A young man opens fire at a middle school, killing teachers and children. Another young man goes to a shopping mall and starts firing at random. Yet, still, another young man goes into a movie theater and proceeds to massacre everyone in sight! My question is why? What would possess someone to go on a shooting rampage and kill civilians for no apparent reason? With no regard for life?
The Scopes Trial of 1925 was won on a progressive premise of a "theory" that says man was developed from a lower level of animals. Despite the fact that Scientists dispute that theory, it has been accepted as scientific fact by society as well. From that trial, a host of other disputes came to surface as the Government gained control of education in America, the banning of pray in school and the not teaching the Bible, in what has also been accepted as a "Separation of Church and State" clause that is not found anywhere in any of our founding documents. Completely dismissing the fact that the American school was established as a means to read the Bible and teach puritan values. The shared Judeo/Christian values that once encircled our diverse society has been replaced by secularism. Most especially in our higher learning schools that were established by religious leaders for the very purpose of teaching Biblical values!
In the 1960's the deviant Marxist ideals of Herbert Mancuse brought about the sexual revolution in America. Although Marxism had already creepted into our society long before this, it came to the forefront during this time. His ideas brought about the notion of relativism, with an emphasis I would add in the cultural aspect. This movement brought about the breakup of the family unit, and the challenge of the Capitalistic economic structure. The "subservient" culture class became the head of the movement, and challenged every aspect of the American structure.
The 1970's brought about Economic and Foreign Policy disaster in the form of Anti-Semite President Jimmy Carter. His domestic policies of tax and spend buried the middle class and job creation, and sided with radicals in International affairs in the always unstable Middle East. It also brought about a case that would change the course of American History. In 1973 the Supreme Court of the United States took it upon themselves to play God and impose a personal moral verdict which has led to infanticide. The case was Roe vs. Wade. The subject was Abortion. The problem with the case is that it was subjected to case law interpretation, instead of Constitutional law. If the latter had been used, the case would have been thrown out and/or dismissed. Was this a violation of the Government's own use of "Separation of Church & State"? This case was clearly a moral issue, in which the State stepped its bounds when it determined to assume when life began. A truly ethical violation.
The 1980's brought about domestic prosperity in the form of lower inflation, Inventions and job creation from newly elected President, Ronald Reagan. However by this time, both parents were forced to work to provide for their families because of the destructive policies of the last administration. This produced the "Latchkey" kid syndrome, where more children came home to empty houses after school.
The 1990's produced a false assumption of prosperity, but upon future studies, shows that the Clinton Presidency was nothing more than a popularity contest at the expense of the American people. This Millennium has brought us full circle to the Godless beliefs of the past 100 hundred years or so. Add on massive spending, continuous wars, an infestation of drug use/abuse, government & societal irresponsibility, God given and Constitutional rights being taken away, greed, and a lacking sense of Community. One can sense the world spinning out of control! We see it every day in the news and in our culture. Is it really any wonder the kids of today are going around killing people at whim? Who or what is to stop them from doing it? The Church and its Biblical moral absolutes have been silenced and made irrelevant, even though the past illustrates that Biblical standards helps a society. So if a society does not want whats good for them, why are we so shocked when a kid goes into an elementary school and fires at point range at little kids? After all, in today's ethical relativism, isn't that his "right"? If America does not come back to the moral standards it once had, I don't see how the generations of tomorrow will prosper. How do you see America and her future?
