ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the assault on God by the torturers who in creating the image of lesser human beings, humanoids, to be tortured, also attack the nature, essence and ways of acting of the God of Christians. It explores the theological possibilities of a God who is currently a prisoner of human discourse and violence. The chapter then provides a link between the theological praxis of those years in Latin America and the current climate of globalization where the same theological reflections are absent. The gender-led theological writings of the late Argentinean theologian gave a foundation to questions about decency and indecency in political theology and the need to theologize on places outside parliaments, ideas of presidential candidates and relations of nations and political ideas. The Peruvian theologian Gustavo Gutierrez has pointed out theology is 'a second act' whereas praxis/action is the first act, an action that precedes theological thinking and not the other way around.
