Violence in America

These days everywhere you turn you read or hear about violence in America. Battered wives and children, gang violence, the increasing murder rate…add to that terrorism, World of Warcraft (if you don’t know what this is, you should), nuclear warhead testing…violence is everywhere.

In the top 20 most popular television shows this season are:

4. CSI (storytelling about gruesome murders)
6. NCIS (storytelling about gruesome murders)
8. The Mentalist (storytelling about gruesome murders)
11. Criminal Minds (storytelling about gruesome murders)
14. CSI: Miami (storytelling about gruesome murders)
15. CSI: New York (storytelling about gruesome murders)
16. Without a Trace (storytelling about gruesome murders)
19. Cold Case (storytelling about gruesome murders)I wonder if there’s any correlation?

The Bible says, “…the Lord regretted that he had made human beings on earth, and his heart was deeply troubled…. Now the earth was corrupt in god’s sight and was full of violence…. So God said to Noah, “I am going to put an end to all people, for the earth is filled with violence because of them.” Genesis 6:13

Any thoughts...?
