Christian Subversion And Missionary Activities - 5

[Shambhu]

Cant find the natural religions thread..

I heard on NPR today that Mexicans, out of fear of the drug violence that has gripped Mexico, have started worship (renewed worship) of Santa Muerte, the Goddess of Death. They ask her for protection, She is worshipped as a skeleton, decked with ornaments and feathers. Catholicristochurch, of course, thinks this is "satanic". Mexicans dont care. One of the worshippers was heard on radio saying something in spanish which was translated by the radio voive over as "there is no God as powerful as you".

Also, it seems, shrines to Santa M are financed by drug lords.

Some worshippers said they wanted to return to their roots. This worship, NPR said, is Aztec or Urubi (sp) brought over by African slaves.
