WHEN WE REPLACE GOD WITH PILLS: Sorry But Guns are NOT the problem.
Manage episode 502883364 series 3554634
We're witnessing a spiritual crisis in America masked as a gun control debate, but the truth is more complex and uncomfortable than most people are willing to admit.
• The true constant in mass shootings isn't guns but the removal of God from American life and dependence on SSRIs
• Mass shootings were virtually non-existent in the 1950s despite widespread gun ownership because of stronger religious communities
• When people embrace sinful activities they open themselves to negative spiritual influences that manifest as depression and violent tendencies
• America's political landscape continually shifts leftward with conservatives now standing where liberals did 20 years ago
• Faith provides a narrow but direct path to healing, whereas many modern alternatives offer temporary relief without addressing root causes
• Modern mental health approaches often treat spiritual problems with pharmaceutical solutions, missing the deeper issues
