You were very much amusing me and then you made, hands down, the most far-fetched Hitler reference I have ever seen posted in an off-topic fashion online and that is saying quite a lot, considering I have been compared to Hitler and I don't even have syphilis.

I know a lot of African people personally. I'm not saying that all people from the continent believe in this bullshit. I'm just saying these kids were saying repugnant things that they've obviously been taught by someone. So, you can drop your floundering, awkward attempts at being clever.

Without more context on this tale, this topic is in danger of further stereotyping African people.
then I made a joke about Hitler.

I think you need to polish off your reading comprehension skills.

I think religion does the best job at stereotyping them. For years they were "slaves", and Yahweh was totally cool with it. Look it up.

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.'

You talk about people as if they all think the same.
The Africa population is over a billion people.
How many of them still believe in ghosts?
They're not perfect.

thanks for putting it in context. *african witchcraft* is quite broad considering there are arguably 54 countries on the continent.
Oh god. Witchcraft is a big problem in many of the 54 countries in Africa just because I mentioned one country does not mean it doesn't happen in other countries. I could post the links but I don't want to. I'm tired and it's a lot of work. In general East African countries usually accuse old women of witchcraft so they can steal their land. West African and central African countries have an odd mix of American Pentecostalism and African superstition. One of the horrible results of which is child abuse. Children as young as two are branded as witches and horrible things done to them. Read the link I posted.
Now, I could back up my statements with a mess of links but I don't really want to spend the time if no one is going to read what I post. For me to get off my ass and do this I'd have to be convinced that I'm not wasting my time. Or you could just quit the speculation and research the shit yourself. It exists, I posted one link to get you started, go ahead. If you convince me I'm not wasting my time I'll help you but I've just had about two weeks of debating on Facebook with a bunch of fucktard fundies and some other people who weren't but were just about as stupid and irrational as you can get and I'm tired of bullshit. A creationist who believes the earth is 4000 years old and is too stupid to understand any link or logic I post (and his mastery of the English language leaves something to be desired), anti-vaccers who wouldn't know a scientific paper if it came and squashed down on their face, and the dreaded anti gay marriage assholes. And debate? Do these assholes know how to debate? Pffft! Ugh! *sorry for the vent, don't take it too personally*
And finally let me just steal this thread for one second and say "Oh god I'm so sick of the bullshit.... someone please speak rationally to me please....please...p..p"
Of course I suppose it's all my fault for not resisting the urge to respond to their bullshit when they post it. Why do I do these things?
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
