Self-proclaimed television prophet Cindy Jacobs recently warned people with Native American heritage that they should “repent for their ancestors’ animism” because they are particularly vulnerable to evil spirits.

In an episode of her web series 10 Minute Prayer School last week, Jacobs said that the Leviathan spirit described in Job 41 was often the cause of “divorce, tribal wars, church splits, family feuds, sibling rivalries, ministries breaking up.”

“If you have in your bloodline any animus [sic], any Native American blood, for instance — not all Native Americans worshipped the serpent or crocodile, many did — but you might want to renounce that and repent for the generational iniquity,” she explained. “If you are — perhaps you’re Mexican and you might have indigenous blood in you or Mayan blood, those who have Aztec blood in any way, you need to repent for the sin of animism before you begin to deal with this spirit.”

4. What a pile of crap

If you go far back enough in any family tree, be it Mexican, Indian, Northern European, Middle Eastern, all were the did the same thing, worshiped animal gods, made human sacrifices and were probably cannibals.

5. Or you can worship a monotheistic deity

who thinks genocide including killing children is a good thing for his people to do (actually orders them to do it and punishes them if they don't). Now that is screwed up.

Of course you also have that religion arguing that slavery and conquest are God's will.

6. fuck her

How about she repent for what her ancestors did to mine first? I'd say genocide in the name of the almighty dollar trumps animism by a long way

7. Get her a frigging dictionary.

She needs to look up animus and animism. One is not the root for the other.
