The Absence of Brotherly-love in the USA
Yesterday, I said that all human minds contain ideas. Healthy and sickly ideas establish motives and acts. But, sickly ideas can establish mental illnesses and illegal acts. For example, tomorrow a man will be executed using an electric chair in Nashville, TN. In 1997, this man shot his four children, could not find his wife and her boyfriend, but soon turned himself in. Three new ideas entered the mind of this man. First, he rationalized the sickly idea of killing his children. Second, he rationalized the sickly idea of possibly killing his wife and her boyfriend. Last, he rationalized the healthy idea of turning himself in.
In a nation under God, all people have personal and social responsibilities to God. Each person is thus responsible for their own ungodly acts and ungodly acts that affect other people negatively. But, as the man above experienced, he could not prevent sickly ideas from entering his mind. The truth is that we cannot always prevent them, especially when it is natural for people to disagree on the same idea and when our symbolic languages contain flaws naturally and cannot express our ideas precisely.
Because of the inability of man to govern his ideas perfectly, it seems that society (e. g., the USA) has many responsibilities to its members and that the functions of ‘security and justice’ are not the only natural responsibilities that a government of a free nation has to its people. When the US government made laws favorable to laissez-faire thinking and policies, it walked away from God and destroyed the national idea of brotherly-love. Without fusing the idea of brotherly-love into the mind of all Americans, the US can only build a nation of bandits and criminals. Clearly, many Americans are atheists.
