Opinion in Brief
Tony Perkins: "The government can't make us safer until it recognizes that the problem isn't the instruments of violence but the culture of it. The heart of the matter, as Dr. Ben Carson once said, is the matter of the heart. Gun control is merely dealing with the symptom. What about the real problem — the fact that we've gotten to a point in our 'civil' society where people are seen as disposable? What has brought our country to a place where we no longer value human beings created in the image of God? A God, I might add, that some Americans are punished for even invoking. Maybe it's time we stepped back, as a nation, and considered what's happened since we removed the Judeo-Christian foundation that anchored this country from its cradle. That knowledge is what teaches us that human beings are intrinsically valuable because they carry the image of God. Without it, people's understanding of the worth of life is dramatically reduced, especially when it's replaced with a view that human beings are the product of chance."
