IN THE WAKE OF THE MASS SHOOTINGS THAT HAVE ROCKED OUR COUNTRY,
Only Way for us now is to Rejuvenate True Religious Consciousness in our Schools, in our media, in our Society.
No way remains for us, no set of laws or outward punishments, can ever hope to protect us from our own selves except to reaffirm what alone can govern our inner selves. Religion alone teaches both the Threat and the Promise that comes with a healthy regard for the Fear of God, a fear which has forever been the restraint on our darker tendencies.
Our society in its rush toward modernity has, for these past fifty years, taught Americans to cast off their personal fear of God, of the dread of His punishment and the hope for His reward. The individual sense of shame is gone, as is any certainty of a life and destination after our physical death and of how our present actions can enhance or degrade that eternal experience from which there is no escape.
Moral education must precede and act as the foundation for all other learning, because without this, nothing whatsoever can prevent us from committing acts of wickedness and shame.
Indeed, the very use of words such as "shame", "wickedness", and "evil" are gone from the common lexicon. They must be reinstated, first in our hearts, then in our mouths and hands.
