Peace over goodness
Dennis Prager makes an important point here about what the peacenicks are doing. What I don’t understand is why don’t they realize it?
…. Vast numbers of people believe what they want to believe or what they have been brainwashed to believe, not what is true or good. For vast numbers of people, it is simply dogma that all violence is wrong. It is a position arrived at with little thought but with a plethora of naive passion.
It is also often the position of the morally confused. People who believe in moral relativism, who therefore cannot ever determine which side in a conflict is morally right, understandably feel incapable of determining when violence may be moral.
Those who say violence never solves anything have confused themselves in other ways as well. They have elevated peace above goodness. Therefore, in these people’s views, it is better for evil to prevail than to use violence to end that evil — since the very use of violence renders the user of it evil.
For those people whose moral compasses are intact, the issue is as clear as where North and South are. There is immoral violence, and there is moral violence.
Read it all.
Tim o’ me tam to Boker TOV -Boulder!
We need to get back to despising and hating evil…moral people need to learn how to hate, and Israel’s quick and swift response to terrorism works; we should learn that lesson!
“For everything there is a season and a time for every matter under heaven… a time to love, and a time to hate; a time for war, and a time for peace.”
– Ecclesiastes 3
How many times have we heard that the problem with the world today is that there isn’t enough love, when precisely the opposite is true? Evil currently stalks the earth because there isn’t enough hate. Moral people, afraid of being poisoned by hate, are becoming indifferent to evil.
