It has been intellectually fashiona...Evil is real. It has been intellectually fashionable for the last few<BR/>decades to think otherwise. The comfort and stability of the Western<BR/>world almost allows one the luxury to believe this lie, that evil is<BR/>merely a social construct, just a vestigial notion of a bygone era. <BR/> <BR/>At times it has taken voices from outside of the West to remind us of the<BR/>reality of evil. Alexander Solzhenitsyn, the great contemporary Russian<BR/>author, is just such a voice. Powerfully, he decried the atrocities of<BR/>the former Soviet Union. Solzhenitsyn knew of intellectuals who blithely<BR/>discounted the reality of evil. He found them, for instance, in the plays<BR/>of Anton Chekhov, Russia's most famed playwright. Listen to a passage<BR/>where he considers what such a stock would do in the face of the<BR/>stupendous reality of evil in the former Soviet Union. <BR/> <BR/>If the intellectuals in the plays of Chekhov…had been told that in forty<BR/>years interrogation by torture would be practiced in Russia; that<BR/>prisoners would have their skulls squeezed within iron rings; that a human<BR/>would be lowered into an acid bath; that they would be trussed up naked to<BR/>be bitten by ants and bedbugs…that in the luckiest possible circumstances,<BR/>prisoners would be tortured by being kept from sleeping for a week, by<BR/>thirst, and by being beaten to a bloody pulp, not one of Chekhov's plays<BR/>would have gotten to its end because all the heroes would have gone off to<BR/>insane asylums. (Footnote 1: Alexander Solzhenitsyn quoted by David Remnick in Resurrection<BR/>(NY, Vintage Books, 1998) 123.)<BR/> <BR/>Belief in the unreality of evil cannot stand in the face of such gruesome<BR/>details of perversity. Or it can stand, and make the unbeliever go insane<BR/>as Solzhenitsyn theorized.<BR/> <BR/>That evil exists, I believe, is quite evident from such accounts as these.<BR/>But we need not turn the globe to find evil. We need only turn to our<BR/>own hearts, and we will find ample measures of selfishness, malice,<BR/>and greed, in short, the embryos of full-blown evil.<BR/> <BR/>Given that evil exists, and given that it exists in us, the pressing<BR/>question is: can evil be overcome? I believe it can. But not on account<BR/>of our seeming innate goodness. And not because we can somehow teach<BR/>ourselves to be good. Evil can be overcome only because it has been<BR/>overcome in the Cross. This is the central Christian message: Evil<BR/>exists, and the Cross is God's triumph over it. Indeed, "God demonstrates<BR/>his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for<BR/>us." (Footnote 2: Romans 5:8) Dear friend, Christ died for the ungodly,<BR/>for the evil endemic in the hearts of men, for you and I. What was once<BR/>lost, can be found Christ. In this we rejoice!

Maybe <BR/>you'll luck out and catch yourself a big one!" <BR/><BR/>Determined, the lineman turned and headed for the swamps, <BR/>set on catching himself an alligator.<BR/><BR/>Later in the day, the shopkeeper is driving home when he <BR/>spots the UNC football player standing waist deep in the <BR/>water. Just then, he sees a huge nine-foot alligator swim-<BR/>ming quickly toward him.<BR/><BR/>He grabs the gator, kills the creature with his bare hands, <BR/>and hauls it on to the swamp bank. Lying nearby were <BR/>several more of the dead creatures. <BR/><BR/>The shopkeeper watches in amazement.<BR/><BR/>Just then the lineman flips the alligator on its back, <BR/>and frustrated, shouts out, "DOGGONE IT, THIS <BR/>ONE ISN'T WEARING ANY SHOES, EITHER!!"Professor Howdyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189934292678757335noreply@blogger.com
