Something has gone very wrong with our culture. We no longer accept the fact that accidents and tragedies happen, that people die everyday. The reaction to everything now is: How do we fix this? What did the government do wrong? Who can we sue? Who is to blame?
Our culture used to be one that looked to God in times of trouble. Now we look to government. If there is a shooting somewhere, guns must be the problem and they must be banned. If there is a reckless driver, it’s the SUV’s fault and they must be outlawed. If people are fat, it’s the food industry’s fault, and it must be regulated. A bridge collapses and government must raise taxes. A mine caves in and the mining industry must be re-examined. A few people entered into risky mortgages, so the government must step in and bail them out.
Has Government become the modern day "Tower of Babble?" Has man become so powerful that he can control everything, including the climate? One wonders when God will say, enough is enough. One wonders what it will take to bring this nation back to her knees to once again become the nation of "In God We Trust."
