RE: This vodoo sh..

has to go for Haitians to be free

Bizzare, I am against all religion--including Voodoo.

I believe in God, but I think that his name has been used by various religions to promote their personal agendas.

In human history, that usually means domination and control of other people, their land, and their culture.

As for the power of Voodoo itself, lets get real; as my father used to say, if Voodoo was all that powerful poor Haitians would be rich. It is true that some Haitians have learned how to use plants and herbs to create some scary potions ans powders, but that has nothing to do with the religion itself.

If the people using these nasty combination to do evil things did not do them under the name of Voodoo they would do them under another name. Anyway, the reason that Voodoo is so prominent now in Haiti has more to do with the lack of resources in that country.

With so few resources competition for every little scrap brings out the worst in the population.

Another reason why people turn to these types of tactics is when the national institutions don't provide the necessary tools for justice or mediation, causing people to resort to using these tactics for retribution.

Hence, the fact is, it is not Voodoo or any other religion that makes Haiti better or worst than any of the other countries in the world where these traditions exist; it is the economic and educational possibilities.

Bizarre, You said "You are always saying things that are irrelevant and distorted to the debate because you are protecting yourself interest and not Haiti’s interest." I laughed so hard that almost wet my pants. What self-interest that I am pro > >

Yes Mark taht was a good point. We need to have political and economical classes for the politicians. Politics must no longer be an art of stealing, "rempli poche" but a tool for the better ment of the people. That is what I teach people from the > >

Tiba, Here is what I think. I am not here to defend sins of any kind because I am a man of faith and morals. Sure poverty has many sources and roots but for Haiti poverty’s root is voodoo by leadership of choice. We can punish many sins by la > >

Bizarre, the business of politics is a dirty game. I am not sure if a Godly man would have the stomach to withstand the day to day corruption of the Haitian government. The kind of leadership Haiti needs would require someone to come in and start mak > >

Mark, People often go back in forth in religion as a matter of changing their mind for whatever the reason but a government system cannot change that easy or as often. As a kid I seen a guy name Bachon left voodoo for Christianity after committin > >

Bizzare, I think you just changed gear on me a little bit here. From the beginning to this point the debate you and others have brought up was about "voodoo worshiping" by the people in Haiti. You're now talking about the promotion of Haiti to t > >

Linda, Happy to hear you believe in God and not the devils. I agree voodoo is not powerful but it can be harmful to the weak. And yes Haiti needs more jobs to keep people busy and away from having to much time on their hands to harms others. > >
