On What's Right

Have you ever seen an interview with a convicted felon?
Last year in European History, we watched an interview with a guy. I don’t really remember what he did, but i’m pretty sure it had something to do with extreme racism.
Or possibly neo-nazi-ism. Which would probably be an example of extreme racism.
But anyway, it was really interesting to see the way the guy answered the interviewer’s questions.
He seemed (obviously) genuinely sorry about whatever it was he did, or at least you could tell he knew it was dumb of him.
Yet at the same time, his answers typically took the form of, "it made sense at the time", or "i don’t know what i was thinking" or somesuch.

Think back to any stupid thing you’ve done that you’ve regretted.

What in your mind allowed you to do it?

Do murderers know they’re killing people?
Obviously.
BUT.
There -HAS- to be something inside that shuts off the, "this isn’t right" alarm, at least momentarily.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t do it.
It’s a mechanism of the human brain.
I’m not talking about knowing right from wrong.
I’m talking about listening to it; everyone knows its wrong to kill people.
But a killer’s mind might be more on the level of, "its wrong, but that doesn’t really matter".
See, something has to let him think it’s alright.

Chizech it out.
Proverbs 21:2.
"All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the Lord weighs the heart."

King solomon was pretty smart. The wisest king that ever lived.
Naturally, he’s right on.

Clearly, everyone thinks differently in terms of right and wrong.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t have a two-party governmental system, or multiple candidates, and all that hoo-ha.
So obviously, out of the 300,000,000 people in america, a whole bunch of them are wrong in at least a couple ideals.

Why do we spend 20 million dollars a MONTH on presidential campaigns?
beats me.
It’s right there in black and white. It doesn’t matter what people think; it doesn’t matter what seems right to them.
All that matters is what’s right in God’s eyes.
