The following is an important comment sent to me following my last posting entitled: The Psychology of Mass-Shootings. I hope you will visit this post on July 11, 2022, and then please read Mr. Damaske’s comments…for “THE REST OF THE STORY!
Dr. Tom,
This phenomena which you portray in this brilliant article is trending towards the “uncivilization” of the human race, and is much more than merely a psychological “natural selection” of the human species. We can review all the phases that this country has gone through since it’s inception and how it reacts and causes it’s populations to change, but I really believe the root cause and source of today’s troubling world is the basic separation of from God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Simply said, our country has swept away the Ten Commandments and replaced it with secular progressive political correctness, CRT, and Woke theory. Our younger generations have evolved into an omniscient source of knowledge, but unfortunately, it has lacked in basic wisdom and common sense. Entitlement has replaced ambition and effort. Spirituality has faded in the sunset, because the world of today has darkened so many souls. Mankind has less and less time for God in their “busy” lives.
The fading of faith and spirituality has opened the door to evil ambitions and desires. Little or no accountability and a disconnect with integrity. Young people today especially suffer because they are being robbed by not being able to properly pursue that once dreamed of “American Dream”.
The “explosion of knowledge” and technology (spoken of in the Bible prophesies) unfortunately is part of the reason for much of the disconnect of today’s youth. No need to elaborate about the divide created with “social media” between parents and their maturing children…
Our parents and forefathers would be beside themselves in what our generation is allowing to happen to this (once great) nation. Whatever happened to that “Norman Rockwell” view of American living and its families?
I rest my case.
May God have Mercy and may our our land return to the Judea Christian nation’s principles it was founded on.
End of quote.
