The Moral Compass

-By Robert Fullarton

Its an absolute outrage that these gangsters are out walking through the city centre for this horrible funeral where these mafioso can laugh and mock the police and the law abiding public!! Its an absolute disgrace these men on the lowest rung of the social order can be allowed so much amenity and room to operate!! What a tragic thing is this "farce" we call a legal system, the country is being taken over with these republican sympathisers/criminals and these different gangs! Why aren't there marches against gang violence, drug epidemics, ineffective policing, changing the legal system (in making it more effective for deterring crime) so the rights of the victims are in preference to the identity of the criminal!

How dare Gerry Adams speak about abolishing the Special Criminal Courts, which have helped to process and detain the infamous Dundon gang of Limerick. The judicial powers for tackling crime on such a mass scale are not to be removed or lessened on non-sensical charges or excuses from a very controversial and a shady character from our history of republican violence. If this threadbare, piecemeal, fragile legal system were to be torn asunder once more for reconstruction, then we might see the final deconstruction of our passive and misrepresented society. These are all part and parcel of a legalistic, weak, in effective, liberal society. If anyone states a word against say a traveller the word "racist" (of course this is ludicrous to make!) is used to make association to the overwhelming evidence that many travellers are involved in crimes right across the entire spectrum! So much legal precedence, so much hypocrisy, covers the whole legal and political system! Why must so much time be given to the seemingly perpetual moans against the water tax! Why are we so passive on issues that are more deep, far reaching, sinister and lasting, concerning the safety and morality of our society and the city we live in. Man's nature and man's face bares the identity of a brutality that all or anyone can potentially become part of, for our nature, as history has shown, on any level, bares the stamp of a badness that is universal. Without the mention of a spiritual dimension to this, there is no answer, no finality, no cure, but force to measure force, weapon for weapon, to frighten man from his own desires! I do not put my faith in political parties, socialism (history exposed it as a horrible man made utopia), nationalism, republicanism, humanism, the human rights religion, legalism or conservatism. 

But I do put my faith in Jesus Christ, as I am a Christian, for all my failings and weaknesses. For our drama is but part and parcel of a greater picture for which we are travelling through, we live in chaos as it is, do we not want it to be any different? Do we not want to know what a relationship with God might be like? Our secular society has given great comforts and privileges to our generation, but made it into a self-serving, legalistic, civilization that is dying out culturally and becoming a vacuous relativistic sham! I dont mean to preach, but what we are seeing on our streets, growing nationally and throughout Europe can be seen in the psychology of the people and the nation, it all comes out in our behaviour. Removing Christianity and reducing the powers of law, order, charity etc to mere passive ethical codes, comes about when man has no definite direction, no belief in the absolute. When the moral compass has been shattered there are only vague directions and guesses made by the many, we as a civilization, move in every direction other than to the harmony of God's governance.

I am basically stating that people need to be saved from themselves because of the badness in human nature. Without absolutes, whether it be government, law, morality and especially in recognising our duty to God, we live in a fragmented society, that is more about self-serving desires, points of petty law, we fall into the vices of our human nature and fail to reach the potential of which we were originally created for. The western citizen is no longer in a heaven centred life, but we cannot keep our morality if we loose the identity and loose sight of its origins, which was and is rooted in the deeds and actions of the Judeo-Christian faith- in the person of Jesus Christ. Life is no longer seen as sacred but as something to be exploited in which we are objects for manipulation. Shallow ethical codes will NEVER replace a faith that is based on metaphysical and supernatural power, proof and love.
