Nigerian Witches

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

Well, apparently there are a bunch of evil witches in Nigeria that keep the population from having a wonderful life. Yes, according to the evangelical Christian pastors in Nigeria, evil witches are what is making their lives horrible. Who are these evil witches keeping them down? Their children… yes their children are the evil witches. How these children learned witch craft is unknown… unless they are speaking directly to Satan! Oh wait, witchcraft has nothing to do with Satan or anything Christian… maybe they just learned it on their own? Who knows, but they are there, they are evil and they are the cause for the suffering of the people there. Let’s be clear, it’s not the shitty water, lack of food, AIDS, poverty, economy or the people’s fault; it’s the evil little witches… well according to the evangelical Christian leaders.

This is yet another example of how awesome and great Christianity is. It teaches love and understanding and forgiveness. Yes, the love these Nigerians show their evil witch kids is shown by driving nails into the young witch’s heads, splashing acid on their faces, burying them alive, banishing them to fend for themselves, sawing their heads in half and of course beating the love of Jesus into them. So not only is Christianity spreading the great wisdom that condoms spread AIDS, it also teaches them to abuse their kids for Jesus. All this violence, is from the love of Jesus and God.

One thing I can’t understand is why I have to go to another country for world news instead of finding world news as awesome as this in America. I can only speculate so this is probably wrong: America knows this amazing act is saving the lives of these Nigerians from evil witches and the bleeding heart, human rights, anti-child abuse, anti-child murder, fat, lazy Americans would just want to stop it. Forget those children, forget that the only learning the Nigerians get is from Religious people and forget that this is an atrocity committed by devout followers of Christ. Just let it happen, just let the Lord work his loving and mysterious ways by having parents kill their kids out of fear and desperation.
