Evangelical warlord in Africa

 

“All people fighting say that they do so for God,” she responded, with tears in her eyes. “But if they are stealing, raping, killing, they do not understand God. It is not God they work for.”

 

The above statement was taken from an interview with a woman in Africa when asked about  a 'warlord' who is a pastor in the Pentecostal church there.

The pastor has been accused of raping and massacring thousands. 'He prefers to be referred to as “liberator of the people”, and denies all allegations against him.'

What are your thoughts on this man? Specifically, do you think the man actually believes he is doing 'gods work' or do you believe he is using religion as an umbrella for chaos and murder?

IIRC, he involved in something involving a ethnic group (Tutsi(sp?.).) in Rwanda.

 I'd have to look more into it though.
