Dear Concerned Student:
I am not allowed in schools.


Sincerely,
God

----------------------

How did this get started?...

-----------------

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 neighbors
as yourself,"

And we said, OK...

-----------------

Dr. Benjamin Spock said we shouldn't spank our children when they
misbehaved because their little personalities would be warped and we mig
ht 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 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 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 country is in

Excuse me, but you are barking up the wrong tree. Those awful tragedies
are terrible, but it has nothing to do w/ whether prayer is or is not
allowed in school.

The truth is that parents expect the school system to teach children
from right and wrong instead of learning these lessons at home. Some
of these tragedies are a result of of those that are suffering some sort
of dementia. Others are from children that have a lack of understanding
of consequences and the value of human life.

Please do not forget your history in which many lives have been taken as
a result of religion. Religion has no place in the public school
system unless you are willing teach about all religions equally and
fairly including the belief not to believe in any God or supreme being.

Dear student,

Society, and all the other 'rights', that people scream for...all the
darkness, pain and anguish, all the desires for instant 'feel goods',
all the blame, and contempt...cuased someone to take a gun and express
their pain, in a heart wrenching, and shocking way.

Society caused these unnecessary deaths.

Pain caused these unnecessary deaths.

Fear caused these unnecessary deaths.

Arrogance and contempt caused these unnecessary deaths.

Greed caused these unnecessary deaths.

As they are all over the world to children, in Iraq, iran, Afganistan,
Afrika, China, and every other corner of the world.

Every day, thousands of innocent children die.

Great post Toyota....I agree with it 100%. Ever since they started
taking God out of everything, the violence has escalated in America.
Even the crooks that do the crime don't have to fret about doing the
time. ( where I live at anyway ) It's getting really sad!
