As an interfaith minister who has studied the occult for years, my heart goes out to you all. I hope you will consider these words:

Although there are truly dark forces on earth, from my research I've learned that above all, this universe was created by a loving, beneolvent force. Call it God, call it Life, call it whatever you want.

At this point, many would ask- why would a loving God allow this fucked up, horrific shit? The answer is Free Will. Why does your parent let you fall of the bike when learning to ride it? So you can learn.

Life is a school, the lesson is love.

These sad souls have strayed far from the path, and trust me, they will pay for what they've done.

Life is a school, the lesson is love.

I can definitely understand how the lesson for us is love, but what is the lesson for the poor innocent victims of torture? Most of them will not even have a chance to grow old enough to really exercise free will. Are they just props for our school? Like textbooks or chalk?

If you believe in reincarnation, which I've come to do, then it means that we all choose the lives we enter into.

Why would someone choose a life that horrible? Possibly so they can learn certain things from that experience. Another possibility is that they were the abuser in a past life, so their karma is to be the abused in this life.

This may sound like crap to you, but if you study various religions and other topics like near death experiences(people who have died and come back), they all claim that reincarnation is real, and that we select our life circumstances before we enter into it.

It's not easy for me to believe this, and I still have questions about it, but at least it makes a little more sense if you have knowledge about reincarnation and are open to it.

I do believe in reincarnation and am fascinated by the testimony of NDE people. I think your explanation makes sense. In a strange way it makes me feel less worried about tortured children, as crazy as that sounds. But still, these evil scum need to be stopped.

It doesn't sound crazy, it helps me too. Not just cause it sounds better, but because there's evidence to support it. Glad to help, best to you.
