-Caveat Lector-
I was really disturbed to learn on last night's NBC-TV 11 o'clock
news that the father of one of the victims of the Columbine shooting
had spoken in Saratoga Springs, NY to an audience of 2,000
yesterday. In that speech he derided the separation between
church and state, insisting it had no constitutional basis, and
promoted Jesus and Christianity as the solution to situations such
as the violence at Columbine high. Saratoga is a relatively small
community and 2,000 is quite a turnout. I am wondering what the
reaction was to the proposed solutions to violence. (IT does seem
to me that the majority of Americans do already practice some
form of Christianity, so why isn't it working? And would enforced
Christianity work better? Considering that much of the most
sensational school violence has occurred in Bible Belt states, it
would seem not...but that is a ratiional deduction and this does not
seem rational to me.)
Moreover, I have also noticed in just the past month that the six
o'clock news is punctuated with advertisements for "Songs of
Worship"--CDs that center on hymns and songs of Christian
worship. I have no objection whatsoever to these ads in and of
themselves and have seen them often on late nite time slots but
find it disturbing to see them mixed in the with daily news. This is
upstate NY and I am wondering if the ads are playing on the six
o'clock news in the cities, too.
