Voodoo vs. Christianity

Tensions are rising between Christians and followers of Voodoo (or Vodou) in Haiti. Voodoo devotees say that the many Christians who have poured into Haiti following the recent catastrophic earthquake are not just distributing aid; they are using the situation to evangelize. Well, duh!!!

The horrible situation in the island nation should not be intentionally exploited by missionaries (and listening to a sermon should never be a prerequisite for receiving aid) but, when they are asked why they are helping, they should be quick and eager to answer.

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and [be] ready always to [give] an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" 1 Peter 3:15.
