There was something so dark about the recent slaughter of soldiers at Fort Hood. That any person can be so alienated and misguided as to perform such a horrific act is deeply troubling within itself. And now the “Christmas Bomber.” Willing to sacrifice his very life to take the lives of 300 others – all for the sake of his ideology – his “faith.”

But the true tragedy here is to watch how our leaders are responding in political correctness to something that should not be politicized. This is murder and attempted murder plain and simple. It is religious terrorism that should not be excused or coddled in any way.

To look for anything different here than what obviously IS – is sick in ideology and values. When we can longer identify murder – without looking for the extenuating circumstances to excuse it – we have simply lost our way.

I wrote this year in Curious Journey that I believe “political correctness” will be our downfall as a nation, These kinds of things are what I was referring to. And these gyrations extend well beyond murder to stealing, coveting, lying, and speaking words of double-talk and false-witness. We are becoming lawless because we are rejecting the Law-Giver.

The Living God alone is humanity’s faithful compass. He is our Life-Giver. He is our Redeemer. He is Friend to all of humanity.

I am deeply disturbed about what I am seeing from the other gods.
