Rioting: Due to Physical or Spiritual Neglect?


The riots that have in recent days resulted in the burning and looting of many major cities in my country are attributed to several things by the mainstream media. 

The Conservative party claims that the riots are a result of neglect by the previous government, while the Labour party claims that the riots are a result of cuts to funding by the current government.

Both of these ridiculous buck-passing explanations are in fact true, but they are only the result of short-sightedness and bad management, mere symptoms of the real cause for the disorder.

It is certainly the case that many of those committing the worst of the violence were from ethnic minorities, feeling no allegiance to this nation. The lack of any inherited graces or social mores that keep the host society in working order must have contributed to the barbarity of the situation.

But it is also the case that many of those looting, smashing and burning were as ethnically British as I am, and they still engaged in this depravity with as much gusto as the foreign born ones.

I suspect that it is the collapse of Christian morality in this nation has allowed their kind to multiply. The sad fact is that many people will not seek out spiritual guidance unless it is mandated to them. If it has not been hoisted upon them, they will simply default into an animalistic state of being.

Christian society sustains itself when people who understand the divine basis of morality uphold these rules amongst those with whom they dwell. Christianity has concepts of duty, where people must work if they hope to live, and where criminality is punished harshly, lest leniency invite even worse offences, and where charity and compassion are the basis of a man’s interactions with his fellows. 

Christianity forms a bulwark that ensures that those who do not understand why this must be the way of things, are at least able to reap the benefits of living in a society that does understand. 

With their material needs justly cared for by a society that is neither too lenient nor too cold hearted, these people can focus more of their energies on improving their spiritual understanding and their relationship with God.

But the secularist agitators have told us that enforcing Christian morality is “hateful” that it “restricts choice” and other phrases that sound horrible at first, but on closer inspection sound like the foot stamping of a naive child.

Nonetheless, they had their way, and the duty to work became nothing but a right to sit around in a sunken state of poverty, gripped only by carnal thoughts. The removal of harsh criminal punishments were lauded as an enlightened society treating people with compassion, while the real compassion and love afforded to fellow Christians was derided as old fashioned and unnecessary restraint on personal freedom.

Without these things to restrain them, many people, without jobs to occupy them, and without a spiritual education to guide their actions, have lost all sense of moral values, to the point where their actions are guided solely by whether it grants them some cheap gratification in the short term.

As we can see, without love for their fellow countrymen, there is no reason in their minds not to burn down houses and livelihoods, loot the shops of the hard working and murder innocent bystanders. The suffering of others is not taken into consideration, because in a secularist society, you cannot receive any punishment if you cannot be traced.

Those who fear God live their lives feeling they are under close scrutiny, and conduct their affairs accordingly.

I believe that these riots, having shown these degenerated people that they can do exactly what they want, and get away with it, will spark a change in the way the lowest orders of our society think about disorder. They have a taste for it now, and once this is forgotten about, it will probably begin to happen again, until it becomes a common occurrence, and our streets will not be safe at night, populated by feral packs of animals, dwelling only in the materialist plane.

It can be stopped very quickly if people would only make the tough decisions that Christianity mandates, but alas, the secularists would rather enjoy cheap freedoms now, while their country collapses all around them later. In this respect, they are as bad as those doing the actual rioting. It comes down to whether one is willing to put the laws of God before one’s own desires.
