Maybe We Should Try Something Else?

 Kylee Zempel notes that A Culture That Celebrates Dismembering Children In The Womb Can't Understand Why It's Afflicted With Mass Shootings. Zempel says that we are all in shock over this, which is true, and we are all asking "Why?"

Why would any person march into an elementary school and open fire on innocents? And why can’t we overcome such evil?

She points out that for the Left, the answer is guns. If we just took away the guns, then nobody would die again. But as everybody on the right has pointed out until we are blue in the face, guns are not the answer. Even if we could, and we can not get rid of all the guns, people would find another way to murder each other. After all, if not guns, then knives, swords, spears, boomerangs, as well as rocks, fists and feet, the list of potential weapons is seemingly endless. So if not guns, then what can we do?

If Uvalde, Texas, is a tree, this culture of death is the forest. This environment of nonchalant killing is the biome that incubates and grows the most inhumane of humans, who have zero regard for life and bear the nasty fruit of that moral indifference in the form of violence and rape and murder.

It’s the sickest of ironies that the Texas tragedy interrupted the left’s mental breakdown upon learning that their contrived “right to abortion” looks to be ending. After the leak of the draft opinion of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, demonstrators harassed and threatened Supreme Court justices outside their homes, sang “Thank God for abortion,” and threw Molotov cocktails into pregnancy resource centers to burn them. Biden and others admitted that abortion kills a “child.”

A few months before that, on the steps of the Supreme Court, abortion activists chanted “Abortion! Pills! Forever!” — all while laughing and dramatically popping pills to symbolize the lethal chemicals that kill human life in the womb. The corporate media routinely suggest that babies would be better off dead than poor.

You have to wonder if these people can even hear themselves? I mean, it may be that a woman who is pregnant may feel there is no other option, but to celebrate the killing of an innocent child? What kind of people do such things?

Keep in mind that except for rare circumstances, the woman took positive actions that eventuated in her becoming pregnant. Neither the woman, nor the man involved in the pregnancy is innocent. Only the child is innocent. How can what is in effect the execution of an innocent person be justified?

This culture is much deeper than abortion, though. That barbaric ritual is in many ways just another piece of rotten fruit from the same Godless tree. It’s in rejecting the Creator’s authority and the truth that He made every human being in His own image and for His glory, not our own, that our society embraces death.

After all, if there is no God who assigns value to human life, we really are nothing more than aimless clumps of cells without worth or eternal purpose. In the name of liberation and rationalism, we’ve instructed our children, who have instructed their children, to believe this. You can be anything you want to be. You can do anything you want to do. And you don’t answer to anyone.

Ah, so Zempel has identified the real problem at the heart of not only school shootings, but pretty much every other pathology of mankind: we insist on being our own gods. We insist on doing things our own way, and reject the advice of the one who already knows where our efforts will end.  We have broken the First Commandment, and have reaped the curse of death. And here is where I disagree with Zempel, who paints us as permanently lost. But I do believe in the salvation that Christ died to give us. If we humble ourselves, and submit to the authority of the One Who Created us, I believe we may be forgiven. Maybe it is time we tried something different.
