Do you believe that
morality is relative and just a matter of personal choice?
After this past week's
shootings in Arizona, after the death of nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green,
after the heart wrenching details of other deaths and 20 some wounded, do you
believe in morality? Do you believe in
the laws of Nature and Natures God or do you believe "we are the one's we've
been waiting for and we are the change that we seek?"
After this week, what do
you think? As you looked deep into the eyes
of Loughner what does your heart tell you?
Do we have it right? Can man
achieve utopia on his own? Do we have
the goodness within ourselves to develop our own systems of morality without
the boundaries or restrictions of any absolute standards? Do we have any real liberty without the
limits of law? Can there be any true
freedom without moral fences? Can
license be granted without selflessness and servitude?
Do you believe all is
well in the world and that progress is marching boldly in a positive
direction? Or, in the shadow of the
bodies at the Safeway in Arizona do you see something that your instinct told
you was there all along? Is the
difference between good and bad real? Do
right and wrong exist? Do justice and
injustice, life and death, morality and immorality, vice and virtue have
definitions beyond the matters of personal opinion and political power? Does
the human heart have the propensity to choose poorly and to do despicable
things? Is the most proven empirical
fact of all of human history the very existence of sin?
Do you believe Jared
Loughner was objectively wrong in shooting Congresswoman Giffords and killing
Christina Taylor Green? Do you believe in moral absolutes?
