Here is the story of Dr. Myrna Cunningham in the Miskitu Indian border area between Honduras and Nicaragua. In December 1981, she was captured by Contra forces - elements of the same Contra forces supported by Pat Robertson, Tim LaHaye and Larry Lea - and was beaten and repeatedly raped. Dr. Cunning-ham described the bizarre rape scene during which the Miskitus were singing hymns and praying. The Contras who had been involved in the rape later reported that they had been told by their pastors that killing and even torture (when necessary to obtain vital information) were permissible in a just war against an anti-Christ system[3] - and, if in the heat of the moment excesses like rape should occur, well, that certainly wasnt good, but that if they later confessed their sins, God would forgive and understand; after all, the purpose for which they were fighting was just. Moral of the story? Any terrible deed can be justified in the name of God as long as it is your religion doing it.
