Why is it right that "christian pastors" torture children in Africa?

The christian church needs to police itself before it JUDGES anyone else.

Update:

edk watch the NEWS.

Update 2:

Exorcism is a christian thing NOT a pagen rite.

Those that think I have no credibility are obviously ill informed about many things. WATCH or READ (if your are not illiterate) the NEWS.

Update 3:

Why is it the Government's responsibility and NOT the ORDAINING AUTHORIYY'S responsibility?

Update 4:

heatre24 and the other brainwashed nonthinkers . Credibility is not established with a "LINK", but by the TRUTH. Alink can be correct or a LIE. You obviously do not pay attention to recent news. Is your newspaper 2000 years old?

Update 5:

Update 6:

Nowhere have I said that all or even, that many pastors torture children, but I can understand why paronoid self doubters might read it that way. Pastors ARE TORTURING CHILDREN IN AFRICA. Read what is written, not what you wish had been written, oops, I'm sorry many of you seem to by nature be wishful types.

Why do you HIDE behind NO E-mail, That shows me that YOU lack credibility.

    Mother Theresa was a sadist as well. She denied sick dying people treatment as she believed suffering purified the soul.

    The church is full of these types.

    It's not right. I felt so bad for those children.Something needs to be done to help them. It's a pity.

    Edit: Source: ABC News Nightline.They are not American pastors,they are African,but Christian,accusing small children of being witches and torturing them.

    If you read carefully, used common sense and knew a little bit about Africa you would see that the so-called Christian pastors were nothing but a bunch of cheap hoods practicing a pagan rite.

    no TRUE christian pastors torture children, if that is happening is only by an extremely tiny minority, so stop trying to make pastors look bad.

    i know ur trying that because 'The christian church needs to police itself before it JUDGES anyone else'

    ur critising, and ur asking a rhetorical question , u just wanted to give out and inaccurate statement

    those people that do are misguided and stupid, but u shud not refer as if all christian pastors would do it, eg white,black , english african

    The christian church needs to police itself before it JUDGES anyone else.

    So does that left who have a hard on for Christians and always like to sit in judgment of them by making generalizing blanketed statements about all Christians. Let's see you get away with this by doing it to Muslims.

    Because national borders have a higher authority than religious ones. It's Africa, land of a lot of bad stuff happening to a lot of uninformed people. I blame the governments, not any religion, for that sort of problem.

    It is a scam getting money from their parents.Why do these parents believe these minsters? It is awful and the government over there will do nothing to protect these poor children. It is so sad

    Dawkins will go to any length to vilify the church, including lying and twisting.

    Source please? Your claim has no validity if you can't tell us where you got that from.

    Don't just tell me to watch the news... I do, and I have never heard about what you're asking about. If you don't want to look like an idiot, at least post a link.

    yes, it helps other protestants to snap out of it and see their churches as they really are just out there to gain people for no other reason
