“You may not be interested in war, but war is interested in you.”

I understand your disgust, but this subject has been thrust upon us against our will. We lose by default if we don’t answer it.

It’s also that people are dismayed that they can seem to do little or nothing about it.

I’ll say it until I am blue in the face and pushing up daisies. This is another warning that modern Christendom has been preaching a wimpy, hypocritical distortion of gospel. One which might be able to shame the sinner but cannot light his way out. Which preaches a “repentance” which in fact is self-effort based.

If Ugandan faith does not go further (I hope it will, but what I see isn’t all that encouraging now), Uganda too is going to see that this will be a monkey it cannot get off of its back. It’ll just go underground but otherwise be as virulent a problem as alcohol remained in US prohibition days, back when it was believed widely that nobody could recover from being a drunkard. (The modern, famous, and successful concept of 12-step group came from a bold assertion that this assumption was wrong — and it got secularized because churches were still slow to embrace its original form, which specifically named Jesus Christ its higher power.)

Still, having come successfully to grips with the problems of drunkenness and drug addiction for the willing, now the next level in reminding Christendom of the power of its heritage is dealing with this.
