@ThalliKoran God is not last hope, its a only hope. why do you think christians are most believed religion? Because they lost so much in spreading word of christ. normally when this is mention people think of crusade but its not. over the centuries millions of christians lost their lives spreading the love of christ. For this women he has send two miracles. 1. he send a believer Hutu as her neighbor 2. he has send angels to confused soldiers to think that its a door to the closet.

why doesnt he lean forward a little more? creeper...

immaculee is such an inspriation to me

[ThalliKoran]

I think for people who were in Rwanda in 1994 and were going through this, God is your last hope. I can not believe that this girl forgives the people who in inhumane ways killed all of those people. What happened there is so terrible it's beyond words. The humanity at it's worst, happening to people who are more innocent than a new-born baby. My compassion goes out to all the victims of this terrible event.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but I am sure that a very very large percentage of those people who died prayed as much as she did or as much as they could and she's saying God chose to save her and let all those others die? 

[TheBoybyo]

This all happened because the belgians and germans label the hutu and tutsi

[SkyHye22]

@questionsleadtotruth No, this occurred because the Belgians preferred the Tutsi's because they resembled white people.

[questionsleadtotruth]

All of this happened simply because the Belgians preferred the Hutu (spelling) because they were fairer in skin and taller? ???

@intheechoofangels

LOL yeah right. Get off your little soapbox and quite pretending forgiveness actually does anyhting for anyone. Its a self-serving selfish concept that people use when they can't do anything in reality.

And not everyone believes in your god, sweetheart. That's very arrogant of you. Anyways, its not like your god is exactly forgiving:

"The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance; he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked."

- Psalms

[intheechoofangels]

@loner1878 : that kind of mindset is the reason for so much hatred in the world today. And obviously, your sense of rationale in EXTREMELY flawed. True forgiveness is NOT doing nothing. True forgiveness starts with the victim giving over their pain, bitterness and hatred to God (aka, Jesus Christ) and saying "Lord, take this. I surrender my unforgiving spirit to you, for you have said "vengeance is Mine and I will repay". And God then starts to heal and restore you heart...
