Am I alone in seeing no difference between what the jujuman was doing and what anyone else involved in any religion is doing? He was practicing within his belief system and has the same validity and should be treated with the same respect as any priest/minister/preacher/church elder/coven leader/etc.

Bill, your hope that others might learn from the mistakes of those involved is not likely to happen. When it comes to spirituality and religion people tend to ignore proof that disturbs their belief system. This has been shown repeatedly by such work as The Amazing Randi.

Maybe the question should be what the recipient of the bulletproofing was planning to do that he thought he needed the treatment.
