I'm sorry, Dara, but you are wrong - there is no violence in Vodou ceremonies. In fact, if a person supposedly possessed by a lwa injures someone else, they can be judged in a court of law just as they would be if they injured someone in an ordinary context. > I also believe that destruction of Voodoo should come and shall come > from within the Haitian hearts.

We Vodouisants don't want to destroy Christianity or Islam, either. Why do you equate "darkness" with negativity? I think you have a race problem. > I have seen more than you. I doubt that you have seen more than I! I've been a Mambo of the Vodou religion since 1990. Alas! What is it that makes some people unable to content themselves with enjoying and promoting their own religion, and instead desire to destroy the religions of other people? It's madness, pure and simple. Peace and love, Bon Mambo Racine Sans Bout Sa Te La Daginen "Se bon ki ra" - Good is rare Haitian Proverb The VODOU Page - http://members.aol.com/racine125/index.html
