She's scheduled to preach at a church in Houston on March 14th - 25th. Local Atheist groups are thinking about organizing a protest. Given that her behavior is linked to human rights violations I'm going to try to pass the information on to some Unitarians I know. Why should the atheists have all the fun.
But seriously, I'm not one to protest every thing I see but in this case it might do some good. Hellen O will no doubt raise lots of bucks here in the U.S. and, (what she doesn't spend on herself) will go to fund/encourage schnannagans in Africa. Furthermore Africans seem to respond well to embarrassment and shaming. Perhaps publicity and shame might discourage their horrible superstitious behavior.
On another note, I heard she tried to preach in the UK and was harassed everywhere she went. Anyone know about this?

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
