Women in India raped, murdered, and secretly buried
A temple maintenance man in India is under arrest, after he testified of hundreds of women who were allegedly raped, murdered, and secretly buried around the small religious town of Dharmasthala.
The BBC reports that nearly 100 bone fragments of human remains have already been found at two spots the man identified.
The employee says he worked for the temple administration between 1995 and 2014, when he was allegedly coerced into burying the bodies.
In 2025, 950 attacks on Christians in India
For the first five months of 2025, Open Doors reports 950 attacks on Christians in India, which accounts for a rate of 2,300 per year.
According to this reliable source, “These incidents included attacks, threats to abandon the Christian faith, excommunication, social boycotts, halting prayer services and church closures. Throughout India, 200 cases have been filed against pastors and believers based on fabricated conversion allegations.”
India rated as the worst in The Worldview’s international morality index — or the Evil Index — released last month.
India rated high in persecuting Christians, corruption perceptions, as well as supporting abortion and homosexuality.
Most evil nations vs. Best behaved nations
The highest rated nations for immorality were India, North Korea, Mexico, Columbia, Vietnam, Pakistan, Nepal, Myanmar, Somalia, Nicaragua, China, and Nigeria.
Best nations on the list were Armenia, Eastern European nations, Israel, Japan, and Singapore.
Among European nations, Russia, Greenland, and Belgium were rated poorly. Switzerland and Ireland rated best on this International Morality Index.
The nation of Chile lost the most ground over the last eight years.
The country was rated at the top of the morality index eight years ago, and has dropped to the 66th position, due largely to approving abortion in 2017, and adopting homosexual faux-marriage in 2022.
The International Morality Index considers nations on the basis of the sixth, seventh, and eighth commandments of God’s law as well as the persecution of Christians.
John 1:29 says, “But let us remember, this is why Jesus came. . . John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, ‘Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!’”
Kenyan pro-lifers object to Bill Gates’ abortion kill pills
Kenyan pro-lifers have issued a petition addressed to Kenya’s Ministry of Health, complaining of IPAS Africa Alliance’s distribution of abortion kill pills throughout the country.
The petition accuses IPAS of breaking Kenya’s laws, and flooding schools and pharmacies with the kill pill.
The Citizen Go petition notes that “Kenya’s laws protect unborn life, but IPAS is exploiting loopholes. They hand out abortion pills without scans, prescriptions, or medical supervision.”
IPAS Africa Alliance is reportedly funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
Mexican drug cartel leader pled guilty
“Be sure your sins will find you out.” That’s what Number 32:23 warns.
The founder of the largest drug cartel in the world, Mexican cartel kingpin Isamel “El Mayo” Zambada, pled guilty to federal charges yesterday, reports the Associated Press.
He is charged with organizing a drug smuggling operation into the US, called the Sinaloa cartel.
His partner Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman was found guilty of similar charges in 2019. The Mexican Sinoloa cartel is known for assassinations, tortures, and kidnappings — terrorizing parts of the southern border areas of Mexico and Texas.
Today, first time home purchase costs double rent
For the first time in almost 20 years, the price of buying an entry-level home is double the expense of renting.
Austin, Denver, Las Vegas, and Phoenix are some of the worst places for unaffordable properties for first-time buyers.
5% of Canadian deaths due to euthanasia
Canada’s Doctor Assisted Deaths now account for 5% of total deaths for the nation — more than the deaths attributed to diabetes and Alzheimer’s combined.
Persons suffering solely from some sort of mental illness will be able to gain state medical help to kill themselves on March 17, 2027.
In related news, the United Kingdom Bill on euthanasia has passed the House of Commons, and now has been presented to the House of Lords.
United Kingdom legislature to dismiss jail time for violent offenders
And finally, the United Kingdom government has come up with a plan to reduce prison overcrowding by dismissing jail time altogether for thousands of sex offenders, drug dealers, and violent criminals.
The Sentencing Bill will be considered next month by parliament, reports The Times.
Exodus 22:1 provides God’s wisdom in such matters. “If a man steals an ox or a sheep, and slaughters it or sells it, he shall restore five oxen for an ox and four sheep for a sheep.”
