#4011: US Military, a racist, and Haiti : Grey replies to Ruckle
From:Racine125@aol.com
<< Of course... I would like to ask a Socratic question, as a Christian
"theologian"
(studious layman) to a Vodouisant: Is complex theology better? >>
Not necessarily. It is not necessarily better or worse, it is what it is.
<<The #1 critique of polytheism and syncretism by traditional Christians is
precisely the difficulty of arriving at a consistent truth upon which to base
a lasting, loving relationship. Does Vodou offer strength in the face of
adversity?>>
After the hundreds of years of Haitian history, through which Haitians have
been inspired and supported by the Vodou faith, you ask this question? Did
you think it was a Christian ceremony there at Bois Caiman? Do you think it
is the Christian church which keeps rural majority class Haitians bonded in
communities?
<< I see this quality in Haitians, but not in their religious beliefs, which
puzzles me.

It puzzles me that you don't see it, James, honestly. Come on to our house!
