Many people like to think that we are, for the most part, civilized people in the world today… that we value life, family, community, peace, justice… But look at the world today. The amount of ‘senseless’ violence is staggering, both at home and abroad, We try to make excuses… but what about, what about… They voted for Hamas, so they must deserve it… they voted for Putin, so they must deserve it… we did to the Indians what Israel is doing to the Palestinians now, so it must be okay… they disobeyed God, so they must’ve deserved to all drown.
If that is the kind of ‘information’ that is wired into our DNA, maybe we really are all doomed to hell for eternity… even those who believe they have a get-out-jail-free card, and that their ‘savior’ is coming back with an iron rod to do more violence and make everything right.
