American Pentecostals are turning a blind eye to persecution of child ‘witches” in Africa. While the American branches of these churches are content to torment gays and single mothers, their African compatriots are more ambitious, fomenting rage against innocent children in honest, old-fashioned witch hunting style.
Pious followers are told their own children are the source of their misfortunes, setting off mass panics. The children branded as little witches become at best outcasts from society- neglected, abused. At worst, they’re subjected to horrific exorcisms- tortured, maimed, and even killed. The sort of criminal behaviors that mark a child witch? Ill-health, crying in the night, disobedience.
What do the American branches of these churches do? They invite these sneering monsters to give “inspirational” lectures, put them up in fancy hotels, make reciprocal visits to Africa in the name of Christian brotherhood, and never consider criticizing their gleefully sociopathic fellows, and the media refuses to criticize them for it.
