What happened to those children and teachers happened not because
of God or Satan. This happened because of a mentally ill, insane person that knew he could kill these people
because they were defenseless.
How many times have you seen someone go into for instance an army base and try
the same thing? They
don’t because they know these people can defend themselves, so they seek out
the defenseless. They choose to attack defenseless people because they are on a mission of misery. It doesn’t
matter what their motives are, what matters is that there is opportunity for these insane people because the
defenseless are exercising their freedoms. In a free society we have the freedom to educate, or worship,
or to walk around unarmed because this sort of thing isn’t the normal. If it were it would be happening
every day and we would no
longer be living in a free society, we would be living in a society that had so
much violence it took away our freedom and we all had to assume the worst might happen and arm ourselves,
our children, our teachers,
our ministers etc. That is not the society we live in, so we are at most any
given time or place, defenseless.
Blame the evil, insane person that did this, not God or Satan.
What we must now do is decide how to protect our defenseless citizens. We know
how to protect our
country, now how do we protect our defenseless citizens that want to be able to
enjoy the freedom
to attend their churches and schools, jobs and malls? The answer is we can’t
unless we want to
become a nation under guard instead of a nation under God.
This is where faith comes in, if you have faith that good will
prevail and that we as a nation have privileged freedoms that must be protected, then you know that with freedom
there is risk. There is the risk that some evil person will take advantage of our freedoms, that
some evil person will try to gain fame by doing evil and that good will always prevail over evil
because at some point
there will be a day of judgment.
Our hearts are aching, our minds are in a state of disbelief over this tragedy but our faith in God and good is not shaken by this attack on our freedoms if we as Christians hold to our beliefs under the most trying of times.
