Adam discusses the child sacrifice in Uganda. He claims that it is the result of the myth of redemptive violence. That myth claims violence is an efficient way of solving our problems and bringing prosperity to our lives. The BBC reports that in Uganda, which is modernizing very quickly, wealthy business people are having children sacrificed by witch doctors, believing that it will bring them economic prosperity. The only people challenging this myth are priests and pastors. They do this because they do not believe in the myth of redemptive violence; rather they believe in the truth of Jesus - that love and compassion are the ways to bring about true community. Salvation comes when we live into the resurrected live of Jesus that doesn't believe in violence, but forgiveness, peace, and reconciliation.
