God, Satan and the Birth of Haiti

Oh my goodness, Pat Robertson has really done it now with his comment that Haiti leaders made a pact with the devil 200 years ago to get rid of the French and that's why bad stuff keeps happening there. As usual Mr Robertson is a bit ham handed with the facts. Click on the title to see an article about this as it is actually quite fascinating. Our church participates in many mission trips to Haiti and one thing we have learned is that while the country is officially Catholic, Voo Doo is still heavily practiced. I personally would be interested to hear what Voo Doo practitioners think about this. Do disasters happen because of a curse or do they happen to cleanse a place of evil spirits? If so, then why do the disasters keep happening? You would think that one good natural disaster would chase away evil spirits forever or for at least a good long time. Why is Haiti so particularly unfortunate?
