Personally, I believe that until we, as a nation, acknowledge God, these kinds of actions will continue to be perpetrated on us. We have drifted so far from the God of the Bible, that without Divine intervention, we will not return.
The burning question seems to now be, what do we tell the children? We cannot tell them that man is basically evil-that all mankind has a sin nature . We cannot tell the children that mankind is unregenerate, that man will think and act on the evil which is in his heart-and most men(and women) are unsaved. The Bible states that the way is broad and the path is wide that leads to death, and many are those who find it....and the path is strait and the way is narrow that leads to life and few there be who go therein.(not a verbatim quote)
So we stick our heads in the sand; say there are just a few bad apples out there. If we incarcerate them, everything will be all right. But the Bible tells us to get the murderer out of our midst-to kill him, not put him in prison. I would hope that we find the perpetrators soon-the President just called it an act of terrorism.
