How would one possibly engineer something like this? Complete with suicides? That would be the puzzlement to me. Islamic radicals with their 72 virgins, I could believe would have a reason to commit suicide slayings. Even if (though) it’s the wrong reason.
And if there is a cult teaching people to do this, I’d be real curious where it is and what it is about. Too bad that the myriad straight arrow Tea Party’s regalia is getting co-opted by such loons.
You’re right of course. Engineered may be too strong a word but I still think the rise in such incidents will continue and that they are not as they first appear in media accounts which tend to place blame on “gun nuts” and anti government types.
You may scoff at this but I also think there is a spiritual element at work here. A spirit of chaos, darkness, and hatred for mankind. The enemy wants us to be fearful and he wants us to be slaves to that fear so that we will lose hope. So in this as in all things I shall trust in Christ and know He will see us through the coming times.
