What's the connection to Christianity here? I don't see any religious figure making a witch statement there. Oh that's right, another insinuation attempt, a lame one
Come on, MC, the county is black African dominated and largely lawless. Do you even know witch hunt is a major hobby in African and Eastern cultures? You can spend hours drawing a parallel to the catholic witch hunts of the middle ages. The two are clinically disjoint and dysfunctionally counter-cultural.
Cultural superstition and religious superstition are two different things. Even the secularist will agree here

The connection to Moderator cut: "Christianity" is that around 80% of Haitians profess to be Catholics, with Protestants making up about 16% of the population.

I doubt they believed in witches because of Catholicism or Protestantism. From what I've read of Haitian culture, it has more of a syncretistic semi-Christian and semi-native-superstition kind of thing, and I'm pretty sure the belief in witches was there before Catholicism as well as would persist even if Catholicism were removed from the equation.

Oh, gosh, my bad. That makes it all okay then! No wonder the churches down there don't get involved...it would happen anyway!!
You have to remember, this is a country which is, as Mercury Cougar pointed out, 90% Christian. And the CHristian Bible orders that witches MUST be killed (Exodus 22:18) and since the Bible is the WOrd of God, is Perfect and Infallable, it would be against GODS LAW to allow a witch to live, so what choice do the Christians of Haiti have? I mean it is in the Bible, that most perfect book ever written, so what else is there ? Hopefully you can all detect the sarcasm herein.........Anyone who knows me KNOWS that I do not e like the Bible and I am not bound by it. Pity those who are though.....
Witches exist...They must, because Sara Palin says they do...
