Don't be too hard on Uncle Pat, will you? He's old and frail already, and the arteries in his brain are beginning to fall apart...

It's very strange, isn't it? The voodoo aspect of Haiti is bound to stir some mixed responses from the bible belt.

There are many examples of zombies in modern day Haiti

Quote:
Haitian Penal Code:

Article 249. It shall also be qualified as attempted murder the employment which may be made against any person of substances which, without causing actual death, produce a lethargic coma more or less prolonged. If, after the person had been buried, the act shall be considered murder no matter what result follows.



To make a zombie, a voodoo practitioner makes a potion that consists of mainly the poison of the pufferfish (one of the strongest nerve poisons known to man, the clinical drug norcuron has similar effects and is used during surgery) that is given to the intended victim. This causes severe neurological damage, primarily effecting the left side of the brain (the left side of the brain controls speech, memory and motor skills). The victim suddenly becomes lethargic, then slowly seems to die. In reality, the victim¹s respiration and pulse becomes so slow that it is nearly impossible to detect. The victim retains full awareness as he is taken to the hospital, then perhaps to the morgue and finally as they are buried alive. Then, at the voodoo practitioner¹s leisure does he come to retrieve the victim, now become a slave, as a commodity (at one time it was said that most of the slaves who worked in the sugar cane plantations of Haiti were zombies. One case in 1918 had a voodoo priest named Ti Joseph who ran a gang of laborers for the American Sugar Corporation, who took the money they received and fed the workers only unsalted porridge). A zombie will remain in a robot-like state indefinitely, until he tastes either salt or meat(so much for ³The Night of the Living Dead²). Then the zombie becomes aware of their state, immediately returning to the grave. The reality behind the zombie has only been taken seriously by medical science within the last ten years, since the use of CAT scans of the brain, along with the confessions of voodoo priests, explaining their methods. Previous to that, zombies were considered mental defective by science or explained as stunts to try to confuse scientists.

The primitive methods of making zombies has long been superseded by modern technology. New efforts, somewhat successful, was the installation of the Protestant work ethic in many churches but with television, computer games, the consumer society and membership in either the Republican or Democratic parties the more modern methods have been most successful in the USA.

Pat Robertson is living proof that people don't get what they deserve (he doesn't deserve to be rich and living the easy life)

More blaming the victim topic

As I wrote in another thread, humans like to find causes of events.

What caused Pat Robinson to exist? And why is he spewing such garbage?

Maybe the hardening of arteries. Maybe the Devil himself. Or maybe he is just another fool whose ideas blame the victim. :evil:

I think instead of just B******* about the man, we need to call his sponcers(sp) and tell them that we will no longer buy their products as long they sponcer his show.

And again...I cant spell to save my life cause I cant hear,

Sponsers are Rebeca St James, Regency online university, The book of Eli, Anne Rice (the new angel book).
CBN is the channel that does his show which is "The 700 Club"
They have a statement about how he sent all this money and medicine to Haiti, but you know operation blessing does not have a good track record of actually getting the money to the people that needs it. One person stated in another post that half of the money for some relief effort went his diamond mine.

you can also contact a national civil rights organization to put some presure on his producers.

best wishes,

Jojo

<- Just gave $10 dollars to the Haities.
:x When does an attitude like his not make me mad?

#$% happens, and that's just the way it is! I have seen more super jerks get a well paid life than good, decent people! Does that mean God likes butt holes? I doubt this person would do what some Christians have had to cope with, because it's just easier to talk down to others isn't it. In his possition he has support from other idiots, not group after group of civilians laughing at the holes in the homeless guy's shoes, when he reads his bible in the street!

"You are suffering because you love Satan."
That's just the usual recycled bull

If this earthquake is so benificial for heaven, then the sun aught to blow right now! Who hasn't told a single lie in their whole life? "Oh wait, we all made a sin of some kind one time or other through out our lives." Yeah. Little kids and grieving parents did not diserve that for simply existing.
