Gambian President Yahya Jammeh announced he had discovered a cure for [HIV/AIDS] that has wreaked havoc across Africa. He made that announcement in front of a group of foreign diplomats, telling them the treatment was revealed to him by his ancestors in a dream.
...
One critic was Fadzai Gwaradzimba, the U.N. envoy to Gambia. She was abruptly kicked out of the country after saying on February 9 that patients should continue their normal treatment and that Jammeh's concoction be "assessed by an international team of experts."

Well, all we can do is hope it works, but the overwhelming odds are that Gambian President Yahya Jammeh is an idiot. This sort of claim is even worse than the similar religious nonsense called Creationism.

This is another example of a particular type of religion called "The Cult of Personality". Fools will follow this idiot because there are enough idiots that believe in the mystical abilities of ordinary men and women who either claim their own divinity or have it claimed for them post-mortem.

Religion kills people.

Forget overwhelming odds, this stuff just doesn't work.

Believe in God, but row away from the rocks.

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian anymore than standing in a garage makes you a car.

That thought crossed my mind as I sat in my neighbors garage with no clothes on drinking Taylor Lake Country Red Wine and Smoking A Joint with my Neighbors wife, we both felt the presence of unseen forces, we also felt the presence of seen forces.

Harry, that was your best post yet. I just read it out loud to my spouse, and it's the first time he's been impressed with anything in this forum.
