The Age of Danger is back.
In the past, humans had many dangers to fear: sickness, war, the elements. How did we get lulled into such an age of relative safety that we do not recognize danger anymore?
When I think about American history, I feel more confident, and believe we’ll survive global Islamic terrorism. We’ve survived great evils before. But when I think about WORLD history, I get very concerned.
World history has seen the Dark Ages, and The Age of Enlightenment; Medieval Times and The Renaissance; empires rise and fall. Can we keep ours from falling?
Will those within our culture who don’t care about it prefer the one that replaces it? How will they withstand a culture that claims to love death more than we love life? Peace marches and antiwar demonstrations get noticed by governments with a conscience, but will it work on tyrants who sacrifice their children?
Good people MUST fight to keep evil from winning.
If you need to ask how to define good and evil? then your battle is already lost.
