I think that most moral people can find common ground in the belief that kidnapping children is wrong. One might be tempted to say it's more than wrong -- it's just flat out despicable, and perhaps even sociopathic.
Unless you're christian.
In some misguided attempt to help people that seem to have no luck at all, the parties of god have taken to stealing children from Haiti without even bothering to make sure they were orphans first. It seems as many as one-third of these kids have living relatives; but that didn't matter to some American baptists that were caught trying to smuggle the kids out of the country.
I can't help but wonder what makes these criminals tick. It's almost like the faithful know they're acting immorally, but they don't care. Maybe if they believed they were solely responsible for their own actions, they wouldn't act like jackasses -- just a thought.

I believe they thought what they were doing was right and that these children were going to have a better life in America. I also believe they are completely ignorant in the way they went about it. Yes giving orphaned children homes and families is a great gesture but honestly, who just takes children? What were they thinking? I am sure there are plenty of orphaned children in Haiti that need homes. Children that have been "classified" as orphaned. Were they so blinded by their mission that they could not take the time to find out if the children had families? One of the older of the boys even told them that he had living family. Another of the kids told reporters that they told her she was going to a summer camp. WTH... with the 2000 children that go missing from the streets of Haiti each year and now that they are estimating 500,000 children are homeless or orphaned because of the quake, human trafficking is becoming a huge problem in the aftermath. Kudos for the government of Haiti in attempting to keep their children safe from these people.
