America the Ugly

When mortality is no longer perceived as reality, people can forfeit their sense of life. That desensitization of self to the immanency of life and life beyond, frees us to assume a “Godlikeness” that permits a lifestyle that even the Universe itself cries out against.

Lawlessness and immorality become the norm. Civility and community are consumed in the chaos. Hence, we have America the Ugly.

Because we are no long are willing to accept “right” and “wrong” but rather a non-judgmental posture; our foundation for order, civility and respect loses a firm ground to erect Community.

So, take a long hard look at your community now, your school, your workplace and your home; no place is safe, nor is there a sense of “safety” anywhere. You cannot assume a neighbor will act neighborly. Our country has become a “war zone” before our very eyes. Unless we seek life, the death of our nation is closer than any of us are willing to believe. It cannot continue on the current path. We are self-destructing.

We are a nation of Laws. We are expert at creating laws, but they will not solve our problem so long as we are bent toward unrighteousness.
