If you don’t know who Joseph Kony is by now, then it’s likely that
you don’t own a computer. He’s a brutal warlord in Africa who kidnaps
children and conscripts them into his “Lord’s Resistance Army” (LRA).
His tactics are unspeakably vicious and brutal, and he’s been at it for
over 20 years. The man is a monster, and he needs to be stopped. I have
written twice before on this blog about Kony, once in 2005 and again in 2008. Here’s what Christianity Today wrote about him in 2005:
Perhaps the greatest atrocity is
teaching these children that they spread this carnage by the power of
the Holy Spirit to purify the “unrepentant,” twisting Christianity into a
religion of horror to their victims. It is spiritual warfare at its
very worst, and it could not be more satanic. . .
Under threat of death, LRA child
soldiers attack villages, shooting and cutting off people’s lips, ears,
hands, feet, or breasts, at times force-feeding the severed body parts
to victims’ families. Some cut open the bellies of pregnant women and
tear their babies out. Men and women are gang-raped. As a warning to
those who might report them to Ugandan authorities, they bore holes in
the lips of victims and padlock them shut. Victims are burned alive or
beaten to death with machetes and clubs. The murderous task is
considered properly executed only when the victim is mutilated beyond
recognition and his or her blood spatters the killer’s clothing. Read the rest HERE
