No wonder they call Africa the Dark continent. What a barbaric and backward place Nigeria is! Apparently they ignore the part of the Bible where Jesus says: "Suffer the children to come unto me, for such is the kingdom of heaven."

When I read the headline, I thought I had a witty comment to make. But the story is just too horrific.

I even have to take exception to Exodus (10:08 p.m.) trying to use the story to get on what is probably a typical anti-Christian soapbox for him. It merits no response here.

@ I feel sick

We here in the US don't have such a clean record either. Do a google search for videos of children undergoing exorcism. But be warned, they are not pretty images.

Pastors

This is another reasons why PAID CLERGY is such a bad idea.

They have an "incentive" to be so barbaric and its not out of saving souls......
When the coin in the coffer does ring
the Pastor an exorcism will bring.

This cruelty demands swift action to be stopped.
Children are innocent and beautiful in the sight of God.

There is no greater cruelty...

than mankind's inhumane treatment of their fellow man.

...and, to quote a popular radio talk show host, "the most expensive commodity we have is ignorance".

Children being victimized by religion. Are there other religions, here in American that teach that people can be cured by expelling forces from a person's body? This is even believed by "Christian" groups.

@karl
