By now most people have heard something about Elliot Rodger, the Santa Barbara City College student that ended his life with a self-inflicted gunshot wound after going on a killing spree that left at least 6 dead and more than a dozen wounded. This is a shocking crime spree that has police, media, and others asking questions but lacking answers.

The shooter’s last YouTube video is posted below, but be warned, it is graphic in language. I want to take a moment to comment on several things from that video. Before I comment though here is the timeline for Elliot Rodgers’ deadly murder spree according to Sheriff Bill Brown:

• Rodgers stabbed three males at his home. They were stabbed numerous times and the wounds were fatal.
• He banged on the door of a sorority, and when no one answered the door he shot three women standing nearby, killing two and wounding one several times.
• He drove to a deli and fatally shot Christopher Martinez.
• Driving down the wrong side of the road, Rodger fired several rounds at people on the sidewalk.
• He brandished a gun at a female, fired additional bullets, and turned his car around to head in another direction and traded gunfire with a sheriff’s deputy who was on foot.
• Rodger struck a pedestrian with his car.
• He fired more shots at pedestrians.
• At another point in his wild ride, Rodger shot yet another victim.
• Four sheriff’s deputies ran across a park to intercept him. He accelerated past them and fired at them. Three of the deputies fired, hitting his car and striking Rodger near the left hip.
• Rodger hit the gas and was going at a high rate of speed when he struck another bicyclst. The biker was thrown on the windshield of Rodger’s car, caving in the windshield.
• Rodger’s car collided with several parked cars. When police arrived he was dead from a gunshot to his head that Brown believes was self-inflicted.

This tragic timeline was premeditated, as the video explains. One of the very first things Rodgers laments in this video is that he is 22 years old and “still a virgin,” and that he has “never even kissed a girl.” This is the logical outcome of the hyper-sexualized culture being created by homosexual activists and groups like Planned Parenthood.

(The graphic and twisted manifesto of Elliot Rodger can be seen here. It will be used as evidence to show how disturbed this young man was, and sex can ruin a life.)

We are told that kids needs explicit sex-education from a young age, like Kindergarten, in order to properly develop, have time to experience, and truly be happy and healthy. The reality is that all this does is create a culture in which kids become addicted to pornography and sex where Planned Parenthood will be waiting to offer birth control and abortions. Kids are fed a lie that sex is needed to be fulfilled and happy and those who are somehow unable to be sexually active feel worthless.

Rodgers then says, “College is the time when everyone experiences those things such as sex and fun and pleasure.” Again, the culture being created within our education system – from Kindergarten through college – is that sex is part of it all. Is it any wonder we have so many self-centered, sexually unfulfilled adults? They have believed the lie that sex is all about them.

Rodgers then rants about having no idea why girls aren’t attracted to him even though he is the “perfect guy.” He calls this “an injustice, a crime.” This might be one of the saddest parts of the video as it shows just how narcissistic our society is becoming. To consider being ignored by some girls as an injustice and crime, when so many true injustices – religious persecution, sex-trafficking, forced labor, hunger – are taking place in our world shows the isolation of this young man. He was naïve.

More than once Rodgers says that he is, or will be a “god” after he exacts his revenge on those he believes has hurt him. The logical end of humanism, the belief that man is the greatest creature in creation is on display. If man is at the top of the food-chain, why can’t man decide who lives and who dies. It’s the same philosophy that allows people to advocate for abortion. If man created an unborn child, why can’t man decide to kill that child? Rodgers is a product of an atheistic, humanist education and philosophy.

And what is the “crime” that Rodgers believes others have committed which makes them deserving of slaughter? According to the video Rodgers says they have committed the crime of “living a better life than me.” This is a sad commentary on American culture. A kid that went to Hollywood movie premiers, had luxury cars, and seemingly had a life better than most in America is upset that others lived better.  The level of envy and jealousy here is astronomical. Sadly many Americans think like Rodgers because they don’t know the average person around the world survives on less than $3 per day.

Many have not experienced other countries where people dig through the trash for food, where children are homeless, where families have no indoor plumbing or electricity. The sheltered in America believe that they are suffering if they don’t have at least two flat screen televisions, the latest Apple products (all of them) and an X-box 360 in each room. The rest of the world just wants clean water and a full stomach.

Later in the video Rodgers blames girls for his life. He says that it was girls that “denied me a happy life,” and so now he will punish them. Once again we see the prevailing mentality of our culture, blame someone else, on display. Rather than seeking to change his life, to better himself, to look inward and find answers to his problems, Rodgers took the cowards’ way out by blaming others.

In the most ironic part of the video Rodgers says that “humanity is a disgusting, wretched, depraved species.” He says this while filming his plans to murder innocent people. Rodgers’ capacity to see his own hypocrisy and need for help was blinded by his bitterness, anger, envy, and lust.

The bottom line is that Rodgers was a lonely, frustrated, envious, lust filled young man that ended his life and the lives of others simply because he wanted to have sex. Perhaps he will be a case study for sexual researchers into how dangerous and deadly it can be to emphasize sex to the degree our society has been.

When we expose young children to explicit sexual images as part of “sex-education” they will indeed learn. They will come to believe that sex is a fundamental human right that all people are entitled to. They will see other people as potential fulfillment of their own pleasure rather than as unique, valuable human beings outside their sexuality. Their entire world will be framed inside a sexual philosophy that will ultimately leave them much like Elliot Rodger, lonely.

Rodger was disturbed, but I feel bad for him. He was a product of his environment that shows the destruction caused when sex is over emphasized; or emphasized as necessary to be happy. What is more troubling than the case of Elliot Rodger is the possibility that we are creating millions of Elliot Rodgers in our public schools with explicit sex education.
