Voodou isnt like that. It isnt concerned with notions of salvation and transcendence. What its about is getting things done. You follow me? In out system, there are many gods, spirits. Part of one big family, with all the virtues, all the vices. Theres a ritual tradition of communal manifestation, understand? Voodou says, theres a God, sure, Gran Met, but Hes big, too big and too far away to worry Himself if your ass is poor, or you cant get laid. Come on, man, you know how this works, its street religion, came out of dirt poor places a million years ago. Voodous like the street. Some duster chops out your sister, you dont go camp on the Yakuzas doorstep, do you? No way. You go to somebody, though, who can get the thing done. Right?
