A God who delights in his children's despair

The video was even more heartbreaking than most coming out of Syria.

Posted on the mirror.uk newspaper web site, it claims to show a young fighter leaving on his final, suicidal mission against the forces of President Bashar al-Assad in the town of Fua, Syria. There is no date on the video, but Fua has been the scene of intense fighting for the past few months.

He climbs into a Soviet-era armored personnel carrier, probably captured from government forces, which the news story describes as “packed with explosives.” Men are all around him, offering encouragement, taking video with their phones, embracing him.

Then, with his head sticking out of the hatch of the vehicle, the young man — one could easily call him a boy — starts to cry.

He tells his comrades he is only afraid about not succeeding in blowing up his target.

It’s not hard to imagine the real reason. He’s about to die and he knows it. The encouragement and approval all around him tell him that there’s no way out other than this — that there’s no turning back. He’s terrified, but this is what will gain him status and acceptance among his peers.

Only he won’t be among them anymore. He will be gone, blown into a million pieces. Lost to the Earth. But he will belong. He will mean something.

This is his best option.

He is God’s opposite and sworn enemy. He’s also known as Lucifer or Satan.

If the Muslim “Allah” isn’t Satan, then he’s a wannabe trying his best to gain Lucifer’s favor.
