A Medieval Theologian on Violence
The Devil whispers thus: “It is them! They’re the aggressors! They deserve this! They’re the threat! They have to be dealt with in this way!”
What his followers don’t understand is that he’s whispering the same thing to their “enemies”, and is in fact orchestrating a reunion of sorts. Not between them and the innocents they self-righteously slaughter, but between them and the prideful, angry murderers of all persuasions (aka: excuses).
