, BLESSED children of the river NILE whose skin is brown as the fertile soil of mother EARTH, give thanks to the powers of creation, dance for the VODOUNS, sing songs to the VODOUNS, honour the ANCESTRAL SPIRITS and carry LOVE in your heart, oh beautiful children of PTAH glory be!!!
How rude of her. I thought a lot of what she was saying sounded incorrect and as if she were trivializing the event. I also wondered why she and so many other outsiders I have met (regardless of race) are so obsessed w/ negative and powerful forces. It is a reflection of their souls.
I understand what you are saying about white folks feeling priviledged enough to just go around collecting information about cultures that are not their own as if they are entitled to them, or as if they are some how trivialized or made quaint. This has been true and makes me feel so sad. But there is another side to this. It is also an undeniable compliment to your culture. A recognition of greatness and power. You should be proud that people of other cultures are mystified by your beauty.
I agree...at least she's sheding a postive light to the religion on Vodun. I don't think she mocks the religion at all...it seems as if she has a great interest in the religion.
Btw,voodoo is one of the oldest form of religion that had_still has a hierarchical order on earth_; if not the oldest. I respect voodoo; but I condemn all the wrong-doings that seemingly* become its sole and true identity to the eyes of its white and afro* calumniators. And yet,voodoo is much more than just reckless evil-doings,much much more....
