look it up.
Yeah it's people that won't research and look up information that tend to stereotype.
That'll be you then.
You are currently experiencing a lucky and very brief window of awareness, sandwiched in between two periods of timeless and utter nothingness. So why not make the most of it, and stop wasting your life away trying to convince other people that there is something else? The reality is obvious.

I'm not convinced that African people are obsessed with witches.
It may be true but it just ticks too many boxes.
Believe me they do and it's horrible (think middle ages) in the past decade or so it's gotten worse. Here's a link to a site that should have plenty of links to the horrors of the African witch situation. I could post a page full of links but that would be a wast of my time just go to the link and tool around.

I have studied the Bible and the theology behind Christianity for many years. I have been to many churches. I have walked the depth and the breadth of the religion and, as a result of this, I have a lot of bullshit to scrape off the bottom of my shoes. ~Ziploc Surprise

I had a bizarre encounter once with a Nigerian woman. I was a Christian then and I was at someones house for a Bible study. The host had to put her dog behind a kiddy gate in the kitchen because the Nigerian woman was afraid of the evil spirits she believed lived in dogs. Well the dog got out and wouldn't you know it that demon possessed dog (I'm being sarcastic here) bounded right up to her wanting hugs and kisses. The woman screamed the dog got a quizzical look on his face as the owner whisked him away. Every time the dog looked at her she screamed. She was hysterical. It was quite a scene.

I'm well aware of african witchcraft, I'm just not sure it's a big problem in Nashville.

thanks for putting it in context. *african witchcraft* is quite broad considering there are arguably 54 countries on the continent.

I once saw a German man walking funny in Boston.
Hitler walked funny.

His confusion between Germans and Austrians, presumably.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
