A religious cult that requires human sacrifice is behind the Virginia Tech murder spree. Like all cults, it demands unquestioning loyalty of its followers. There is no room for discussion of other ideas, even though its own "holy books" must be revised every few years because the old ones are proved wrong.
This religion is evolution. It uses bad science to promote its goals. There is only hypothesis and speculation that relies on wildly interpreted fossil and mineral evidence. It says man is simply another animal that through random chance and freak mutations has moved to the top of the food chain.
The "microbes to man" theory of evolution is based on survival of the fittest. The traits of the most fit animals produce more animals with those traits, while the weaker animals are weeded out, leaving only the best to survive.
Another tenet of this cult is moral relativism. They believe there is no absolute truth or source of right and wrong. Each person must determine what is right or wrong for himself. Our schools teach this every day.
Now we have millions of people who believe that humans are just another animal. When one of these believers has a weapon, he is the "fittest" animal in most situations. Couple this with the belief in moral relativism where only that person can decide what is right and wrong for himself, and we have a prescription for mayhem.
Evil is a real agent in this world even though many deny it exists. Evil will use the members of this religious cult every time it can.
Some ask how can there be a loving God if tragedies like the one at Virginia Tech are allowed to occur. A better question might be how many more of these cult members would have committed mass murder if a loving God was not at work in this world?
