Psychopath
For those of us who work outside the mental health profession I think a good layman’s definition for the word psychopath would be, “a person without a conscience.” Over the years we have adopted a narrow understanding of that word. We normally reserve the label “psychopath” for mad dictators and serial killers. Those men certainly fit that classification, but so do men willing to traumatize children to fulfill their own sexual hunger. Psychopaths are individuals who have no compassion, no empathy, and no concern for other people.
When we use this broader definition it’s plain to see society is nurturing a subculture of psychopaths. Instead of children having soft and pliable consciences, many are hard and calloused at a frighteningly young age.
When we try to silence the voice of God and methodically remove any mention of Him from our schools, workplaces and town halls we only hurt ourselves. The more we try to ignore the reality of death and judgment the more ungodly society becomes.
Unbelievers offer no apologies when they ridicule and mock God. Bold and arrogant these men refuse to believe they will one day kneel before the judgment seat of Christ. In an atheistic society there is no concern if some activity is right or wrong in the eyes of a God to whom we must give account. The only question in the mind of an unbeliever is if the activity is legal or illegal, and if it’s illegal can he reasonable expect to get away with it?
Ethics, morality, manners, integrity, virtue, and godliness, these concepts are ludicrous in a godless society. Repentance and godly sorrow become ridiculous and absurd as well. The judgment of God is coming and He will not delay. Today is the day of salvation.
