That article does not say that the pastors leading the witch burnings there are from the US, nor does it say they are not, it is not specified.

They quote someone from a US church saying they are no longer in contact with a Nigerian church they had been associated with.

So your only beef is with the nationality of the pastors? Really?

It was the US evangelical pastors that shaped their beliefs:

Your post read an awful lot like a statement of fact that was meant to be backed up by the link following the colon. I just pointed out that the information was not present in the article.

You wonder why I focus on the distraction, I wonder why you put it there.

There seems to be history of failed ideologues from the west going to poorer nations to try to sell ideologies that didn't sell here: fanatical Marxism, fascism, and now dominionist ideology. It's like a form of toxic waste dumping.
