No, but Voodoo beliefs and practices were worked into Christian context by people from West-africa all over the Carribean and even (I believe) parts of the south of the U.S., New Orleans e.i. I guess that's kinda what you meant.

I always thought it was more of a blend from slaves not trying to give up their culture completely, which is a good thing.  It gives Louisiana the unique culture that only exists in that part of the World.

Yeah, it's not nescessarily Voodoo but what slaves brought with them, animism, belief in ghosts and whatnot. I'm not trying to sound like they were more superstitious than western Christians, though.

Were you talking with Soulja Boy?
