A god complex?

As more information comes out about the shooter in the Virginia Tech massacre, one thing has become clear to me: Mr. Cho thought very HIGHLY of himself.

No doubt we will hear from the media that this man was down-trodden by society. No doubt we will hear that he had low self esteem and that if only he had been affirmed, this would not have happened. This will probably be twisted somehow to be portrayed as being the fault of successful people who have ignored those who have not achieved.

On the contrary, it seems that Mr. Cho thought highly enough of himself to take upon himself the right to choose who would live or die...a choice reserved for God Himself. Only a hyper-arrogant person chooses to take the lives of people he has never met for grievances they never committed. Only extreme hubris causes a man to take upon himself the right to carry out "justice" for the perceived trespasses of others when the God of the Bible says, "Vengeance is mine".

Don't be fooled by the liberal media's take on this man. This killer was taking the serpent's lie "You shall be as gods" to its logical conclusion. This was no man with a damaged ego. He follows in a whole line of others who have had a "god-complex"...Cain, Lamech, Nero, Hitler, Stalin, Harris and Klebold (Columbine shooters), etc.

When will it end?

Our hearts go out today to the Virginia Tech family as we witness this horrific act perpetrated on their campus. It is hard for most people to imagine what would drive someone to commit an act like this. One can only guess that the perpetrator was filled with rage and hatred as well as a probable sense of the meaninglessness of life.

What I will say is that we in our country are reaping the whirlwind. We have propagated the lie that human beings are nothing but the product of blind random chance. We have shown a cavalier disregard for human life by continued aborting of thousands of babies daily. We have been set adrift morally claiming that we cannot be certain about truth. We are reaping the results of moral relativism.

Do we really think that we can teach people that they are nothing more than the products of time and chance and think that they will retain their hope? Do we really think that we can continue killing unborn babies and expect people to think that they have intrinsic value? Can we sever the ties to any objective moral code (i.e. the Ten Commandments) and expect that people will act with justice toward one another? Certainly this criminal is solely responsible for his/her own actions. However, it is time we wake up to the fact that we are raising up a whole generation of hopeless young people and we need to reverse course.

These events should serve as a wake-up call to America. Ideas have consequences! Jesus Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. There is no hope except in Him! Wake Up America!

We are praying for Virginia Tech. Today, all Americans are Hokies.
