Changing the World - the Wrong Way

Wow.  Idiots everywhere.

First, the bombs at the Boston Marathon.  Now, letters mailed to various politicians, including President Obama, containing the deadly poison ricin.  (This poison kills in 48 hours and has no known cure.)

It's staggering to think that there are people out there who think that acts of terror are the only way to change things in the world.  In fact, they seem to think that they will change things for the better!  How, if I may ask, does an act of violence or intended malice make things better?  Answer: it doesn't.

Whenever one of these guys such as Timothy McVeigh or Ted Kaczinsky gets captured, they are never well-spoken, eloquent, clear-thinking individuals.  They are psychopaths and nut cases who pursue their own variety of wickedness.  And when we look at those who represent organizations like Al-Qaeda or the Taliban, they always come off as about 51 cards short of a full deck.  Devious and imaginative at times, but always mostly nuts.

Even when "successful" in one of their terror attempts, the world never changes for the better for them or anyone else.  Acts of evil always... always ... make the world worse.

Sadly, it seems to be inevitable that these type of people will be out there.  There will always be those who think that killing innocents is justified, or that the violent overthrow of a government is God's will.  When the overthrow of any government is God's will, God will take care of it.  He won't use men to do it.  So you nut jobs need to quit blaming or giving credit to God for what you are doing.  You want to give credit to someone, credit your own insanity and the wickedness that the Devil has brought into the world.

As for me, I'll keep my eyes focused on the bright future that the Bible holds out for peace-loving people and will try to help others do the same.  And I will remember that when the time comes in the near future for Jehovah to change the world, he'll do it, and everything ... everything ... will be better for him doing it the right way.
