Exactly, so it's not Christianity then. Jesus never taught voodoo. So it stands to reason that those that practice voodoo are not followers of Christ.

As I said, one does not exclude the other. Many Brazilians also adhere to African beliefs and Christianity at the same time. They are quite similar actually. That is why slaves were able to hide their African religions behind Christianity so well when the former were still forbidden.
Jesus had a limited horizon, he never went to Africa, so how would he have known anything about African religions? He was a Jew, nothing else.

What's your point exactly ? And are you really that interested in the truth about it ?
I know you'll dispute those numbers because you will of course not like the source but it was estimated at 600,000 people in 2006. It might not make a million by 2010 granted but certainly not a number we should be proud of.
Even at the lowest numbers very conservative estimates and it was "only" about 250, 000 people I am not quite sure what your point is .... That a million lives is what it takes for this complete shambles of an illegal invasion to become somewhat more of an issue ? Is that what it takes for people like you to take notice ? One gets the feeling that Iraqi lives are somewhat less important than Western ones and that a few hundred thousand dead people ( how many maimed, homeless, and having lost everything to top those numbers) in Iraq is equal to about 3000 of ours.
Talk about using a very large hammer to crack a tiny nut. Invading Iraq was not only illegal ( breach of International Laws), it was immoral. That's right IMMORAL.
Invading a sovereign Nation under the guise of WMDs when we knew perfectly well there were none and trying to distract the public away from the real issue of where the real terrorists lay was bloody wrong. And how convenient that our oil lay under their land .... Gee I wonder why we invaded Iraq ?

Voodo is strictly of the devil.

At the time he might have lived in Egypt (I am not saying that he did, but then again, he lived in India, too, even died there ), Egypt was not African anymore in terms of culture, if it ever had been, which I doubt. Egypt had nothing to do with Voodoo.

Typical Semitic monotheist exlusion thingy based on fear of the unknown, open your eyes and grow up

You're absolutely right. And some of those seeds grow into weeds. Yours are unlikely to produce any fragrant blooms or useful nourishment I fear.
Theres no fear in love.
some of my seeds are weeds, hopefully less and less as i learn to plant good seed. I don't fear the truth. We are sinners, and if we deny that, we won't ever put the necessary effort to overcoming our weaknesses.
