I�ve said several times, both in relation to Romney and Palin, that I don�t much care what a candidate�s religion is. However, I am intrigued by what happens to a person who is charged with witchcraft in Kenya. Maybe it�s just that Obama is from Kenya and that the far right plays around with him being a secret Moslem, but with Palin being blessed by a man who chased a woman out of town by accusing her of witchcraft, I�m curious, here in the beginning years of the 21st Century, what happens to people accused of witchcraft.

Palin once blessed to be free from 'witchcraft'

ANCHORAGE, Alaska - A grainy YouTube video surfaced Wednesday showing Sarah Palin being blessed in her hometown church three years ago by a Kenyan pastor who prayed for protection from "witchcraft" as she prepared to seek higher office.

Several years ago I posted something about being concerned that we are returning to the Middle Ages, what with central governments weakening and �other� units taking primary control of people�s lives, with superstition making a comeback. I didn�t think actual witch hunts were in the cards.

I will give you this much: Yes, some people engage in witchcraft. They are as deluded as the people who think it actually does something.

Yeah telling children about God and who He is is a terrible thing. How pathetic.

Here is video of a sermon delivered in Alaska. Looks like Sarah Palin ought to have her own 'crazy pastor' problem.

On the first night of services, Muthee implored his audience to wage �spiritual warfare� against �the enemy.� As I filmed, a nervous church staffer approached from behind and told me to put my camera away. I acceded to his demand, but as Muthee urged the church to crush �the python spirit� of the unbeliever enemies by stomping on their necks, I pulled out a smaller camera and filmed from a more discreet position. Now, church members were in deep prayer, speaking in tongues and raising their hands. Muthee exclaimed, �We come against the spirit of witchcraft! We come against the python spirits!� Then, a local pastor took the mic from Muthee and added, �We stomp on the heads of the enemy!�

What was so bad about that? He prayed over her in the name of Jesus saying things like we want righteousness in this nation. WOW how awful to want that.

Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil (Isaiah 5:20)

Your 'word of god' is an opinion.

Witches are killed. There are a lot of women who would be alive today in modern Africa if Africans didn't believe in god. People like fiveeagles who do missionary work to africa and support this belief in witches have blood on their hands, as far as I'm concerned.

Fact: I have the most historically accurate writing from the an ancient world and it declares that Christ is God and that Christ rose from the dead. It also declares that God doesn't lie.

You have what for your evidence??

Those who murder are not Christians (1 John 3:15).
Talk about murdering people...tell that to the women of India who were thrilled to find out from Christian missionaries that the God of the Bible doesn't require suttee.

OK run and hide instead of backing up your misguided assertions.
