same.
Worshiping unseen entities and sacrificing souls are not new things.
They are old reincarnated/recollecting practices brainwashed into the
very fabric of every race/culture from one generation to the next
under the umbrella of religions. As they (the souls inside and around
us) make us believe, it is necessary to worship them (souls) and
sacrifice others (humans and animals); in the name of religions, they/
reincarnated souls lead mankind to early deaths.
The practices of worshiping unseen entities (which are demons/souls
pretending to be deities and gods); sacrificing children, adults and
animals; and luring souls to feast on food and blood have been going
on around the world for billions of years-during wartime and peace.
People have been worshiping demons, hiding it and participating in
sacrificing souls by spilling blood during wartime and peace for fame
and fortune and religion and even so-called love. Only to end up like
Nigeria, Haiti, Louisiana, Florida, Mexico, Cuba, England, Ethiopia,
Jerusalem, Asia etc., etc., etc., a world filled with people
preoccupied with worshiping unseen entities; snatching, trading and
sacrificing souls (from children, adults and animals). The world is
turned upside down and waging wars without provocation. People are
wondering where their souls are and "trying to find themselves."
People are dripping their lifeblood on earth and dying far too soon.
The future is no better for our children. Our children are treated
like animals for the slaughter-only for their souls during physical
abuse, sexual abuse, and war.
War is just an excuse to sacrifice souls. Blood (like food) is used to
lure souls in to feast upon so they/souls can perform deviant tasks.
Humans-like animals-are manipulated into giving up their blood by the
reincarnated/recollecting demonic souls inside and around us. Then
those victims' souls are ripped out and traded by deviant souls and/or
humans practicing such abominable acts.
Every race has taken up those nasty rituals of worshiping unseen
entities, sacrificing and snatching souls out of their young, old, and
animals and luring souls to feast on food and blood to enhance their
old reincarnated lives. Its high time people admit they have drained
the lifeblood out of every living thing to the point we are nothing
but dead drones living off the souls of others. Those are abominable
acts passed on by the old reincarnated/recollecting souls inside and
around us, which must cease, if humanity is to survive.
Those old voodoo practices of worshiping unseen entities and trading
souls using blood and food (during war and peace) have been passed
down through every religion through every race for billions of years.
Reincarnated/recollecting delinquent souls inside and around all of us
have passed on and brainwashed those abominable acts into the bodies,
minds, and souls of humanity-especially under the umbrella of modern
religions. Tell me it is not true and I will tell you: You are a liar
brainwashed by the very souls that keep you living an animal's
existence with 98% animal DNA. All religions must be banned, if
humanity is to survive.

snatching and sacrificing souls from Africa to America.

So, I choose to provide a quick review- read critique- of the article below. I will limit the critique to only a few key points so that I may not bore those un-interested with discussions to death.
> >If I am to start from the end, one word which can summarise this article properly is 'lop-sided'. First, the authors' decision of singling out these misguided 'born-again' Christians in the context of the destruction of African culture cannot be justified. The whole article is based on one incident. Only a very brave writer can justify a wholesale criticism of a whole religious community based on what is possibly a single isolated incident. Is the 'new wave born-again' Christians the only Christian or religious group guilty of destroying the African culture? Either the author has a very narrow definition of culture or he has no understanding of the history of missions in Africa.
> >Secondly, the 'pacifist' view of Christ or Christians in an unbalanced view of Christian doctrines. How will the author reconcile this pacifist view with the Jesus of Matthew 21: 12f? 'Jesus entered the temple courts and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the money changers and the benches of those selling doves. "It is written," he said to them, "'My house will be called a house of prayer,'[e] but you are making it 'a den of robbers.' Jesus turned the tables? Not your typical description of a Messiah. Christianity is not synonymous with being passion-less about the present life, nor can it be used to justify murderous acts of those truly deserving the title of 'extremists'.
> >Thirdly, the Bible actually records many incidents where the converts destroyed or burnt their items or objects associated with their former religious systems. The OT has numerous such records, but here is one from NT: Acts19: 18-20: 'Many of those who believed now came and openly confessed what they had done. 19 A number who had practiced sorcery brought their scrolls together and burned them publicly. When they calculated the value of the scrolls, the total came to fifty thousand drachmas.[c] 20 In this way the word of the Lord spread widely and grew in power.' Of course, the burning of these books was voluntary, and was limited to those who had been converted only. The wanton acts of going around and forcibly destroying objects belonging to the unconverted cannot be justified by Scriptures. Thus my use of the word 'misguided' in my description of these 'born-again' Christians.
> >Fourthly, what is this African culture that is worth of preserving? Is it the same culture that made the whole continent defenseless in front of mobs of European adventurers? Is it the same culture that has made Africa a proverb across the human race, an example of what failure looks like? The author needlessly includes multiple definitions of culture (probably to give credence to his arguments by demonstrating that he has researched widely to those unfamiliar with the power of Googling) but we can use one such definition to make a point here. Culture includes 'products'. What are the products that African culture has produced? Moon rockets? A380? Harrier? Quantum Physics? Facebook? iPhone? Cistine Chapel? Nano-technology? Fiber-optics? Neuro-surgery? Probably not. How about the likes of Mugabe and Kibaki? That is more like it!
> >Well, one could question the almost derogatory application of the phrase 'born-again', prefixed by the only-God-knows-what 'new-wave' term invented by the author; one could question why the article had to be that long while the theme was not credibly been advanced by the arguments in it; one could question the possible opportunistic motives of the author by representing himself (or his organisation) as the champion of African culture by cheaply picking on a single defenseless community; or the source of this liberalistic stench I get while reading the article, etc. In short, one could keep on writing, but who has the time?
> >Let me conclude by saying that material objects are usually associated by belief systems or representative of people's values. The toppling down of Saddam's statue, for example, or the removal of references to Stalin and his statues in USSR, were not mere cleaning of undesired concrete monuments. These were symbolic events signifying a shift in values, the end of an era, and possibly a new beginning. When everything is said and done, one may have to thank these 'new wave' 'born-again' fellows for doing Africa a favour! Let us dwell on that thought for a while...

> >>>Too many born-again Christians in Africa, Nigeria in particular, believe that a good Christian must destroy the African culture. They are categorical in their belief that all the elements and artifacts of African culture are idols, and forever evil. They believe that it is not enough to denounce an idol and reject idol worshipping without completely destroying everything related to it. So, they are on rampage, demolishing all the elements of our culture and cultural heritage, which define us as Africans. Their actions are based purely on wrong interpretation of the Holy Bible. They have suddenly discovered the notion of born-again Christianity that has always existed in the Holy Bible, and now, putting it in local Nigerian parlance, it is shacking them like ogogoro. This implies that the new-wave Christians are getting drunk on the concept of born-again Christianity, and they are waging a war against all the traditions that make up the culture of

> >>>Contrary to the views of the new-wave born-again warriors, more liberal Christians, who we refer to as the progressives, insist that reformation, and not destruction, is the answer to the ongoing dispute over supremacy and legitimacy between Christianity and Culture in Nigeria. They insist that religion and Clean Culture can, and must be encouraged to coexist in harmony. They insist that culture is not synonymous with idols, or synonymous with evil. They maintain that repentance and spiritual purity are all in the heart of the Christian, and not in physical demolition of cultural artifacts, nor in the extinction of the entire African traditional system.
> >>>With these opposing views, there are clearly two factions currently in the Nigerian Christendom. One faction is for the Christians who believe that Christianity and culture cannot mix, and the second faction for those who insist that the two can coexist in harmony. It is no exaggeration to say that a battle line has been drawn, quite literally. The two factions do wage physical war in various regions of Nigeria where Christianity thrives, some of which have resulted in great damages to life and property. Churches have been attacked in some cases, in retaliation of the damages that the extremist Christians are doing to the culture of the land. One of the notable conflicts in Igbo land degenerated to setting ablaze, and complete destruction of a local church building in a community known as Nsirimo Village in Umuahia Town, Abia State of Nigeria. Members of the Pentecostal church, going by the name Charismatic Renewal Movement, had gone on rampage

The overzealous born-again Christians decided and succeeded to fell the trees, along with the destruction of the village shrines. In retaliation, irate youths simply marched to the local church on December 1, 2007 and burned it down. The message from the youths was very clear:

Indeed, some of the youths were probably more Christian in behavior than many of the hypocrites among the un-appointed Christian Warriors. What the youths were saying by their action was that the hypocrites were going too far, and must be stopped, even if it meant destroying the church that
