Have
you ever wondered about the tsunami like tide of evil that is
sweeping the Globe? Are you staggered by evil's power to shred
society, collapsing nations? Not a Newscast goes by without the
mention of corruption. And do you notice how no race, gender or age group
is exempt from the power and influence of evil? It ruins families. It
destroys homes. And most of all, it causes humans to do all they can
to ignore it, despite the way evil corrodes the quality of everyone's
life.
On
the other hand, those who refuse to call evil for what it is, have
grand plans for healing society's ills. Space does not allow a full
discourse of the “cures” that have so far been explored by
secularists but there are a few that are worth noting. I've already mentioned the worship of science. Another of the
more infamous secular efforts might include:
- We were told that the combination of wide-spread, higher education and stupendous wealth would bring us emotional health and relational well-being.
Skyrocketing depression and rampant anxiety among the educated and
wealthy have proven the lie in that claim as well. The most recent
study I've seen (spring 2012) shows that the higher one's education
and wealth, the deeper the person's level of dishonesty and lack of
compassion for others. As well, the higher one's education and
wealth, the greater the use of mood altering chemicals.
Pagans and
atheists are surprised by that.
