Making Sense of Evil (Virginia Tech Massacre)

Razd:I (Rob) have never said that science is immoral. I have said that science is ammoral.If you want to see a good example of the pyschological conditions exhibited by Cho, you can look no further than any person who has become angry. And yes, that includes me. Don't think I am unaware...It is the potential of every person.If the anger is fed, then the delusions and paranoia grow. It is not a matter of kind but degree. Obviously, Cho continued to ignore the voice of reason within himself and allowed his delusins to become reality to the point where action was the only way to assert Himself. The only thing stopping him was the truth. He ignored that...Everytime you and I endeavor to take action and set things right, we are (in some minor degree) doing the same thing by seing the opposition as the problem. Minority or majority has little to do with it.Anger is the enemy. And Razd... listen to me very carefully... vitriol is not something exclusive to 'fundamentalist' Christians.I am going to say this very carefully and gently. It is very often the 'homosexual community', or those who otherwise see themselves as 'finally free' (to live as they please) who exhibit some of these symptoms. And I am not singling out the homosexual community as you are doing with the 'fundamentalist label. That pretty much describes every human being.Alec Baldwin anyone...?The common denominator is anger towards another and Jesus said it is murder. The sin being essential and manifest in the heart, and not only the action. Cho had to think it first, and that was where the battle for his mind was played out. He gave into the hate, and the actions followed. A copycat here in California yeilded to reason in the end. I was actually rolling through Yuba County the next day (yesturday).It is anger and hatred within that is the enemy. What utterly disturbs me, is the attempt by Razd and others to label ('fundamentalist') and look to a scapegoat for their problems. I have never suggested such a thing. For example, you have never heard me label homosexuals as 'queers' or 'fags', and then blame my own problems or society on the condition of a few others. This issue of unholy anger, is one all men struggle with.But when someone comes along with 'righteous indignation', it is immediately trumpeted by those perceiving threat, to be under the catagory I have been describing.Perhaps that is why it was said (I think Billy Graham said it), that the problem with 'Righteous Indignation', is that it is often 10% righteous, and 90% indignation.I try as hard as I can to walk that line. And I despise myself when I do fall into the other catagory.But this bold faced attempt here by Razd, to label every solicitation for clear thought, and every sharp rebuke, as the Son of the demonic activity at work in each of us, is itself, the essence of bigotry and elitism.Let's all calm down here...Edited by Rob, : No reason given.

Razd:You see? You're exibiting the paranoia now. And that is not a condemnation...Please listen to me:http://EvC Forum: Making Sense of Evil (Virginia Tech Massacre) -->EvC Forum: Making Sense of Evil (Virginia Tech Massacre)In the above liked post, I said it is something we all suffer from...Rob:I can demonstrate further my analysis of this issue and that I do not hold one culture responsible and point fingers of blame. It is a short excerpt from an aritcle of mine which I do not think is posted elsewhere here at EVC if my menory serves...'A Critique of Savage Philosophy': Edited by Rob, : No reason given.
