Playing God on the freeway
by VivianLast weekend my husband reminded me of the recent spate of freeway shootings where, apparently because of road-rage, someone decides someone else’s time has come and acts on that decision.
That such a thing can happen is symptomatic of many problems (gun control, anyone?), but I’m extremely disturbed at the low regard for life.
In Nancy Pearcey’s book “Total Truth,” she says:
All these forms of cultural dissolution, [Francis] Schaeffer writes, have “come about due to a shift in worldview… to a worldview based on the idea that the final reality is impersonal matter or energy shaped into its current form by impersonal chance.”
If this is truly a product of the long reach of Darwinism, so much for the atheists who believe religion threatens the survival of mankind. In the case of road rage, I don’t think the fittest survives.
How different would our world be if we all viewed each person as someone created in God’s image, someone Jesus died for?

In isolated cases, the non fit win sometimes. In the long run, were there no God, it would be every man/woman for themselves and the fittest and strongest would survive.
Do I think that’s a good thing? Absolutely not.
Unless we consider that when we are weak He is strong. Then the strong do indeed survive…eternally.
