    Do you think that beliefs should not be open to criticism and ridicule?

    My point, cynicist (scepticist, RETARD)


    You apparently didn't get my point. I was comparing the syncretism of some African nations and Black Caribbean nations to what's happening with Christians adopting pagan traditions... I bet you didn't even know about Catholicism having come from pagan traditions mixed with Christian doctrine, huh? Summarily, Catholicism is usually blended with pagan traditions amongst Africans and Black Caribbeans (but apparently you don't understand that!). On yoga, I was just alluding to this New Age Christian/Wiccan/Eastern Philosophy movement in America (as well as the UK). Am I saying yoga is from the Devil, no? I'm not some yelling envangelical, but do you know the exact origin of yoga?, no you don't. Do you know who Krishna, Brahma, Vishnu, and Buddha are? You probably don't... So shut the hell up...

    You have to remember, Pat Robertson's an Evangelical protestant. They often think of Catholicism as "satanic". Especially since Catholicism as it's practised in Haiti is usually a syncretic, heterodox form.

    Now, obviously, that kind of bigotry doesn't make sense. But Evangelicals rarely do.

    Danny Glover is the left wing Pat Robertson, blaming the earthquake on us not doing more at Copenhagen:

    Says Glover: “When we see what we did at the climate summit in Copenhagen, this is the response, this is what happens, you know what I’m sayin’?” His obscene opinion would be bigger news if Glover had – in the manner of others – idiotically blamed a less-fashionable deity.


    What a moron.

    Being a protestant myself, we don't think of Catholicism as influenced by Satan or diabolical in any way, we just hold true to the facts, as it's known that during the High Middle Ages pagan elements and mysticism was adopted into the Catholic religion. (Some even call it white magic). For one, you can look at the similarities between paganism and Catholicism in the aspect of a great deal of emphasis on relics, symbols and things of the sort and the extensive use of sacred objects. We don't think Catholics aren't saved; they believe in Jesus Christ and the Resurrection of the Dead. We just look to facts to affirm that they adopted some things but over time various councils have done away with what is "obviously" pagan although now some crinkles of mysticism coming into the Church still remain

    You have to admit that it explains a lot. It's all so clear now...that Robertson is a jackass, I mean.

    No, you apparently did not understand that Vodou is not pagan. Do you even know what Vodou actually is? What their main central belief is? That there are different branches of Vodou? That the Vodou practiced in Haiti is different to that practiced in New Orleans, for example? Or in West or Central Africa?

    Catholicism, just like your own religion, all encompass pagan elements.

    So suck it up sunshine.

    Hatian Vodou, for all intents and purposes, fits quite neatly into Christianity, not just Catholicism. Simply because one of the central beliefs of all Vodou is the belief in one God. Here is a basic introductory course in the religion. It was the most basic one that I could find for you. It gives you the bare bones of what it actually is.

    Yes I do. Which just makes your original statement in this thread all the more ridiculous. Which seems to get worse with your second post:

    And where do you think your own religion stemmed from?

    He's just as big of a nut job as Robertson is.

    Are comments like that classified as "hate speech"?

    Still can't answer the question?

    If you believe what I said constitute "hate speech", then I would suggest you report it as such.

    I think we should be allowed to criticize, ridicule, speak hatefully to/about, ridicule the person's skin color, ridicule the person's clothing, religion, girl friend's ugliness, ......

    In short, I think nothing should be protected from any kind of verbal abuse regardless of color, race, national origin, religion, ....or anything else. We should also be free to yell "Fire!" in a crowded theatre, as well as yell "Bomb!" in a crowded subway.

    I can answer it, Bells, but I'm not going to do for "fear" of being ridiculed by you.
