	Haitians Hail the 'President of Voodoo'
		From the cultural perspective, academics believe that the move to bestow official sanction on voodoo is a rite of acceptance that should free Haitians to practice their beliefs without fear of repression or censure.
		Much of the Christian world's fear of voodoo is thought to stem from those revolutionary rituals, as the war for independence entailed a degree of savagery and bloodletting never before directed at colonial masters.
		The walls are adorned with bas-relief images of Christian saints and their partner voodoo symbols, a legacy of the years when Haitians' embrace of their African spiritual roots had to be cloaked in the more accepted icons of the Catholic religion.

		"Voodoo is the only environment in which Haitian gays feel accepted and free to talk about issues," said Laurence Magloire, who last year produced a documentary film on voodoo and its embrace of sexual outcasts.

		This is the climax of the voodoo ceremony at the Plaine du Nord, some 300 kilometres north of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.

		For example, a Protestant fundamentalist must believe everything in the Bible as literally true, including those parts of the Bible that are contradictory or in opposition to their stated views.
		For example, if male homosexuality is an abomination worthy of death, Protestant fundamentalists should be murdering all male homosexuals as required in Leviticus.
		Since female homosexuality is never mentioned in the Bible, Protestant fundamentalists should not oppose lesbianism or female bisexuality, yet both are opposed as vehemently as male homosexuality.
