  2. 1. Somebody might distrust somebody in voodoo, because most people say its a dark magic and also because it looks dark and evil.

    2. One positive thing I seen about voodoo was that your can have your spirit leave your body and help other people out with there problems in their lives with a evil spirit. But then your spiritsomes back several hours later.

  4. Question 1:
    Voodoo itself is a rather odd religion from an outersiders point of view because their are so many things about it that are forin to us, like the chanting in a different language, the dancing, all the different spirit talk, the rubbing with a chicken... From say a cristian point of view it must seem like devil worship! But I'm sure to them cristianity is just as strange.

    Question 2:
    Voodoo is a very involved religion, it all happens before the eyes and it brings hope to alot of people.
