Freepers don't believe Haitians can convert to Christianity.

It's that VOO DOO thingy again!

40,000 Haitians profess faith in Christ since Jan. 12 quake

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (BP)--A reported 40,127 Haitians have made professions of faith in Jesus Christ since a major earthquake hit the impoverished nation in January, according to pastors and directors of missions within the Confraternite Missionaire Baptiste d'Haiti (CMBH).

"Haiti is ripe for a spiritual movement from God," said Craig Culbreth, director of the Florida Baptist Convention's partnership missions department, which coordinates the work of the CMBH, upon his Feb. 22 return from Port-au-Prince.

During a Feb. 16-17 citywide holiday observance in Cap Haitien, Haiti's second largest city, Culbreth saw "thousands upon thousands filling the streets where people are seeking God and asking Him to spare them from what happened in Port-au-Prince. For me, it was a New Testament expression of what it looks like when the Spirit of God shows up. I have never seen anything like it."

“Scratch a Christian, find a jujuman”; old West African saying.

I’ll take this revival seriously when I see them publicly reviling and defenestrating their voudon ways and paraphernalia.

You've got it:

Voodoo practitioners attacked at quake memorial
Voodooists gathered in Cite Soleil where thousands of quake survivors live in tents and depend on food aid, AP writer Paisley Dodds reports. Praying and singing, the group was trying to conjure spirits to guide lost souls when a crowd of Evangelicals started shouting. Some threw rocks while others urinated on Voodoo symbols. When police left, the crowd destroyed the altars and Voodoo offerings of food and rum.

Why do Christians let themselves get scammed so easily?

LOL

LOL.. Some questions just beg for a snarky answer..

They have their own commune with god/dess. What makes the xtians think it is all about them?

freerepublic...I am not interested in anything they have to say...however they are dead wrong about Haitians converting to Christianity, many thousands of Hatians have converted. And my bet is they are better Christians than Freepers are...

What is there to convert? Oh yeah, that's right - they might not be using the same "selected and twisted passages from the bible" version of "the bible".

Have the Chick Tracts taught you nothing?

http://www.chick.com/information/religions/catholicism/#hate

and %100 Vodou

These would appear to be the statistics

Roman Catholic 80%, Protestant 16% (Baptist 10%, Pentecostal 4%, Adventist 1%, other 1%), none 1%, other 3%

Now I am sure that a rather large percetage of Hatians still hold onto their African traditions but for the most part Hatians are largely Catholic. So this is really about spreading a particular brand of Christianity - namely the bat shit crazy versions. Fucking fake ass do-gooders. I wish hell WAS real so they could all go there instead of making everyone elses existence pretty much like the pit of damnation.

The voodoo thing is hogwash.

catholic Haitians. Santeria is does have followers - though, anecdotally, it's more Cuban than Haitian. I think it's cool how they take catholic imagery and turn it into something else altogether.

what a freeper would possibly know about Christianity. I DO know they espouse a kind of pseudo-"christianity" of "me first" and "fuck you".

I have four Haitians that work with me and they are devout. They go to bible study every Tuesday. The Voodoo thing is way hyped up.

I read that the Christians are making Haitians renounce their religion before they help them. How would the Christians like it if they had to renounce their faith in order to receive aid?

Half practice voodoo.

If I'm not mistaken, Voodoo is simply a variation of Christianism for Haitians.

nothing but contempt for the entire crock of nonsense. I don't believe in any religion, but I really despise the "christians" arrogance and brainless anti-human belief in magic, especially their disrespect for anything that does not conform to their specific batch of beliefs.
