Paedo priests
How come the Africans haven't caught up with that trend yet?

Looks like the Church of England is trying to muscle in on the Pope's kiddy fiddling turf as well now.

It doesn't seem to be in the news much...
...but this may be because it's not their worst problem at the moment.

This belief in possession by evil spirits has been promulgated in Africa by western missionaries of fundamentalist, particularly Pentecostal, Christian beliefs. It has enabled Africans to retain a modified version of their former beliefs in witchcraft, obtaining the approval and support of Satan-hunting Christians whose life is dedicated to the pursuit of evil. New churches, started by Africans with a self-proclaimed "divine mission", have sprung up everywhere.

Sorry for lack of LOLs but to me it's genuinely saddening, terrifying and infuriating that this kind of thing goes on in the 21st century, anywhere.

And remember,
We HAVE to listen to these twisted fuck-ups when they tell us that two people of the same sex can't have a loving, stable marriage. Get them gone. Get them out of the House of Lords, off our TV & radio, out of our public life,

Just. Fucking. Fuck off. You cunts.

Rape is so commonplace
in many african nations. So much so that it's possible priests could be conkers deep twice a week and still be seen as showing restraint. :-(

Making me laugh at something inappropriate on the interweb, you monster ;)

Yeh take a guy who's been brought up to believe in sin and discovered he has 'sinful tendencies', ie would quite like to have some sex,
let him join a cult of god bothering good-book waving power mongers into self flagellation and abstinence in the hope it will 'cure him'of said sinful urges, whilst maintaining a veneer of sexless trust and sinless purity in public, then allow the severely repressed and by now completely sexually obsessed frock wearing mind-fuck to take your child behind closed doors.

What could possibly go wrong!?
