Rourke, it's stories like the ones you posted are the reasons I could care less what's on the news/newspaper. I go OUT OF MY WAY to avoid any sort of news, and come here and your jolly ass had to post that crap? WTF man?

lol

Anyway, your last post is very good. And makes you wonder, why the floop does the media have the need to sell 'news' rather than report truth?

Settle down girls.

The simple answer you seek NON is that people no longer fear God. People have gotten to the point where there aren't many mysteries to solve anymore so they foolishly dismiss God. I actually blame Chrisitianity in a way because Jesus is always portrayed as a wuss that forgives everything. They don't ever teach about Jesus' anger with mortals and the disgust he must have felt with certain human behaviors.

Do something stupid and keep on doing it? Not so much.

Then again, that's just my take... what do I know? I usually don't follow my own advice either. 😉

Why is the human race so incredibly fucked up?

Because, we don't get bothered by this video.

I don't know if this is the answer to the thread's question, and I'm sure it is not a palatable answer for most, but ...

1. Man is fallen.
2. Man is fallen because of eating from "the tree of knowledge of good and evil."
3. Having fallen, man is prohibited from eating of "the tree of life [and Godly wisdom]"
4. Man likes to construct out of his pride and self-love Towers of Babel.
5. The success of any Tower of Babel is doomed because of #1, #2, and #3.

What is a newspaper, if not a particularly loud-mouthed "Tower of Babel" institution?

What are all institutions of human information (science, education, purchasing power, expert evidence, etc.), if not Tower of Babels we've erected out of the ephemerality and fog of our pride?

Man believes too much in himself. And the more "successful" we are, as individuals, as nations, as cultures, the more that success reinforces and "justifies" that which cannot be justified.

Our pride.

Jesus taught love, yes.

But our pride has distorted that, too. We have taken the commandment of love to mean "I'm ok, and you're ok, and it's all about self-esteem and self-realization and self, self, self." We forget that "Love thy neighbor as thyself" comes only after "Love the Lord thy God with all your heart and all your mind and all your soul."

We've forgotten that Jesus also taught humility. We've forgotten that love is about following him, and that we can follow him only by obedience.

We can't love "our way". Our way comes only through eating the tree of knowledge, processed through human innards and shat out a human anus. No matter how much Chanel No. 5 we add, no matter how many vitamin supplements we might add, in cosmic terms, it's still shit.

True love comes only through the tree of life.

Him.



And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Romans 12:2 (NKJV)

Are these incidents new or just more readily able to be found because of the internet and media?

And I'm bummed nobody commented on my video. One thing that really bothers me about Americans is we stopped caring about Freedom and Privacy. Here's a good young woman who got violated by our government and she has no recourse. It's almost equivalent to having to write a letter to a rapist telling them that they're an asshole. A lot of good that's gonna do.

How many "famous" people say they are sorry, only AFTER they get caught. And you can tell that's really ALL they are sorry about, that they got caught.

God wants us to not only ask for HIS forgiveness, but then to REPENT (turn away from) our sin.
As the Bible says, it's not a license to sin...."All i have to do is say i'm sorry and ask for forgiveness and then i can go on doing it!"
It doesn't work that way, and God KNOWS if you truely man it or not. You can't "fool" HIM.

And lets face it, what DakotaT said is true. Mankind is always coming up with new ways to go lower and lower.
Man turning his back on God is what has caused all the evil in the world. People that do those horrible acts have the impression that there are no "absolutes". The old "If it feels good, do it" is the "law" of today. Want to kill, rape, whatever, just do it.
And yes, the fact we have access to this stuff that happens all over the world just makes it more obvious then maybe it once was. You have to stick your head inthe sand to NOT see how low man has gone.

Hey....maybe we can blame it on "evolution". Maybe we are just "evolving" backwards now. (sarcasm)

Regarding freedom and privacy, I think so many are desensitized by what little they were born into so when a little more is taken away, it's not as shocking as someone who's seen the freedoms we had decades prior.

A lot of the freedoms I've noticed being taken away are in light of the illusion of 'safety'. Kind of like the Government saying hey you'll be more safe if I can see you naked. Capiche? Well, ooohkaaaay.
