Newtown, CT: Why?


World wonders about Adam Lanza's motive in Connecticut shooting - The Associated Press
"NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) -- The massacre of 26 children and adults at a Connecticut elementary school elicited horror and soul-searching around the world even as it raised more basic questions about why the gunman, a 20-year-old described as brilliant but remote, would have been driven to such a crime and how he chose his victims."

Why? Disregard for the only God. Family breakdown; movies, video games, and internet promoting the glorification of violence and perverted filth; many parents (if you're lucky to have two, let alone one who's committed), completely ignorant, lazy or unwilling to raise decent, God-fearing, law abiding children. It is a ME-generation, as in - "ME FIRST - I am entitled to everything I want!"

I don't have to look far past my front door to see what's wrong with society. A weekend is greeted with about 5 lbs. of store flyers at the base of my front door this time of year, telling me what I need to fit in, or to "be complete"; liquor available in most stores, rampant drug abuse, sexual abuse, child abuse, relationship breakdown. Churches, who pretend to know the way to God, completely void of the Holy Spirit. Promoting teachings of men, not of God.

These things naturally occur in a Godless age. Under these conditions, what else do we expect to happen?


2 Timothy 3:
You should know this, Timothy, that in the last days there will be very difficult times.For people will love only themselves and their money. They will be boastful and proud, scoffing at God, disobedient to their parents, and ungrateful. They will consider nothing sacred. They will be unloving and unforgiving; they will slander others and have no self-control. They will be cruel and hate what is good. They will betray their friends, be reckless, be puffed up with pride, and love pleasure rather than God. They will act religious, but they will reject the power that could make them godly. Stay away from people like that!
