New Orleans shows us in the starkest possible way the reality of the thin blue line that protects us from barbarism and mob rule.
The veneer of civilization really is thin. Christianity plays a vital role in keeping us civilized. Those that continually seek to weaken and discredit Christianity do so at their own peril.

Christianity plays a vital role in keeping us civilized OK, but why does Christianity weaken?

In part you are right, but Bombay is not "Christian", and there wasn't this type of looting.
Part of it is opportunity (how much there was to loot) and part is just the mindset of the people. As the old song says, give a man a house, and he will break out the windows.
Or in this case break into the stores.

Amen, Jaysun. You are absolutely correct. The Holy Spirit in Christianity holds back the darkness but one day, when Christians are no longer here, lawlessness will be the law of the land. It's getting there now.
