Well voodoo priests seem to believe that they are people who have died and either were not buried properly (proper ritual in other words) or not "prayed over (meant to read as chanted over) properly so therefore they come back to life and persecute the living. For all we know they can be dead bodies inhabited by demons which would explain why these priests believe they are the dead come back to life. When it comes to the spiritual world, I believe a demon can inhabit a human body and what would be the difference between inhabiting a live one or a dead one...

Shit like this scares me a lot. They are already showing how effectively they dehumanize those they disagree with, which is spitting distance from bad, bad things.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: These people live in a comic-book universe. They have absolutely no grasp on the distinction between reality and fantasy.

That's...not how they believe zombism works. They have to choose to zombify someone and give them what's actually a potent poison. Unlike demonic possession zombism does work, just not in the way they believe. The poison paralyzes the victim and makes their vital signs nearly undetectable, so they're pronounced dead and are buried. If the victim is lucky the priest will unbury them before they asphyxiate, but their brains will be damaged enough to essentially strip them of self-awareness. Thus they're much more susceptible to suggestion.
Reincarnation is believed in many places. Even you, Christina believe in reincarnation.
No?
What about Jesus? Did he come back as a demon too? Is that the reason he failed to keep his promise to return during the lifetime of those he was addressing?
Try not to be so stupid. You do yourself no favours.

I believe a polkadotted unicorn named Georgette visits me in dreams. While I comb her gorgeous locks she talks to me in a Germanic language, and although I don't speak German I understand her perfectly.
Sometimes she brings over her friend the Easter Bunny and we drink peppermint schnapps and order a pizza.
I think you're thinking of zombies. It's usually the voodoo priest who turns people into zombies. And it's all a bunch of hokum. The legend is that a voodoo priest will give someone some kind of drug without them knowing it which renders their body to appear without vital signs. The person is then buried, and the voodoo priest will dig them up and make them their slave, all the time giving them more drugs to remove their free will.
Whether or not it's ever happened is up for debate.
Everything you rapture believing idiots don't understand is the work of Satan to you. That includes the theory of evolution, cosmology, physics, chemistry, biology, geology, palaeontology (aw, hell, all the sciences), politics, economics, and pretty much all religions on this planet except your own brand of fucktardedness.
"When it comes to the spiritual world ... "
Stop right there. Anything goes because it's all imaginary.
"... I believe a demon can inhabit a human body ..."
You believe in all sorts of nonsensical bullshit, I suspect.
"... and what would be the difference between inhabiting a live one or a dead one...(sic)"
Um, the smell? Hypothetically speaking of course, and what you wanted there was a question mark, so you fail biology, reality, and grammar too!
Excuse me, but WE do not all know that. In fact, most of us know that you're a nutter.
Setting aside that fact that demons are not real, the difference between a "live one or a dead one" is that one of them IS DEAD.
While I know you guys are pissed off that you've failed to convert them even after centuries of oppression, haven't they had enough?
It's actually kind of beautiful to see a 'creole religion' with elements of Catholicism in order to hide it pop up underneath that oppression, even as an atheist.
You might want to try getting your information from much more reputable sources. It's much more interesting when you read stuff from people who know what they're talking about than this crap you've just made up.
"prayed over (meant to read as chanted over)"
Since when can a prayer not be chanted? Why does their different funeral ritual automatically make them wrong?
This is already settled.
The 'zombies' are NOT dead. They are poisoned so they seem dead by fish toxins and then given datura by their masters so they can use them as mind control slaves.
There was even one who luckily didn't suffer too much brain damage when he was buried who came out of the "zombie" state when his master died and was able to tell about it sometime in the 1980s.
There is also some evidence that zombification is also used as a form of punishment by Haitian secret societies going back to the Haitian War of Independence.
