There are people who read their Bibles and pray every day.
Then there are people who read their Bibles and prey every day.
The Bible is filled with stories about predators. Joseph preyed on the Egyptians. Solomon preyed on the Canaanites then on his own people. Many characters in Jesus’s parables prey on the weak, the poor, and the marginalized.
The ruling class during Jesus’s time preyed on the masses using the temple system, taxation, and state-sanctioned executions. Nothing has really changed.
Predators are usually people we look up to, people we respect, people we trust, people we idolize.
Thus, they are able to take advantage of us, betray us, dehumanize us... We know them. They need to be stopped.
Two of the world's most dangerous predators are popular heads of state. Both are also sexual predators.
They need to be stopped. Right now!
