Spiritual Cleansing

Remarkable as it may seem to find Christians selling specious miracles, particularly in Africa, something of the sort does appear to have been the business plan of a few entrepreneurial buccaneers at Fort Portal in western Uganda. A Briton and three Ugandans from the Global Healing Christian Mission have been charged with distributing among impoverished villagers a Miracle Mineral Solution which they claimed would cure malaria, cancer and HIV. No doubt they believed that, regardless of mere material chemistry, God would cure the faithful and disown the undeserving; but the Miracle Mineral Solution, when examined by the authorities without the eyes of faith, was found to contain industrial bleach. It is true that industrial bleach, if administered in sufficient quantities, will cure all human ills eventually; though probably not in the fashion which consumers had in mind.
