Christianity in London isn't pretty

Please note that these individuals who practice child sacrifice are described as fundamentalist Christians. They are no such thing, but the British press must have a point to make in saying so. And, a goal to go with it.

These are Satanic cults, and are in no way, shape or form Christian, and certainly not "fundamentalist Christian sects." Any news source that says anything differently is also a Satanic agent.

Not even the wackiest Christian sect supports the practice of child sacrifice, here or anywhere else.

[Tumblehome]

The only reference to child sacrifice that could even remotely be related to christianity is the story of Abraham and Isaac, and even I, the anti-christian that I am, can't make that connection in any serious way. It is a pretty sick and twisted story IMO but it is only one occurence, specifically demanded by God, and long before the arrival of Jesus. Moreover, I would not be suprised if it is a story that was taken from earlier mythology (like Mithras, Gilgamesh, etc).

Followers believe that powerful spells require the deaths of "unblemished" male children.




This has been a practice in Africa for a long time. A popular cultural myth amongst the African men and young boys. It is nothing to do with fundamentalist Christianity! What you have in London is alot of immigration from these areas that are bringing these cultural demonic practices with them. Its a shame they will not be honest about what it really is.....its common knowledge though...so read up on it and where it comes from. Its nothing to do with Christianity!

A hundred years (or more) ago, people believed that sex with a virgin cured syphilis.

Good to see that Africans are only a century behind the rest of the world in their knowledge of medicine.

I'm sure I would call it satanic either. One doesn't have to go back very far to when Christians were burning witches in America and Europe.

In my opinion:
These so-called christians have practiced symbolic and actual child-sacrifice here, with the blessing of the U.S. supreme court:

So, the "wackiest" sects do practice such sacrifice.

That doesn't say anything bad about christianity as a whole, though, besides the fact that it can be horribly misused by cults, just as guns can be horribly misused by criminals. That's why I read the first section of the Catechism of the Catholic Church last week, with a view to possibly becoming a Catholic. I now understand that the Roman Church has been fighting these human sacrifice rituals ever since Paul wrote the "animal sacrifice" and other "old law" requirements were done away with by Christ's sacrifice. Isn't it interesting that this conclusion was first drawn in the book of "Romans?"

It is a pretty sick and twisted story IMO but it is only one occurence, specifically demanded by God, and long before the arrival of Jesus.The event was a test of Abraham's faith and trust in God's promises, for Abraham's benefit. He passed with flying colors. There is nothing "sick and twisted" about it. If you want to know what's "sick and twisted", look up passing through the fire (Lev 18:21 et al), a hellish child-sacrifice ritual amongst pagans of OT times.

... even I, the anti-christian that I am...How surprising. :rolleyes:

One doesn't have to go back very far to when Christians were burning witches in America and Europe.And we don't need to go back even that far to find Communist atheists murdering tens of millions of people.

Speaking of fundamentalism, here's the most fundamentalist liberal tack -

Dr. William Les Henry, a lecturer in sociology at Goldsmiths College, said aspects of the reports were pigeonholing crimes together and were patronising and racist.

He said: "When we think about these cases we can see the same kind of patterns of behaviour in European cultures but they are interpreted in completely different ways. "This is one of the crises with social sciences anyway, when they are supposedly interpreting the folk ways or cultural habits of alien cultures." He said that the models such reports are based on are that "Africans are less civilised, less rational".
Thanks for your help, perfessor. After listening to you, it is certainly clear which is the alien culture.
