God Hates Burkina Faso. Burkina Faso means literally "Land of Upright Men" - you lying fools, you! This small African country has been cursed by the Lord God with about 45% of its inhabitants below the poverty line and almost 10% of the Burkinabe people infected with HIV. That is one heck of a curse! What would cause the God of Eternity to so heavily afflict such a nation? For starters, Burkina Faso has promoted the filth of sodomy and other perversions.
