OREGON MASSACRE

FORCES OF EVIL: NOT HUMANLY CONTROLLABLE

Exclusive: Craige McMillan sees nation addressing lesser truths instead of greater truths

As is the case in a society where everything is politicized, the blood wasn’t even dry at Umpqua Community College in Roseburg, Oregon, before the political class had updated the facts to fit their meme, and made their statements to the television cameras about how to solve – or not to solve – the problem of premeditated murder. You listen to them and act on their advice at your own peril.

Human history has long recognized that there are greater and lesser truths. Today our culture will abide only lesser truths. This is because lesser truths can have their boundaries conveniently adjusted so as live in harmony with other lesser truths – which all of us have become comfortable in using to explain the world we live in and our place within it. The less explanation we need, the lesser the truth we need to endure.

In Roseburg, the lesser truths are: a) we need more gun control to stop premeditated murder; b) we need more armed citizens present among us in various settings who are willing to intervene and reduce the number of victims; or perhaps c) that we need more armed guards or better police protection to deter the evil-minded or mentally-feeble.

The greater truth is this: The forces that have been unleashed in America over the generations since World War II are not humanly controllable.

Let me repeat that for you. Not. Humanly. Controllable.

Well-meaning people on all sides of the political spectrum will continue placing band-aids on the wounds and advocating for more money to affix more of their “cures,” but their efforts are like a dead tree blocking a small stream when the dam above it breaks. These so-called “solutions” are doomed to failure and only give the real problem more time to fester and grow until it explodes.

During tragedies like Roseburg, there are always many “hugs, kisses and prayers” for the survivors and the victims’ families. These are actually closer to the truth of the matter than are the legions of social band-aid troops that have been prescribing their medicines for America’s health over recent generations.

I once met a physician who spent his summers in refugee camps caring for dying children, because that is where he found joy. He related growing up in a rough, working-class neighborhood in Birmingham, England. His mother worked the late shift at a hospital and took the bus home, then walked several blocks to their house. He said his father “never gave it a second thought. Had a woman been attacked on the street the nearby doors would have burst open and the attacker would have begged for the police to be called.”

Cultural values don’t change overnight. A society that dismembers infants in the womb for the convenience of the parents and then sells their body parts for medical experimentation to fill the campaign coffers of a political party is not humanly redeemable. There is no reason that such a society should exhibit more concern for those lucky enough to have made it through the birth canal and out into the world.

The larger truth is that America has gotten too big and rich for its britches. The host of smaller truths with which it has comforted itself over recent generations are myths and fables designed to give its elites comfort and shelter from every nation’s accountability to the only creator God.

Our situation today is very much like the highly religious Jewish rabbis who thought they could kill Jesus and thereby preserve their own power among the people. Do you remember the intended victim’s retort? “You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies” (John 8:44 NIV).

America, however, is still a nation divided over its elites’ visions. Nineveh was spared, at least in the short term. It is our self-deluded elites who are in the process of repeating Satan’s great error: “I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High” (Isaiah 14:14 NIV).
