On this continent, there were many ignorant things. The more backward a place or country was, the more ignorant things that people could not understand.
There were countless things in this place that normal people could not understand.
This was especially true in a country like Nigeria, where many different sects of Christianity were very powerful.
Those people could even be described as deranged because on this continent, there was a superstition called "witch child."
This tragedy was entirely due to the expansion of different sects of Western churches in Africa and the competition for believers. The locals lacked education and often blamed the misfortunes that happened at home on the unlucky, and the defenseless children became the scapegoats.
In some countries and regions on this continent, more and more children were seen as witch children who were possessed by evil spirits. They were beaten, tortured, and even brutally killed because of this.
Many years ago, African women and the elderly were the ones who were the most persecuted by witchcraft. Now, children were the biggest victims.
Most of them were boys around ten years old. Most of them were orphans, street children, albinos, and disabled children.
Some ignorant locals even believed that pouring gasoline into their eyes and ears could get rid of evil spirits! More and more children were forced to drink pigeon blood and gasoline to get rid of evil spirits.
Continuous wars, civil strife, imbalanced urbanization, and poverty were the main reasons for this phenomenon.
Some poor families even used witchcraft as an excuse to kick their children out of their homes. In many places, the exorcism of witch children had formed a complicated and profitable economic chain.
Not long ago, there was a news report about a child sleeping on a blanket in a hospital that was covered in blood and ants. He stared at the wall without any hope of survival.
Because the priest accused him of being a possessed witch child, his superstitious father poured acid into his mouth to expel the evil spirit. He struggled with all his might, and the acid splattered everywhere, destroying his face and eyes. A month later, he died.
This kind of tragedy was really just the tip of the iceberg on this continent. Every year on this continent, there were thousands of children who were persecuted because of this.
Of course, there was also a more cruel reason. If there was one less person to support in the family, it was equivalent to reducing the burden on the family. Therefore, it was usually the child's family who abused or killed the child accused of being a witch child.
The main culprits were the churches! Those God-believing bastards!
This kind of ignorant thing ran rampant on this continent, and it was indistinguishable from the conflicts between the churches.
Due to the expansion of different denominations of churches in this place, there were too many of them and the competition was too fierce. Some of the pastors of the churches even responded to the traditional superstitions of Africa by using the supernatural power of finding out the witch children to establish their authority and attract the local people to believe in them.
Using such a despicable and shameless method to achieve his goal.
At least half of these cruel incidents involved Christian clergymen. They took advantage of the fact that the locals were poor and uneducated. They charged a fee and used cruel methods to exorcise the witches.
If the God these people believed in knew about this, how would he despise them?
Oh … no, the God they believed in would forgive them all the evil things they had done, as long as they prayed.
Some of these poor children were disfigured by their mothers' corrosive liquid, while others had their skulls sawed off! Some were even nailed in the head by their fathers, while others were buried alive by their cousins!
In this place, the influence of the Church was great, so even if they were persecuted, no one dared to resist or reveal the identity of those people for fear of retaliation.
Moreover, these people from the Church were too shameless. Even if they had done those evil things, they would not admit it. They would say that they were only praying for exorcism and would not use those cruel and violent methods.
It was these sanctimonious guys that turned this place into a hell for so many children!
The pastors who used these perverted methods to exorcise the witches would also say that if the children were not tortured to death, it meant that the exorcism was successful. If they died, then they died.
Anyway, the locals were ignorant and superstitious. No one would be detained or expelled by the police because they all believed that this was normal.
Just this point alone had formed a very frightening profit chain on this continent.
Those perverted pastors would use this method to make money, and the evil things that happened to those poor children were not limited to this.
Those children who were abandoned because they were witch children also became the targets of some foreign people with ulterior motives.
Many people from other countries would come to this continent to find ways to obtain human organs, such as corneas, which were all very valuable things.
There were also countries that were even more perverted, such as Japan, because some of the perverted people there liked to eat … There were also poor children who were directly captured alive and put on cargo ships bound for Japan.
These things were really dark and terrifying to the point that it was inconceivable.
Other than the ignorance of the locals and the local poverty that caused it, there was another big reason, which was the perverted mentality of people nowadays.
Was there anything that people nowadays would not do?
As long as there was profit, there was nothing that people would not dare to do. As long as there was business, there would be murder. This didn't only exist between humans and animals, but also between humans.
For the sake of profit, many people did not treat humans as humans at all, nor did they treat themselves as humans.
These people who would do anything for the sake of profit were simply devils.
Calling them devils was already giving them too much credit. They could not even be considered devils. Because even devils would not do those things that persecuted children …
On this continent, there were too many such devils, so many that the number was unknown.
Thinking about the luxurious life of the Church's Popes, did this have anything to do with everything that they originally believed in?
Obviously not. These people who could reach the center of power did not believe in those bullsh * t doctrines at all! They only needed to make the believers believe in them.
And what they had to do was to use the believers' trust to get the benefits they wanted.
To put it bluntly, on this continent, all religions were f * cking evil. Only the Relief Society that considered the people here, and those institutions that would really help the children here, were their God.
Those bastards who hung the heads of God but did the things of devils were a group of things that should be cut into pieces.
In this huge circle of economic interests, Lai Wen was also involved.
Of course, he certainly had nothing to do with the Church, and he had nothing to do with the priests. These things were basically done by those Western bastards.
What Lai Wen did was also related to organs. In this circle of interests, Lai Wen did not feel that he was dirty and despicable, because he believed that even if he did not do these things, there would still be others who would do it.
When he thought about it this way, he felt that he was very noble.
He even felt that he could give those poor people a life by doing it, and if it was someone else who did it, those people would not even be alive.
But Lai Wen never thought about how a child would live in the future after he deprived him of his cornea.
What was the difference between this and letting a person die … There was no difference at all.
But even so, Lai Wen was still very determined not to let go of the huge benefits.
