So.
One thing you don't hear much about is how wrong it can go when cultures clash. When Christianity was introduced into certain countries in Africa it mixed with the local traditions of witchcraft and now there is an epidemic on adults punishing children for being witches.
Witchcraft children of Africa
What really pisses me off is Christians who waste time campaigning against fictional books like Harry Potter when in reality there are appalling atrocities being carried out on children accused of being witches, in the name of religion.
These butt-crusts would rather campaign against works of fiction than get off their loathsome pew-splintered asses, stop spewing their purulent bile and make a change that is going to matter in the real world.
People like that are nothing but oxygen thieves.

I see not a shred of evidence to suggest that there is one ... etc., etc. It’s easier to say that I am a radical atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously." - Douglas Adams (and I echo the sentiment)
