Gun control will not cure this. Stricter laws will not cure this. Stricter enforcement may not even cure this. The only cure is a healthy society, a humble society; a society whose strong Christian heritage used to make it uncool to feed off others, uncool to boast, uncool to have a self-serving attitude; uncool to ignore the Golden Rule.<br />This is nothing new. The pattern has been repeated since the days of antiquity. When a society finds and abides in God, health, peace and affluence follow; when it forgets God, disaster is not far behind.<br />We as a nation have forgotten God.</i>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-63131590914525876242012-12-15T16:44:24.586-06:002012-12-15T16:44:24.586-06:00One more: Evil as a Social Construct

What profoundly sad news this week from both coasts. When people in the news ask why? My question in return is why not? If we have no ultimate standard to appeal to in our society, and are simply left to our own self-declared authority, then how is a massacre any different than a day at the beach? I am not claiming that I am any better or beyond evil, since I share in the same fallen humanity, but the Law of God acts as a restraint, and if it is not taught to our children then we are abusing them and are more likely to grow up despairing in the meaninglessness of it all, so why not be bad? What is bad anyway if there is no real truth, but a social construct and nothing more.</i><br /><br />read more at the above linkJim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26981669.post-18163894558527267042012-12-15T16:37:47.842-06:002012-12-15T16:37:47.842-06:00Albert Mohler article: Rachel Weeping for Her Chil...Albert Mohler article: <a href="http://www.albertmohler.com/2012/12/14/rachel-weeping-for-her-children-the-massacre-in-connecticut/" rel="nofollow">Rachel Weeping for Her Children — The Massacre in Connecticut</a>Jim Peethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07649414726939918803noreply@blogger.com
