Article: Hay Alguien Detras Toda la Maldad?

This article in other words means "is there someone behind all of the bad things happening in the world?" This article relates religion with politics due to the fact that people throughout the world blame the fact that the Devil is causing all of the evil and murders in the world. One example given from the text is the genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994. Many civilians there were injured and killed. This can also be related to the drug trafficking conflicts and homicide rates in Central America, since People believe a malevolent spirit corrupts the people inside of them, making them into people they're not. Just for someone's religion, they believe that a human being doesn't rule the world, yet someone above our capacity, which is god, which has led to many controversies through the years whether or not God exists. A question within this situation is "Why are the believers the essential element to understanding the history of a religion?"I can answer this question by saying that believers of their religion can imply their beliefs and demonstrate how faithful they are to be a good follower. An example of this is how a man kept his hair long because of following his religion, while other officials cut it off, without showing any respect of one's religion. Believers can also turn out to be great since they give the culture of their religion through their actions and traditions, while it demonstrates whether or not it's faithful to follow.
