Romeo Dallaire on the Existence of God

“After one of my many presentations following my return from Rwanda, a Canadian Forces padre asked me how, after all I had seen and experienced, I could still believe in God. I answered that I know there is a God because in Rwanda I shook hands with the devil. I have seen him, I have smelled him and I have touched him. I know the devil exists, and therefore I know there is a God.”

- Lt. Gen. Romeo Dallaire [Shake Hands With the Devil: The Failure of Humanity in Rwanda, 2003]
