All countries can not be alike. That’s called globalization. Americans use marijuana as it’s voodou. Cocaine for mind changing. So you have money to purchase these street drugs but condem people who use spirituality to cure their problems. Live and let live.

Its closed minded people like you that cause problems for the world. Just open your mind, not your eyes are ears.

be more specific. open my ears & mind to what. from my study of history,sociology,and psychology, most religions were used for political purposes and control over nations, especially christtianity. most haitians talk about the negative sides of voodoo. almost everything is blame on or cause by voodoo. it’s not helping the country. we need to focus more on technology.

white peoples beliefs are always “right” because look at their lives and look at yours…compare, contrast and examine them both and you’ll see that the white man is helped by mighty powers as well. Voodoo is something be respected just as any belief because any belief that is powered by a large number of people is indeed worthy of respect, consideration and fear.

This is not true. Name one white country who did not own slaves?America is rich,because of 400 years of blacks slavery.The wealth the african slaves provides to the white countries-is still there.wealth does not disappear;Instead,it moves from generation to generation. Haiti is a victim of capitalism and isolation they faced from USA,UK, and Spain sin 1800.Did you know Haiti helped Venezuela become an independent state in return for the revolution leader,Bolivar,to free all the african slaves.

I agree. I might be white, but I fully respect peoples beliefs. These people don’t realize that these believes are no different/more proven than judeo-christian religions.

i disagree that white people beliefs are alwayz “right.” look at a black person who has knowledge of who he really is. when we was taken from Africa the white man worked hard to brake our spirit. they feed us pork ass, and change our religion. but once we get off the they poisons we really shine.

Hmm…when did this become a debate about white people or countries? The point is that voodoo is wrong no matter what! I am a black woman and it is not a part of who we really are! We need to realize this God/Jesus is the answer to all of our problems.

It appears to me young lady that not only are you misinformed, you have no regard for your spiritual lineage as a so-called black person. You are no different to the ‘missionary mentality’ that enslaved our ancestors; to who’m you probably never pay homage, or thank for your blessings…your quite sad really. But in fairness to you i think not unlike many of us who were brainwashed, you have not learned the value of a new paradigm that serves your self instead of some white corporation.

I hear what you’re saying, but I do not believe in spirit religion it’s demonic and I believe it is of the devil. You’re free to have your own opinion, but I am by far brainwashed by “the white people.” I don’t get how people are still so angry over things that happened years ago. I wasn’t even alive back then so in my opinion it hasn’t effected me. I am quite fine with my Christian beliefs it works out fine just for me. Do you practice voodoo aka spirit religion?

im not trying to be rude or anything, but you seem to be quite narrow minded. its fine that you are christian, voodoo has aspects of christianity as a part of it. but dont condem something because its different.

also… all religions teach the same thing
1 dont kill people
2 dont sleep with someone elses wife
3 dont sleep with a relative
4 dont lie
5 dont steal
etc.

The point I possibly didn’t make clear is that; to seek validation spiritually, you must have some degree of spiritual awareness. From the statements you made I can assume that your views were probably indoctrinated into you. You said spirit religions are demonic? Well what is Jesus..not a spirit.

At any rate I think the issue is wether we can look wholeheartedly in the mirrior and love ourselves. Sadly, many of us cant…Hence our fixation with things and people that have nothing to do with us!

Please remember, were it not for the blood of yours and my ancestors, us so called blacks would not even be here. Yes you do have the right to your own opinion, but my analysis says it’s wrong to hold the values and philosophies of someone who has systematically sought to screw you over. And yes I do practice voodoo as well as anything that has within it the means to explore spiritually…by the way Jesus/Lucifer=same being do your homework!

Voodoo is serious demon worship…. hence… demon possession.

You are very decieved in what u think is the truth.

The Father of Jesus the Christ is the one true God…. our creator. There is no such thing as communicating with dead PEOPLE!… those spirits are demons in disguise. The dead are still dead…. to be risen up on judgment day.

It’s no different to Christian superstition and the evil it has spread around the world.
