The Logic Of Faith

There is an inverse relationship between faith and hate. When the child loses faith in others, when he understands there is no one whom he can trust, he feels betrayed. The child hates as he loses faith. To understand mass shootings, look at the failures of trust, the decay of faith and the level of betrayal. In the persistent decline in faith, in people and things the child can believe in, one will observe a consistent increase in hate. It is family and friends in a faith-based community that model trustworthiness, not experts in the pay of the state. We ought not claim to have faith in God if we do not have faith in the people of God and we cannot be deemed trustworthy members of the community of believers.
