Where Did it All Begin?
I apologize if this message seems a little harsh, but as a young adult, I am leaning heavily on my faith so that I will not be so afraid of what the world will be as I get older, and what it will be for my children. Let's bind together in prayer for this nation, the world, and all of its people.
Let's see, I think it started when Madeline Murray O'Hare complained and said 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 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.
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 of our top elected officials said it doesn't matter what we do in private as long as we do our jobs.
And we said, it doesn't matter to what anybody, including the President, does in private as long as we have jobs 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, everyone's entitled to free speech...

And the entertainment industry said, let's make TV shows and movies that promote profanity and violence, And let's record music that encourages rape, drugs, murder, suicide, and satanic themes...
And we said, it's just entertainment and 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, classmates or even themselves. Undoubtedly, if we thought about it long and hard enough, we could figure it out. I'm sure it has a great deal to do with ... "WE REAP WHAT WE SOW."

If you think this message has merit, please tell someone about this page! If not then just discard it ... but if you discard this thought process, then don't sit back and complain about what bad shape this world is in ... VOICE YOUR OPINION HOWEVER YOU CAN!

Dear God,
Why didn't you save the school children in Littleton, Colorado?
Sincerely,
A Concerned Student

Dear Concerned Student,
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God
