Craziness Rampant

If you readers feel as I feel, you shake your head and wonder, 'What's going on?'  Increasing terrorists'  attacks throughout the world, stark-bitter divisions between races, angry attacks over political philosophies, eroding respect for authority (parents, teachers clergy and the law). Out-of-control abuse of prescription drugs and illegal drugs. Nations threatening other nations with nuclear annihilation. Fear and anxiety running rampant across this America we love. We now observe 'escape-entertainment' i.e., sports and performing arts in the midst of controversy as our countrymen become divided over protest, patriotism, respect for our American flag.

I cannot recall ANY former American President who failed to 'stay above the fray' and posture himself in a manner to attempt to heal conflicts and divisions within our country. Sadly, President Trump often initiates the 'fray' or he certainly fans the fire with inflammatory comments. If that's not disheartening enough, we have the likes of a minister (Pat Robertson) who obviously suffers from delusional thoughts claiming that a madman's mass-killings of concert attending Americans happened because people are disrespecting President Trump. Robertson also suggested that NFL players kneeling in protest during the National Anthem upsets God. This is in line with the late Pastor Jerry Falwell who once blamed natural disasters on gays and the Reverend John Hagee claiming that the Hurricane Katrina disaster hit New Orleans because it's a sinful place. This kind of rhetoric drives skeptics away from a relationship with Jesus. It is apparent to me that some preachers have a hellava time getting out of the Old Testament and embracing the Good News.

If speaking in behalf of Jesus Christ by stating that our Lord is responsible for the deaths of innocent people is NOT Blasphemy, I don't know what blasphemy is! Aside from bearing false witness, these men are dangerous fools.

As for me, I believe my country lost its way when young babies were slaughtered at Sandy Hook Elementary School and a nation did NOTHING to address its growing gun violence problem.

I'm not sure which is craziest, the actions of man or mans' explanations for his actions.

Heal Our Nation
