The media are filled out, also fairly, give and accept, trying to understand what can and should be done so that we do not see the same.

But, unfortunately, most of the expression that I hear is based on the same erroneous sense of law and the wrong that caused a terrible act.

That is – who are we to blame?

Murder, unfortunately, is not so exclusively in our country. Among industrialized countries, the US murder level exceeding 6,000 people is one of the highest.

In some way, it seems that this is more bothering us when someone is shot for their political expression than when he is shot as a result of violence in gangs in the inner city or in robbery or in a terrible, meaningless mass murder, perfectly lost and non -suffered person.

Hot button here is an element of freedom of speech.

Freedom of speech is the oxygen of a free society. The threat of his obstacles to terrorism or government is terrible.

Our freedom degenerated into chaos because we forgot why it is vital and precious.

Why does the preamble of our Constitution speak of the “blessings of freedom”?

To answer, we must have a discussion that many do not want to have.

Our free nation under God or not? Is a free nation that cannot be under God possible?

My opinion is this: as a rule, our discussions today ignore what makes freedom significant and critical, that is, that each person has a free choice. Free choice means that it is important what we choose. This means that there is good and evil, and a person was created to take responsibility for the choice and create a world that our creator wants.

Our nation was founded by Christians who are looking for freedom to live a faithful life. Our foundation was an excellent meeting between the Christian population and the founders, many enthusiasts of the modern era of reason who developed the government to protect their citizens and allow them to live in accordance with their free choice.

In other words, there was a political person there to protect a religious person and allow him to take responsibility for his life and live freely.

But with a great success of this agreement, as always, proud, as always, comes.

Gradually, religion pulled out the door, and we became an increasingly political society.

Freedom was transformed from the blessing separated by everyone in the alleged law of each person in order to determine for himself, what is good and what is evil, what is true and what is false.

The heights of politicization that once was a free people in accordance with God, there were a Row's decision against Wade, declaring women free to destroy their unborn children, and the decision of Obergefell against Hodges, in which the state was given the authority to determine marriage.

In the free people under God, life is sacred, like the holy institution of marriage between a man and a woman.

The result is the chaos in which we are. Politics has become our God, and people feel personally having the right to determine that good and evil. And with tragic inevitability, some appear who feel authorized to determine who will live and who will die.

The celebration of America, which is not a free nation under God, a flag that does not represent the standards of good and evil transmitted to us by our creator is what the ancients called the idol to worship.

We must restore and build a country where everyone sees his neighbor in the image of God, where each of them feels personal responsibility in order to take responsibility for his life and allows others to take the same responsibility, knowing that the final judge is higher.
