Ugh.

The next person to go on at me about how the poor people all over the world have some kind of nobility because they're poor and that they really care about family and "know what's important" better back away quickly. Then they'd better read this article.

WARNING: DO NOT READ IF YOU ARE EASILY DISTURBED. THERE ARE GRAPHIC DESCRIPTIONS OF TERRIBLE THINGS DONE TO CHILDREN IN THE NAME OF RELIGION.

The short version is that some very misguided "christian" churches in Africa are accusing children of witchcraft in an attempt to gain followers. Many of those children are being abused in terrible ways.

This made me sick to my stomach. That children are abused in this day and age over superstitious nonsense disturbs me on a very deep level.
