Thank you 63. You are so wise and know ALL ABOUT EVERY THING. You are just amazing. Tell me one thing please, Why are you not the leader of at least the United States? What is in that chest where a heart is supposed to be?

There is no doctrine of mercy or compassion because voodoo doesn't have those concepts.

However, many of the non-religious aspects of Voodoo which people often criticize really seem to be more the result of Voodoo's overwhelming fatalism. The view is that to an astonishing degree the lwa determine out lives. The Haitian serviteur has little use for anything like the Western idea of free will and personal responsibility. Rather, whatever has happened it is the lwa who have caused it.

With one in ten under-40s infected with HIV, and millions living in squalor and destitution, thousands try to flee each year to the U.S. by hanging on to anything that will float. While hurricanes, floods and earthquakes have all devastated the landscape over the years, the biggest threat has come from humans.

Successive dictators have raped, murdered and even reputedly eaten their enemies.

Described by one commentator as an 'international crime scene' rather than a country, Haiti became infamous around the world during the reign of Francois 'Papa Doc' Duvalier, a former doctor who murdered 100,000 people and formed a private band of killers called the Tonton Macoutes. Wearing their trademark mirrored sunglasses and designer T-shirts, these murderers and cannibals were named after a terrifying bogeyman from Haitian mythology, who carried off naughty children into slavery.

The Tonton Macoutes cut out the hearts, eyes and lungs of opponents with machetes, while Papa Doc, who stole almost a billion pounds in foreign aid, insisted that every television and radio programme had to be entirely in praise of his rule. In power from 1957, Papa Doc made voodoo the country's official religion and claimed to be Baron Samedi, the religion's spirit of death. He often wore a top hat and tails while demanding the skulls of his dead victims were brought to his palace in Port-au-Prince.

He collected blood from prisoners who had been tortured and killed and sold it for $22 a pint to U.S. health groups. He once ordered the death of all black dogs in the country after a political enemy was rumoured to have transformed into one.

Haiti is a largely Christian country, with Roman Catholicism professed by 80% of Haitians. Protestants make up about 16% of the population. Haitian Vodou, a New World Afro-diasporic faith unique to the country, is practiced by roughly half the population.[90] Religious practice often spans Haiti and its diaspora as those who have migrated interact through religion with family in Haiti.[91]

note: roughly half of the population practices voodoo
That sounds pretty Catholic to me. Furthermore, they don't sound any worse than the Nazis which was a Catholic party, nor do they sound any worse than the Croatians who are Catholic as a country and were (are) even worse than the Nazis.

The propensity for Haitians to have boatloads of children most likely have nothing to do with being catholic or voodoo,but instead (1) the lack of will
(2) tlhe lack of any birth control and (3) the high mortality rate among children. In other words, the same afflictions throughout the third world especially Africa.

The propensity for Haiti to have boatloads of orphaned children most likely have nothing to do with being catholic or voodoo, but instead with the diseases that run rampant in squalor and crime.

As many English people will die in the harsh UK winter as in Haiti, but of course no aid or outpouring of good will for those victims.
