..it always baffles me. Almost on a daily basis now. Children are killed in wars, children are killed in schools, on the streets, in their homes. Children are abused in every way know to man both here and abroad, sexually and psychologically. Children even kill children and themselves by guns laying around where they can get their hands on them. And there's the innocent adults who are also killed before their time, both by guns and by laws that prevent them from getting the care they need for their CURABLE health problems.
This is the main reason I am not a member of organized religion anymore. If there's a God up there and He's so all powerful, how can He stand idly by and let all of this happen here on earth? It just seems to me He's not up there anymore. It's almost like God passed on and nobody told us. No, He's not up there. He's here in us, and it appears we are not doing what needs to be done to stop it. No, I can't blame God. I can only blame mankind for these horrible atrocities. I'm sorry, I cannot forgive mankind, especially for the killing of the innocents.
My heart goes out to all of these sexually & psychologically abused individuals who are being and were captured and saved by ICE. This is what they need to be doing more of. I'm sure the ones they have captured only scratches the surface of this problem. The civilized world has to rise up and and stop the atrocities.
Forgive me for this long rant. It just rolled out of me and I can't help myself.
