We should instead be punishing the commanders and others who abducted them and terrorized these children. This is such and urgent topic that I urge you to think about the commanders who put these children up to such terrible crimes. They may be the actual perpetrators instead of the children because they are the ones who have taken children, stripped them, and turned them into war
Will we choose the evil approach and take out our frustration on those who mistreat us? Will we choose the "spiritually neutral" approach to ignore them and hope things improve? Will we choose the godly approach to pray for them and show love to them that Jesus taught in Matthew 5:44?
These children were abducted from their families, and forced to do unimaginable tasks. Unicef.org said “The LRA has waged a decade-long guerilla war in northern Uganda and has abducted nearly 10,000 children to be used as soldiers, porters and sex slaves” (para. 5). These small innocent children were taken from their home towns and villages to carry these hardships on their backs. Combatants are unwillingly forced into battle. Adolescents were used to perform various jobs.

In Uganda the children are usually kidnapped or abducted by force. Usually children in Uganda are used as soldiers to fight off government forces or attack certain places they feel the need to attack. After children commit massacres, they are told by leaders like Kony 's deputy, Vincent Ottthat that what they did was not all bad because it was for a bigger purpose and that they would do a ritual that will cleanse them from all crimes they had done (CITE).
(Matthew 7:21-23). When people are concerned more with their families, friends, beauty, strength, and worldly possessions than with pleasing God He will declare depart from me (unto death?). With faith and believing in the words of the Bible man can be saved, and acquire a desire to complete good deeds. As Everyman is forsaken by his Kindred, Cousins, Goods, and Fellowship he begins to gain Knowledge and learns of Confession and this causes his Good Deeds to become stronger meaning he gains a desire to complete Good Deeds and please God.
