So my friend who edits the Fairview Post (waaaaay up north) interviewed a woman who went to Africa on a "charitable" crusade, where they would pray for the locals and then try to convert them to a particularly narrow brand of evangelical Christianity. I'm not actually sure where the charity happened. Africa, as you may have heard, has some problems. She says that they all have one common cause: witchcraft. Oh yes. Lots of witchcraft down in Africa, she says. She went on to say that witchcraft causes AIDS, which is why no Christians have AIDS.

No, you read that right. That's what she said. I believe he left that last bit out of his article, but he's called to complain a couple of times. Me, I'd like to see her numbers, 'cause I'm fairly certain that's not the case.

People like this drive me crazy. People who blame AIDS on witchcraft, or hurricanes on abortion clinics. People who take the teachings of Christ, which are pretty clearly about love, and then use them for hate. To justify their own atrocities.

I don't know. I've been reading a book about a bodyguard defending a doctor who runs a clinic that does abortions, and some of the antagonists are really vile. It's a sore spot just now. Anyway, I'll be off for now, but next time I'll be attacking traditional values. Should be fun.
