I can be as callous as the next person, but you are correct, those two reddit posts are heartbreaking.
Can you imagine how it breaks God’s heart to see people treat each other like that, or to be used as pawns of Satan to destroy lives?
I don’t know how He can stand it.
For professional reasons, I have read unexpurgated accounts of Vietcong/North Vietnamese, Japanese, Cuban, and Nazi German treatment of prisoners of war. It’s wrenching and hard to take. Very hard.
This business of mutilating children is worse. IMO. Much harder to wrap my head around, and far more outrageous.
This is NOT what God made us for.
