"Of all bad men," wrote C.S. Lewis, "religious bad men are the worst." Lewis added, "The 'average sensual man,' who is sometimes unfaithful to his wife, sometimes tipsy, always a little selfish, now and then (within the law) a trip sharp in his deals, is certainly, by ordinary standards, a 'lower' type than the man whose soul is filled with some great Cause, to which he will subordinate his appetites, his fortune, and even his safety."

In the atrocity that plagued Orlando this past weekend, we saw Lewis’s long proverb on display. The homosexual nightclub Pulse was filled with those illicitly satisfying their sensual desires. In walks a man who is blind to the notion that you don't cure one evil through the exercise of another. Motivated by the "great Cause" that is radical Islam, he commits mass-murder on a historic scale.

..."The most dangerous place in America," said pastor, author, and university president Dr. Mark Rutland, "is the place where authority is not observed and where rebellion is inculcated into the lives of our young people…The most dangerous place in America, is the place that is filled with disrespect, irreverence, and the spirit of lawlessness—the spirit of disobedience."
