Gaslighting
For the last three years, I have been observing
attitudes, listening to opinions and reading blogs/comments about perpetrators
and their victims.
When did some Christians (of all
denominations) reduce themselves to being rape apologists and protectors of
rapist/pedophile’s sentiments?
When did the private and personal healing balm of
forgiveness come to be used as a weapon of inducing guilt in the victim, an instrument
of silencing the victim?
“He that is
without sin, cast the first stone” is being used indiscriminately,
over the Internet, to silence the uproar against such crimes.
Random quotes from The Bible are being bandied
about, which not being in context, have resulted in negative imagery of Jesus
and have made Him the butt of ridicule.
The
poem that follows, comes from deep within my being, (and while not being
about you or me) speaks up for the voiceless victims the world over, past,
present and future.
