I wish Pat Robertson would read this

I guess I'd heard some story before about Haiti and VooDoo and 'Devil Worship', but when you hear right-wing (supposedly Christian) media spout crap about innocent Haitians deserving their misery it makes you do a little research. I think I'll trust the words of (Haitian) brother Jean R. Gelin instead.

in reference to:

"I was born and raised in Haiti, and I am a graduate of the State University in Port-au-Prince. I am also a believer in the Lord Jesus-Christ in accordance with the Bible. In all of my studies of Haitian history, however, I have yet to find a good evidence of even the idea of Satan’s assistance in the Independence War, let alone a satanic pact."
