In 1975, a young communist Cambodian named Pol Pot led his Khmer Rouge guerillas to power in Cambodia. His followers called him Brother Number One. Pol Pot was Marxism on steroids. He quickly cut Cambodia off from the world, and emptied her cities in an effort to build a super-agrarian Marxist society. The man was as ruthless as he was deluded. In the space of 5 years, Pol Pot and his cruel and youthful Khmer Rouge killed two million people in the Kampuchean countryside – 20+% of Cambodia's population. History calls it The Killing Fields. Pol Pot was eventually driven from power, but spent the rest of life trying to foment rebellion from exile. Brother Number One died in prison in 1998, perhaps succumbing to a heart attack. A Time magazine article (1999) reporting on Pol Pot's atrocities and death, commented that the mass murderer, by dying in custody of natural causes, escaped justice. Escaped justice? Do the wicked and the oppressor ever get away with it? Turn with me to Ecclesiastes 3:16 – 4:3. The prevalence of injustice and the seeming futility of death drive a secular man to conclude that it would be best to never have drawn a breath. That's grim. But be careful! It doesn't pay to think too hard if you only live life under the sun! Ecclesiastes is about life under sun. The life of the agnostic. Whether or not he/she would admit to the possibility of a god, practically speaking it doesn't matter. God is not a factor in his equation. Whatever gods there are, are far away. Man is on his own. Looking for meaning, beloved? Solomon discovers two more reasons why life is pointless if there is no God: i.) evil trumps righteousness; ii.) power trumps good
