[In response to a letter to the editor which suggested that the culture of violent expansionism in American history could be responsible for violence today]
Archie Blumhorst’s letter (5/1, “A history of violence”) is very disturbing — not because he’s right, but because he’s so wrong.
To equate fighting wars for freedom and liberty with senseless, mindless acts of violence is ludicrous. The former is noble and necessary. The latter is cowardly and tragic.
Our problems are not due to war, conquest and expansionism. The fault lies directly with the heart of mankind.
Our Founding Fathers never intended for our nation to be a godless secular nation. They never intended for man’s laws to supersede God’s laws. They never intended for man’s view of morality to supersede God’s morality.
Our problems stem from a love of self rather than of God and a refusal to be in obedience to him — plain and simple.
