Default Santeria............?

I am torn.... Some of my family members practice Santeria. They don't worship the devil. It is very spiritual. Why do people fear it yet go to it when in despair? Isn't that hypocritical?
All I am saying is not to lie about believing in it... If you go to it for help, great, but why lie. You can't lie to God because he already knows.

Those who fear it don't know anything about it and won't ever bother to learn. They'll just listen to what they're told and swallow it as gospel.

It is hypocritical to only practice your beliefs when times are tough. It is just as hypocritical to only practice when times are good.

I do not practice any of the African Traditional Religions, but I am friends with people who do, and they practice at all times as I practice my religion at all times and acknowledge Hera and Hestia as having a special place for me in my life....

And before people ask Hera is FAR more than simply Zeus' jealous wife.......

I admit I do not know much on this subject. But, I do know that the media enjoys mocking it. Whether it is valid or not, I do not know.

Santeria is a perfect religion for those who believe in it with all their hearts and souls. If you are torn about it, then do you have any other religion in your mind to think and convert your spirituality.
Santeria seems to have God whom they call Orisha and they have a goddess who is pure like Mary of the Catholics and Mary believed in Hebrew God, the Eli.
Therefore, we are already in to many religious faiths and beliefs.
If you find love and forgiveness in any religion, you are very close to a perfect religion and then it depends upon your love and devotion like a child for his mother.
Now you have it all,
