Randomness, the god of liberalism by Lawrence Auster

Because liberals reject the God of the Bible (as Alan Roebuck showed recently), and because they reject the idea of any inherent moral or teleological order in the universe (because if there's an inherent moral or teleological order then human beings are not free to believe and do whatever they want), for liberals the ultimate organizing principle of the universe is randomness. For liberals, randomness is the true source of apparent biological and spiritual progress, e.g., the progress from fish to frogs to reptiles to mammals to apes to primitive man to Aristotle to Jesus. And also for liberals, randomness is the true source of apparent "sin" and "crime." Thus the murders this past week of college students Eve Carson in North Carolina and Lauren Burk in Alabama have been repeatedly described by the liberal media as "seemingly random attacks," as ABC News twice described the two murders. To common sense, the usage is most strange, since "random" implies that there was no intent to commit the murders, they just happened. But of course to hold a human being up at gun point, to rob her, beat her, and shoot her dead, is not a random act in any way whatsoever. It is a most deliberate act.
