>As Prof. Jenkins notes, Third-Worlders love Biblical accounts of exorcisms and miracle cures. "African Christians [for example]," he explains, "find it difficult to understand just why there are some parts of the Bible they are expected to believe with absolute literalism - for instance, the resurrection - while [other] stories . . . must be treated as no more than instructive fables." He explains that since the lives of Third-Worlders have always been full of magic and witchcraft, they "can read Biblical accounts [of miracles] with far more understanding and sensitivity than Northern Christians can." The new Christians wonder how northerners can claim to be Christian and not believe in miracles.
>African Christianity, in particular, permits "a wide range of traditional practices, including polygamy, divination, animal sacrifices, initiation rites, circumcision, and the veneration of ancestors." The Catholic Bishop of Bloemfontein in South Africa has proposed that animal sacrifice be added to the mass. African priests are also notorious fornicators. Now, explains Prof. Jenkins, because of the fear of AIDS, some specialize in seducing - or raping - nuns.
