Shirley D Crosb I have always thought that the practice of voodoo was always evil with the bringing back of the dead in a zombie state. Was this just a hoax? How did the Lousisiana Bayou get tagged with the practice of voodoo? 4/19/2008

LuV yA, Allison I halfway agree with the colonists' decisions of banning voodoo. I mean, it could hurt someon. But, also, I think that the Africans should have their freedom of religion too. 10/6/2006
hypnotist you are right...but i think hinduism and tantra were ,here way before anything on earth ,while the rest of the world was living in caves half clad and speechless .

Mark I think this is all crap! Voodoo or " Vodoun" is witchcraft! Unless they repent now and believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, they have no chance of escaping the fiery flames of Hell! 5/30/2006
