The short speech just says a lot about the religious circumstances surrounding the decade long kidnapping, rape, torture and imprisonment of the 3 girls.
The story was one of the biggest stories of the year. I imagine it was in the top 10. It was huuuuuuge.
Okay, Mrs. Night was a Christian believer for one and so was Mr. Castro I assume, and he kidnapped, tortured, raped, imprisoned Mrs. Knight and 2 others girls in a dungeon for 11 years. Knight specifically said in her speech that Mr. Castro would go to church "every Sunday", come home from services, "every Sunday" and torture them "every Sunday", and that went on for 11 years. It's to hideous to think about.
Mrs Knights speech definitely makes it look like the torture was tied to Mr. Castro's church going activities.
You know the girls prayed every day for the rescue that never came too, I mean what Christian wouldn't under the circumstances.
Okay, so there's the 'why didn't God lift a finger to help them' angle and for all you guardian angel believers, there's the 'why didn't an angel come and rescue the 3 poor girls'... there are questions about the empty promises religion (Christianity in this case) offers. And, there's also the question about why Mr. Castro was able to act out in the hideous manor without one person getting suspicious in all those 11 years. You do realize Mr. Castro probably got away with his activities for so long specifically because he went to church every Sunday don't you? I think because of the constant religious propaganda we are subjected to every day, people are just less likely to suspect someone of hideously criminal behavior if the person goes to church, or say's they're religious or whatever.
Hey, the media never asked about the religious aspects of this case but when a priest parks his car and walks up to an auto accident and prays, it's a miracle on a Biblical scale with angels appearing and disappearing into thin air and everything.
And, there are other issues I guess.
