Can We Understand the Depravity of "Hamas"?
When depraved and horrible acts of murder and torture occur (which is often) we all struggle to understand. We with even but a glimmer of a Judeo Christian worldview that is.
Right now that core of ethical ideas of the Judeo-Christian tradition are holding back a tidal wave of depravity in America and the world.
God acts as a supressor of the worst impulses of our fallen nature, impulses that come to the surface in times of war. The reality is war crimes and violations of human dignity are committed by Western powers and should never be accepted or tolerated.
Where ever barbarities are considered war crimes instead of normal they factually happen far less than in cultures where that ethical understanding is missing.
The depravity committed by "Hamas" is an evil that goes all the way back to the beginning. Nations like Assyria, the Greeks, the Aztecs to name a few were consumed by depraved thinking and killing.
The middle east of our day is filled by people who ascribe to a culture of death.
Most Islamic nations (except for a few reformers) rejects as idolatry the idea that humans are made in the image of God.
The Hadiths ( Islamic authority second only to the Quran) calls for the extermination of the Jews, a fact quoted in the Hamas charter.
This call by The Hadiths is without denial "genocide".
Since "Hamas" does not value human life they routinely use their own people as shields and sacrifices to aid in conflict.
The Christian influence of the West is in decline around the world.
That brings with it a resurgence of the bloodlust and sadism we are seeing now.
Worldview is important and the reality is Christianity by and large has been good for the world, and its decline today will bring horrific consequences abraod and at home.
