Why this?
Aug 01, 2007 in Life-logger
I don't always shed tears over people I don't know, but the news of the two Korean hostages being killed by the Taliban regiment has shaken me up.
And right now I'm in the midst of rushing some work out, still I can't stop the tears.
I don't understand this, God, why do you have to do such things to us? Why is it necessary for religion to tear us apart, or what do you have to make us all believe in different things. Why is it that ideology can be a cause for violence, and why do people have to kill just to make a point.
I know I should not connect a particular religion to a particular behavior type, but as these news keeps piling up, how am I supposed to keep my principles intact? I'm not exactly easily shaken, God knows I'm opinionated and it takes a hell of a catastrophe to make me change my mind, but if these events aren't catastrophes, then how else can we define them?
…
Lord, Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who have sinned against us, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one, for Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, and the Glory, Forever and ever…
