Dear Concerned Student:

I am not allowed in schools.

Sincerely,

God

How did this get started?...

-----------------
Let's see,
I think it started when Madelie 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 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 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,"

Answer 1

We, in spite our of best efforts, cannot keep God out of anywhere... God is everywhere. Families are primarily responsible for teaching faith, hope, love and peace ... not schools. Where was God when those children died? Holding their hands and crying with them and all the parents over the hardness of our hearts toward one another .. all insisting that our God (or violence, or money,or...) is the RIGHT and ONLY way.

Answer 2

We could have all the prayers you want. All the bible you want. But we still live in an evil world. Look at the Amish children. They had prayer. They had bible. But evil still came there. God will not stop evil until Jesus returns.

Answer 3

Our country started going downhill when prayer was taken out of our schools!

Answer 4

oh wahhh freakin god lovers
