Maryam Amir – When Hell is a mercy God protect us

Like, why would a merciful God even create something as intense

as *? And I want to tell you the moment it clicked for me was

in a biology class in college. The professor started speaking about

this man who every single month, once a month, he would ask his

family to leave the house and his wife was transcribed to say that

he was so sweet he would clean the entire house from top to bottom

and like, bleach everything. At the same time as this is going on

in her life, there were a set of serial killings where they were so

gruesome, the murders were so gruesome, and because they were so

horrific, they would always have a closed casket ceremony so people

wouldn't actually see the body in the casket, but one family

actually decided that they wanted to see their daughter, so they

opened the casket, and they found that she didn't have her body

there. This led to them starting to look at the cases that were in

that city. Finally, they convicted this husband who had cleaned the

entire home, and they found that the reason why he would send his

family away once a month was because that would be when he

would bring in the body of the victim and he would eat it.

That was so horrifying for me to hear. And in that moment, I was

like, This is why * exists, because there is no level of jail

time or the death sentence that could possibly give justice back

to all of those victims and their families, and I think about that

every single day, looking at the genocide, ethnic cleansing and

horrific commutilation of Palestinian premature babies,

of children of an entire population believing in *

is a mercy, a.
