Osama bin Laden is dead. Is this a time for rejoicing? No doubt he was an evil man, a true believer not unlike Hitler being a true believer in whatever his gods spoke to him. He caused the deaths of tens of thousands. But to celebrate in the streets?
Actually, it reminds me of the great sadness he has caused. But he was a human being. To rejoice in his death seems wrong. It seems more to me that it is a call for prayer. Pray for peace. Pray for the true God to speak to these people who are out chasing their mental/emotional shadows and leaving death, destruction and oppression in their wake. Yet these people give a voice to the oppressed. Where is our witness to the oppressed? Like Jesus or like Osama? Why let people like him speak for the oppressed?
He is dead. Now what? Shall we pray?
