Reply #4: Sarah Palin was "blessed" by a witch hunter [View All]

I had been reading articles about this type of horrific cruelty prior to Palin's nomination and subsequent revelation of her witch hunter blessing. The fact that her church took an African witch hunter seriously is deeply disturbing. Her beliefs are not at all "mainstream" but they have followers in this country. This issue isn't just some terrible practice in a far away land. There are people who believe in "witchcraft" (and I don't mean peaceful people who are of the Wiccan belief system) right here at home; and who knows how far they would take it?

Abuse of children by those claiming the religious right to do so is becoming more popular than McDonald's cheeseburgers in this world, either that or we are just becoming aware of its popularity (perhaps both). What drives people to enjoy harming the most innocent and helpless members of their society?
