Exactly so. Moral relativism does not allow people to even utter the word “evil.” But that is what this is, whether the shooter was autistic, bipolar, or schizophrenic - pure evil preying on innocence and good. That’s our world - evil is allowed to run rampant. Thankfully, there is Good as well, and Good will triumph. I feel sorry for those who don’t know that, and cannot even think in terms of “good” and “evil.” C.S. Lewis said that there are two mistakes you can make with respect to evil; one is not taking it seriously, and the other is being too preoccupied with it. In our secular society it is bad taste to even say the word - so arrogant!

Exactly! And according to Him, it will only get worse. I believe we have just begun to feel the pangs and distress of what is about to come.

C. S. Lewis said that about the devil, not about evil. Do not ignore, but neither be entranced.
