I love the grace you offer to the Sudanese soldier. Jesus didn’t tell us to pray “forgive us our trespasses, except for rapists, murderers, and repeat child abusers.” Good on you, Cote.

Rebekah, thank you for speaking up and naming something you felt was wrong. I knew that was a risky sentence to write, but I went for it because the horror it describes faces us with the question at hand: what is our response in the face of such hellish atrocity?
My first gut response was to stone each one of them to death… but that would not solve the problem. The point of that sentence was to show an example where oppression leads to more oppression, and that compassion towards our enemies is not an easy act.
There is much to say about this and I’d love to hear your comments behind that passionate “Seriously?”

“…to the Sudanese soldier who is raping women, acting out the raping of his people by the hands of European Empires, men also face oppression and poverty.”
* Seriously?!?!?
