This is kinda long but once you start reading
it, you'll get interested. It's a good thing to read.
This is something I've thought for years, but now someone has put
into words.
Food for Thought!
Where did it all begin?
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 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 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 nude pictures
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 have movies that encourage 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.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And 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 school children in the school shootings?
Sincerely,
Concerned Student
AND THE REPLY.
Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely, God
