While driving home from San Francisco yesterday, I turned on the radio and heard some of the first reports about the terrorist bomb explosions in Boston. Obama said that he would find out “why” this happened. That immediately struck me as odd: why is he so worried about “why” this happened. But this cuts to the core of the liberal mentality: to control something you must pompously think that you understand it. They think that everything is in the comprehensible sphere of human understanding; all problems can be solved; man can be perfected. In order to achieve these goals they constantly discuss amongst themselves the minutia of societal tendencies and behaviors, erect one public program after another, and dream of a day when Man will bring about heaven upon Earth. But they do not believe in the entity of evil; that it is mysterious and beyond the limits of the brain. Evil exists. And the only way to combat it is by Faith in the Lord.
