Show these types of things often enough and with enough flare and pretty soon the masses will think nothing of it. This is what happens to people who live without knowing God. Without love, without hope, and it's right there in front of them, but, they choose death instead. How utterly sad, sick and pitiful.

Worth repeating: Proverbs 8:36 But whoever fails to find me harms himself; all who hate me love death."

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

“Without Hope”

And to emphasize your reference, it is another disturbing trend of modern society that so many Americans put their “Hope” not only in a human being, but in a human being that had a track record of despising this country and its people and who had no evidence of being able to accomplish anything that was not handed to him...that so many put their “hope” in mankind rather putting their “faith” in God.

It is further evidence of how our state-run education system has so dumbed-down the populace that the secular humanists (who are anti-God and anti-religion) were able to demonize the term “faith” and then adopt one that is its very cousin (hope) and make that marketable, while it was essentially trying to sell the same thing, albeit not as directed to The Lord but to someone who is little more than a feudal lord.
