One might expect they would curse God but instead they bless him. They are an inspiration to us Americans who are so blessed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-69892041410601530942010-01-27T12:10:35.582-05:002010-01-27T12:10:35.582-05:00I decided to have a little fun--and get some educa...I decided to have a little fun--and get some education--regarding voodoo, the Bois Caïman ceremony (where this whole thing got started,) KJS and TEC <a href="http://www.vulcanhammer.org/2010/01/20/katharine-jefferts-schori-and-the-bois-caiman-ceremony/" rel="nofollow">with this piece</a>.Donhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520020316466378352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7107887.post-89159351378213595142010-01-27T12:09:46.010-05:002010-01-27T12:09:46.010-05:00R.,

The resulting implication is that non-Christian religions provide solace and are therefore legitimized in the minds of the audience.<br /><br />If by conspiracy theories you mean a media conspiracy to try to avoid any appearance of support for Christian doctrine or truths, I tend to agree that there is probably not a true conspiracy in the main stream media's "don't ask/don't tell" approach to Christianity.
