  Nothing good to write home about Kwarteng, because he never made sense. Just read the caption of his article and it will tell you all about the uselessness of his followed rubbish.

  I wish every former, especially Trokosis and gullible church goers who believe in juju, voodoo and MATERIAL MIRACLE, read the quoted paragraph below; “In just the same way, a couple of hundred years ago,” writes George Orwell in the essay “Marrakech,” adding: “poor old women used to be burned for witchcraft when they could not even work enough magic to get themselves a square meal.” Inferentially, Orwell’s observation seems to indicate a clear-cut delineation between superstitious absolutism and scientific rationalism. Where is the supernatural power of the witch to harm others when that power cannot even afford a square meal to quench the burning hunger of that witch? This is where the inhumanity of witch camps and trokosi come in. Lest we are not misunderstood, we will make it clear again that we live in a society where individuals are free to believe what they want to believe as well as honor freedoms of association without harming the common good. Therefore, the Ghanaian media should lead a national debate where balance is struck between religious excesses and scientific rationalism for the common good. "
  A word to the wise is enough.

  I am sure that the mental state of a baby in the womb is different from that of one outside the womb, just as the state of the dead is different from that of the living. I am also sure that the focus of a witch is domination, not satisfaction of hunger. Unless we stop projecting our thoughts onto others, the problems will remain. This is the problem with adopting a particular perspective, especially one that does not take others into consideration. Thank you.
