Denial of evil causes murder

The experts rushed to be in front of the TV cameras this week to give their opinion on what or who was to blame for the Charleston massacre.

Many shoes were thrown at televisions this week as these experts blamed medication, lack of medication, racism, gridlock in D.C., guns and more for the Charleston deaths. The experts missed the real cause.

Evil is to blame. And the denial of evil is equally to blame.

Consider what the friend of the killer in the Charleston shooting said to a New York Times reporter.

"He was big into segregation and other stuff," Dalton Tyler said. "He said he wanted to start a civil war. He said he was going to do something like that and then kill himself."

"I was just like, 'You're stupid,'" Tyler said. "He was a racist; but I don't judge people."

Young people today are taught not to judge. They are taught that good and evil are relative terms, and that one person cannot look at another and determine that they are evil, or that they are planning an evil act.

That politically correct denial of evil allowed the shooter to go forward with his plan.

I spoke about it on Hannity this week.

Those who blame this massacre on anything but evil have their motivations.

The American Medical Association tries to label evil medical so that they can prescribe more medication, when arguably, psychotropics lead to incidents like the Charleston shooting, and many others.

The mental health field attempts to psychologize these tragedies so that they can stay relevant as if talking through someone's evil will help.

The worst culprits are undoubtedly those who politicize it. The Soroses, the Sharptons and the Obamas of this world make strippers look honorable as these politicians and race baiters do a money dance on the graves of those killed.

The moment when I threw a shoe at the TV this week was when one psychology expert stated, "Most evil is just a mental problem."

That dangerous statement elicits pity for the most evil in our culture, but calling evil a mental problem has implications far beyond excusing evil acts.

That dangerously places the burden of "cure" in the hands of a profession that has no cure. Their drugs rarely work well, and their business model is to keep people sick. There is zero incentive to "heal," except for those clinicians who do so out of the good of their heart, alone.

Even Psychology Today admits that there is evil in the world that is beyond the scope of mental health professionals. The evidence abounds. Consider that there are millions of sociopaths in the world who never kill people.

To call evil merely a mental problem is dangerous. Following that to its logical end, rather than discipline our children, we should instead feel sorry for them and take them for treatment, or worse yet, stick them on drugs to fix them.

Instead of detaining hardened criminals, should we set them free and get them treatment? Instead of sending in troops to kill terrorists, should we send in a brigade of psychologists?

To begin to try to help the citizens of Charleston to heal, we need to recognize the spiritual component here, and understand our best defense in the battle against evil is good.

Right now, the pain in Charleston is immense. There is something particularly evil in the fact that all of this happened in a church. There is something extra evil in that he sat in the back of that church and contemplated it before he acted.

We have abandoned God as a nation, and so it is no surprise that evil can wreak such havoc in our holiest places. Our historic churches in Nineveh are destroyed in the Christian cleansing holocaust happening there at the hands of pure evil terrorists, and no mental health professional is going to step in and cure it. We need God in this country, and we have to stop being afraid to say it.

Until psychologists, other mental-health professionals, pundits and politicians begin to recognize the spiritual component of evil, we not only will see other acts of evil, but we will never heal as a nation from the strife.

Our only hope is not in some doctor with a pill, but in the recognition and condemnation of pure evil, so that we can know the tools we have to counter it.

For parents who see early signs of psychosis, please keep weapons locked and far away from your child, and do seek help for your child not only for their mental state, but also for their spiritual state.

There is healing. For those children struggling now, for the people of Charleston dealing with the aftermath, and for our nation, there is healing. Most of it won't come from a counseling session or a pill; it will come from a spiritual miracle that will surpass understanding.
