Interesting ....
In light of the recent shooting in Santee, California,
let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray
O'Hare complained she didn't want any prayer in
our schools, and we said OK.
Then someone said you better not read the Bible in
school.... the Bible that says thou shalt not kill,
thou shalt not steal, and love your neighbor as
yourself. And we said, OK.
Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our
children when they misbehave
because their little Personalities would be warped and
we might damage their self-esteem. And we said, an
expert should know what he's talking about
so we said OK, we won't spank them anymore.
Then someone said teachers and principals better not
discipline our children when they misbehave. And the
school administrators said no faculty member in
this school better touch a student when they misbehave
because we don't want any bad publicity, and we surely
don't want to be sued. (There's a big
difference between disciplining and touching, beating,
smacking,humiliating,kicking, etc.) And we accepted
their reasoning.
Then someone said, let's let our daughters have
abortions if they want, and
they won't even have to tell their parents. And we
said, that's a grand idea.
Then some wise school board member said, since boys
will be boys and they're
going to do it anyway, let's give our sons all the
condoms they want, so
they can have all the fun they desire, and we won't
have to tell their parents they got them at school.
And we said, that's another great idea.
Then some of our top elected officials said it doesn't
matter what we do in private as long as we do our
jobs. And agreeing with them, we said it
doesn't matter to me what anyone, including the
President, does in private as long as I have a job and
the economy is good.
And then someone said let's print magazines with
pictures of nude women and
call it wholesome, down-to-earth appreciation for the
beauty of the female body. And we said we have no
problem with that. And someone else took that
appreciation a step further and published pictures of
nude children and then
stepped further still by making them available on the
internet. And we said they're entitled to their free
speech.
And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV
shows and movies that
promote profanity, violence, and illicit sex. And
let's record music that encourages rape, drugs,
murder, suicide, and satanic themes. And we said
it's just entertainment, it has no adverse effect, and
nobody takes it seriously anyway, so go right ahead.
Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no
conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and
why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their
classmates, and themselves.
Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough,
we can figure it out. I think it has a great deal to
do with "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."
Dear God,
Why didn't you save the students in Santee?
Sincerely,
Concerned Student
AND THE REPLY:
Dear Concerned Student,
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God.
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God and
then wonder why the
world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but
question what the bible says.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided
they do not have to believe, think, say, or do
anything the Bible says.
Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still
follow Satan who, by the way, also "believes" in God.
Funny how we are quick to judge but not to be judged.
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through
e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you
start sending messages regarding the Lord, people
think twice about sharing.
Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass
freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion
of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on
Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the
week.
Are you laughing?
Funny how when you go to forward this message, you
will not send it to many on your address list because
you're not sure what they believe, or what they will
think of you for sending it to them.
Funny how I can be more worried about what other
people think of me than what God thinks of me.
Are you thinking?
Pass it on if you think it has merit! If not then just
discard it....no one will ever know what you did, for
sure.
But, if you discard this thought process, then don't
sit back and complain about what a bad shape the world
is in.
