There is nothing "scientific" about religious or spiritual belief.  In my  
opinion, the linguistic transition from Voodoo or Voodoun to  hoodoo 
represents a  
generational breakdown the attachment to a  former belief system and 
replacement  by another. People whose  parents or grandparents once practiced 
the old  
religion, but whose  current religion is something else (say Islam or 
Protestant)  use the  term to refer to the old way. I cannot speak for 
others, but I do  
not  think anyone intended to be derogatory and really wish the harsh  
comments 
would  end. The part of this thread about the meaning of the  term is 
interesting, but  judging others for using the term in an  implied way is not 
amusing.

Again, I don't care anything about religion. My concern is with using  
correct terms in our studies and not passing along incorrect information as  fact. 
Thats all on this subject for me....
