[Ziploc Surprise]

Pentacostalism and it's sister doctrine, the prosperity doctrine, is spreading all over Africa. http://www.iheu.org/node/1754

The witch hunts are the worse part of it

Especially since most of those being accused are defenseless children. when they are accused it can lead to torture and murder. Here in Houston we have an African preacher who will be coming here in march to preach and, no doubt, collect donations for her schenanagans in Africa. It's horrible.

Xtianity always thrives where ignorance is highest.

Hopefully Africa won't experience it's own dark ages. Radical Christianity is growing, it's starting to put governments in choke holds, witch hunts are increasing.

How come I have a Monty Python skit going through my head right now?

There's a Rage Against the Machine lyric that goes along the lines of "Their killing off everyone in Africa to make a theme park" just something that really hit me like a ton of bricks as a kid.

And they are killing them off with religion telling people condoms are worse than AIDS.

This kind of thing makes me feel sick. How can Xtians possibly say, after something like this happens, that religion is good for the world?

Anything that limits medical technology and encourages violence at the expense of reason is bad for the world. Mordern fundamentalism is one such thing.

Ugh, I forgot about the condom thing.

More than half the African population south of the Sahara will die in the coming 20 years of HIV/AIDS (directly attributable to the pope's doctrines), starvation, and (civil) wars (incited by the west and China over minerals).
On the bright side: there will finally be more space for the animals! In 30 years that "Africa as a world heritage theme park" concept will be reality.
Although the cheetah, elephant, rhino, lion, wild dog, gorilla, and 128 other big game species will sadly have gone extinct before they got a chance to enjoy their regained Africa...

In Nigeria, Africa's most populous state, it's the mad Islamist dogs that are currently rampaging and killing scores of Xtians during services and funerals. They want a sharia state in the north and all Xtians dead or out. Very simple. So Nigeria is next up for civil war.

I sense a couple more Jihads and Crusades in the coming decades.
