The Root of All Evil

My friend Nancy posted this link in her gchat profile today. After reading the article and watching the video I am outraged, disgusted, furious and I could go on!

How the HELL do these people live with themselves?!

How can they possibly be so ignorant as to believe a "pastor" who drives an Audi or a Mercedes in the midst of their incredibly poor villages? One opportunistic S.O.B., who can just say on sight that a person's young child is a witch and then turn around and expect the parents to pay exorbitant amounts of money so that the child can be "delivered" from the witchcraft... which, mind you, could take more than one session.

For children whose parents can't afford the price, their best hope is that they're just abandoned but the vast majority are horrifically abused... anything from being burned with boiling water to having a nail hammered into their head - yes, a NAIL!! All because some person dressed in a spiffy suit claiming to be a prophet says that the child is a witch! Idiots! Gullible idiots!!

I can only pray that God rescues those children from that absolute hell... no child deserves to be treated like that... I don't care how bad they may be.
