i just posted this on al jazeera as a comment. it was a response to some who questioned the existence of god in the face of this kind of horror. he said "if there is one i hope she's an angry black woman."
there is brother and she just might be. i am for the most part a non-resistant christian (not a pacifist.) violence is simply not the way to resolve issues. there are times though, that i see individuals where i might take exception to that. those are the cases where i can visualize myself standing before god (a black woman with a west indian accent) and god looking at me and saying: "child ....... why you kill dot man?" my explanation would have to be good enough for god to respond: "yah now i remember that ba$tard .. if i wasn't a quaker i would have killed him myself!" its a pretty high bar but boko haram easily makes it.
