Sarena Saint Christus, is my avid devotee who has a rabid following of young Texas women who also believe the world is coming to an end, and only The Chosen Ones will find sanctuary atop the Drakensberg mountain range that is in Zulu territory.
Sarena has converted WASP maidens from the ranks of the wealthy Republican Christian elite, and has built a compound in Wacco, claiming she is a descendant of Sarah, Jesus’ daughter. Sarena has declared Texas Tea Party Patriots, frauds, the scum of the earth. She has vowed to exterminate the male chauvinist curse that lusts after guns and the girls that serve them bacon and eggs at their local diner. These children of the corn are all grown up, and looking for a fight, cuz – that’s the American way!
Saint John is powerless to stop them! When it comes to the War on Women, no prisoners will be taken – as is traditional!
The British Empire were well honed parasites. They sent armies and missionaries all over the world to conquer people in the name of their king or queen – and Jesus! The soldiers in Zulu were sent to protect missionaries. The Zulus had their own traditional and ancient religious beliefs.
The hidden agenda of the Christian Tea Party movement is the Great Commission which bids all Christians to convert the world to Christianity. Women’s programs, and funding for the arts, are seen as coming from the spirit of satan. The color of ones skin is not an issue with most tea baggers. Being a woman who does not bow down to Jesus – is huge! Women make up half the population, and thus must be converted into Holy Christian Cops who will protect your back as you mow down your enemies.
Tea Party Christians are insane and deluded because they believe only their ilk own the right to defend the homeland and their family traditions – as warriors and patriots!

An insangoma was usually a woman. She had a special contact with her ancestral spirits, which gave her clairvoyance. It took a lot of training to gain this power. The insangoma’s main task was to diagnose the causes of the diseases in order to decide on a cure.
Christian missionaries make no secret of the fact that they use medical services, education, and employment opportunities to lure impoverished indigenous populations throughout the world into conversion to Christianity.
Religious Beliefs
The Zulus believed in an almighty or supreme being, whom they called Umvelinqangi, which means “the one who is always there.” Their Umvelinqangi, they believed, created the universe, but had little to do with day-to-day affairs. It was the spirits of dead relatives, their ancestors, who were believed to have the power to bless or punish the living.
So, they honored ancestors by rituals and ceremonies. The ancestors were thought to be in another world, where they were believed to be happy and powerful. They were said to punish people who did bad deeds by making them suffer misfortunes.
In daily life, there were various taboos. These mainly emphasized the divisions between those who were kinsmen and those who weren’t. For example, there were certain areas within the homestead where outsiders were not permitted to go, such as where the dead were buried or where religious rituals were practiced.
To break these taboos was regarded as sacrilege, which could lead to punishment by death. There were other taboos, which it was considered not so bad to break. Like, how women always had sat on the left-hand side of the doorway, while men sat on the right-hand side. Taboos on food were connected with kinship. It was taboo to drink milk or eat and food made from milk in any home other than where the family had the same surname as yours, or the same surname as your mother’s family. Again, this was another way of expressing the importance of kinship relationships.
Health and Healing
To the Zulus, illness was not only physical pain but also emotional stress that causes misfortune. So if a person died, the relatives were considered ill, as a result of the emotional stress. To be healthy meant to be in good physical and social standings. Illness could come from natural causes and inherited diseases. Also there were illnesses due to the practice of improper conduct, which annoyed the ancestral spirits and caused them to withdraw their protection and blessing.
For this reason, the Zulu healers were divided into three main categories. First, there was the insangoma, or spiritual medium (called witch doctor by Europeans).
An insangoma was usually a woman. She had a special contact with her ancestral spirits, which gave her clairvoyance. It took a lot of training to gain this power. The insangoma’s main task was to diagnose the causes of the diseases in order to decide on a cure. Also, there were inyangas (herbalists). They made mixtures of different herbs to cure various aches and pains. Inyangas were usually men. They couldn’t diagnose the cause of misfortunes.
In addition, there were also men and women who had a special medical skill, which was passed down to them. Some were bonesetters, some specialized in wounds, and so forth. There wore also those who had knowledge of antidotes to snake bites, and specialist midwives who helped at difficult births.
According to the popular and scholarly history of Christianity, the early Christian Church found its greatest appeal and attracted its greatest number of converts from the poor people of the Roman Empire. The early Christian churches raised money through a tithe, or ten per cent income tax, levied on their members, and the early Christian church is said to have had a strong ‘sense of community’, which implies that it had a well-organized social, financial, and political network among its membership.
Using your wealth to purchase other people’s loyalty is a game as old as humanity itself. Rich men use their wealth to attract women, unscrupulous employers use material incentives and disincentives to manipulate their workers, and wealthy countries like the USA use their national wealth to keep their citizens loyal to the cause of aggressive and genocidal Imperialism. But historical longevity and common practice don’t make the manipulation or exploitation morally or ethically right
