Here's
a question posed by a student to God:
Dear God,
Why didn't you save the school children in
Littleton, Colorado?
Sincerely,
Concerned Student
Dear Concerned Student,
I am not allowed in schools.
Sincerely,
God
Now read below for how this has unfolded in
an incredibly short period of time:
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 boys and they’re doing 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 we said, it doesn’t matter 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, 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 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.”
Pass it on if you think it has merit. If not
then just discard it…but if you discard
this thought process, then don’t you dare
sit back and complain about what bad shape
this world is in…
Just something to think about.
