Journal / thank goodness.

i was just reading about how the police have broken up an international, uk-based, paedophile ring.
thank goodness.
i’m a pacifist, and i try not to judge, but a part of me would love to see paedophiles encased in concrete and dropped to the bottom of the sea.
childhood sexual abuse really is the most vile of vile crimes.
i wonder about evil.
does evil exist?
were one to make a case for evil i imagine that one would use paedophiles as a prime example.
even jesus the pacifist said, to paraphrase, ‘it’s better for you that you be cast into the sea with a mill-stone around your neck than that you abuse a child.’
and i wonder about paedophiles, just how broken are they to not see the horror of what they’re doing?
i issue a prayer of thanks that there are law enforcement officials pursuing and arresting paedophiles.
sexual abuse is always a vile crime, but against a child it enters the realm of pure, unadulterated evil.
