The Unlearned Lessons of 9/11 - Rev Paul Gonyea

There are no spiritual forces fighting each other in the world; it's all God. Every person, every place, every thing. Every situation, every experience, every condition. When we turn on a light switch, the light doesn't have to fight with the darkness to force it out of the room. The darkness doesn't go anywhere because it's not a thing; it has no power of its own. People who use intentional violence to achieve their political ends are nothing more than a spot of temporary darkness, a shadow, in a world of light. That's why we have to stop teaching our children, by our example, that violence is a long-term solution to the world's problems; it's not, and it never will be.
