What Is Wrong With People?
I have grown accustom to disagreement. As a Pastor, I deal with disagreement all the time. Anytime you decide to do something in a church, someone will think it is a bad idea. I also went to Southern Seminary. I went during a time when disagreement was king. My denomination has had its share of fighting over the last 150 years. As a Christian, I am constantly disagreeing with the world around me. Thus, I have grown accustomed to hearing those who disagree with me, and I try hard to hear others out.
However, every now and then, a point of view gains popularity that I have no stomach for. This normally only happens when sanity is thrown out the window. You see, I can talk to a non-believer, and respectfully disagree with their side of the story. The only time I refuse to debate is when someone has a completely irrational thought and tries to act as if it is fact.
I am trying hard not to blow my lid when I hear American citizens try to blame Israel for this conflict going on. I know, I know, it is the same people that blame America for all that is wrong in the world. However, I am completely taken back by their ignorance and stubbornness. I one time visited a person in a mental ward. Another patient was convinced that he was a donkey. I watched him for a while. He made donkey sounds. He kicked his legs. He walked on all fours. However, he wasn't a donkey. He was convinced of it. However, the doctors knew better.
There are a whole lot of people in the world that are convinced of things regardless of the reasoning behind it. I have come up with a term to describe folks who blame everyone else than those who are the real problem. The term is O.J.itus.
You see, the last time I was this aggravated with a segment of the population was after the O.J. trial. The evidence was overwhelming. However, there was a group in our society that was going to support O.J. regardless of the logic. Why? Because they hate America and the American system. Thus anytime they can hurt American or the American system it makes them happy.
Hezbollah has killed hundreds of Americans through their terrorist behavior. If I were president, I would tell the world that we are going to help Israel get rid of this terror group. I would use their slaughter of our Marines back in 80's as the reason for going in. Hezbollah is an evil terror group. The sooner they are eliminated the safer the area is going to be.
You see folks, it is simple to see who is the good guys and who is the bad guys. This is how you do it. If Israel disarmed and got rid of all their military might, what would happen? Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, Al Queda, The PLO, and the Islamic Jihad would go in a crush Israel. They would slaughter the Jews, and we would have another holocaust. Now let us reverse it. If Hezbollah put away its weapons and went home, What would happen? Lebanon would survive peacefully with Israel.
The enemy is easy to define. I believe it is time that we defeat them.
