Everyday I get an email from Merriam-Webster with a new "word of the day". Today though I think I'd like to substitute it for another one: Smite!
The following are three headlines that appeared just today:
AP: “Austrian police: 22 suspects detained, 136 identified in global child porn sting…”
Reuters: “U.N High Commissioner condemns Guinea Blood Bath…has to ensure that all those responsible to carrying out summary executions, rapes (of women and girls in the streets) and other human rights violations are brought to justice,..”
MSNBC: "Bishop charged in child sex abuse case"
Is it just me, or has the world gone mad?
Anyone who knows me will tell you that I am not generally prone to such vehement statements, or to quoting from the bible, but seriously, we need some good old-fashioned Smiting! Some Old Testament, Wrath of God, Archangels-killing-demons type smiting.
The Book of Daniel in the Old Testament says: “... that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people."
We need you Michael. Smite the hell out of them.
