Dear God,Why don't you save the children being killed in schools? Reply; Sorry , I am not allowed in schools.

Question

How did this happen? Someone complained about prayer in school, and we said OK. We were not allowed to teach thou shall not kill, or steal, or love your neighbor as yourself. and we said OK. Dr. Spock said we could harm our children by spanking them, and we said he must know what he's talking about so we won't spank our kids.Then we said teachers & principals better not touch our kids and they said we don't want bad publicity or be sued,and we all accepted the reasoning.Then someone said lets let our daughters have abortions without telling their parents.& since boys will be boys lets give them condoms at school and they can have all the fun they want,and we said those are great ideas.Elected officals said what they do in private doesn't effect their jobs and we said OK so long as we have jobs and the economy is good. In the name of free speech we have sites for porn and kiddie porn,we have entertainment that encourages all kinds of evil. Why do you then ask where is God?

Do you think this has merit? If you disregaurd this thought process, then don't you dare complain about the condition of society and ask " Where is God if He exists, why isn't He doing something about this?" Our prisons are getting overcrowed but there they will learn about God, they allow Bible studies.

God is everywhere but He doesn't do B&E's. He has to be invited. Just teaching a child right & wrong is not enough that should be apparent since it has not worked, our society is proof of that. They need to learn there are consequences not just in this world but beyond. To not teach a child of the existance of God whether you believe or not robs them of their freedom to choose.

I am not saying it has to be Christian I beleive there should be comparetive religon but what kid will even know there is any faith system and use it when he,doesn't know it and lives in a world of"me first" Take care of #1" "get mine" and "everybody else does it so it must be OK" Sure schools allow prayer but don't feel it important enough for a kid that they actually allow time for it in any form. What does a kid have to stand on against a corrupt world. It's not just schools that are turning there heads and ignoring what is obvious, we all do when we tell our kids anything goes by all the things we allow to happen . We're more than willing to allow evil things their due for freedom of individual but not fight for their rights to have the good. Then complain, mostly to a God that is denied and His teachings along with them. Who would say that makes sense? To say I don't beleive in you or what you say, you're not real and then say why aren't you doing something about this.

Answer 1

Great points. However, I do believe that until God is present in your life, totally consuming you, not even empty prayers will help in schools. Futhermore, I believe parents have a greater responsiblity in a child's life than a teacher does. All we can do is pray for our nation, and do as Jesus did, show love to everybody.

Answer 2

Where do the parents come into the picture?

You're blaming everything for the kids being killed in the schools EXCEPT the one thing that truly matters.

A bad parent allows the system to raise their children, a good parent takes matters into their own hands and teaches the children right & wrong.

Your fictional god has nothing to do with it. It's the fact that parents want to coddle their children and protect them from every stupid little thing there is in life.... which has the contrasting effect of making them want to rebel & experience everything you say is bad. What the world needs is better parenting! Giving a kid a spanking isn't going to scar the kid for life, but if you use the spanking as an outlet for your own anger then it probably will.

You can't blame god (or the removal of god) for the problems in the world. You can only blame yourself & the rest of humanity.

That's the problem with religion..... point the finger at everyone else for the problems but do nothing to try and make it right. Just sit around and complain about it and wait for god to make things better.


Edit: They ALLOW bible study in prison, they don't FORCE it. And i think it is safe to assume that a prison inmate who's sentenced to life doesn't really need to study science or any other school topic. So what do they choose? The bible! Why? To save themselves..... not only that, but some fundies will actually release inmates on good behavior if they claim that they've found christ. Science class in a school is not the proper place to allow kids to study the bible. If you want your kids to learn the bible so badly TEACH IT YOURSELF.... If it's so important to you, why put the task in the hands of someone else? The parent is responsible for teaching religion. Not schools..... unless you want to send the kid to a religious school & severely limit their mental capacity as an adult. do you not know enough about your cherished book to teach them properly? Maybe you don't want to be the one who has to answer all their curious questions about everything in the bible that contradicts itself?!

Answer 3

I do have a problem what the teachers did to these children. I think they would be suspended. I don't think there should be African American month or Hispanic month (I'm hispanic). Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama He said all should lend a hand to make the country strong again (The country is already strong. He is making it weaker.) Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama He said we must be fair today, equal work means equal pay (It was fair. Now he is making the U.S. into socialist country.) Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama He said take a stand, make sure everyone gets a chance (We are taking a stand. No, not even every is getting a chance. Ask FOX News if Obama gave then a chance to interview him.) Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama He said red, yellow, black and white, all are equal in his sight (All he sees is red. Red for debt, red for communist, Red for hate towards the strong country we've become since 1776) Uhm, uhm, uhm, Barack Hussein Obama YEAH. Barack Hussein Obama (YES.Impeach. Barack Hussein Obama) Hello Mr. President, We honor you today (I will never honor you.) For all your great accomplishments, we all do say hooray (Is turning the US in more in debt a great accomplishments? No, not for us.) Hooray, Mr. President you are No. 1 (So am I. I'm my family.) The first black American to lead this nation (He is also 50% white. Let's celebrate that he is of mixed race.)

Answer 4

So are you saying that the Almighty all-powerful God is stymied by the United States Constitution? Since when does God have to obey our laws. And by the way no court has ever said that the Constitution prevents anyone from praying wherever they want. It only prevents the school authorities from organizing particular prayers that foist particular religious views on people without their willing participation. And what does spanking have to do with this? Don't you know that the prisons are filled with people who were spanked as children? And what does abortion have to do with some psycho deciding to kill a bunch of his classmates?

Answer 5

Sorry, but incidents like this are at least as likely to occur in areas where the Bible is spoon-fed to most children from birth, so I fail to see a connection. God should be in your heart, not on the tip of your tongue as you lash out at others in assigning blame, or in recited prayer. Organized religion has done far more to turn people away from God in the last 50 years than government could ever accomplish.

Answer 6

Of course when you apply your logic to the slaughter that happened in the Amish school where they did pray on a daily bases, your argument changes to "They weren't the right kind of Christians."

The fact is, there is no god, crazy people do crazy things and even hurt innocent people, and you can't do a thing about it because the other part of the right wing Christian nut brigade insists that we all have the right to have as many guns as we want.

I am privileged to live in this time, where I can be an eye witness to the fall of Western Civilization.

Answer 7

God and prayer is allowed in schools, the school simply can not publically endorse them.

There is a huge difference here, and a very important one.

You can pray all you want, but there cannot be school sponsored prayer. Makes sense though, what if another religion was dominant and all schools in the country required you to do muslim prayers in class? That would suck wouldn't it?

And the idea that children are being killed in schools as a result of separation of church and state is completely ridiculous.

Answer 8

I don't usually find myself asking where is God. However, your points are correct, so many people try to twist our constitution to make almost anything legal, the U.S. would benefit from saying no to a few of the things you mentioned, such as kiddie porn. We live in a country where a man can break into your home, steal your belongings and then sue you when he cuts himself on the broken glass from the window he broke. I don't think christianity should be taught in schools, because too many people have other beliefs, but I do believe that mentioning god shouldn't be illegal because almost everyone believes in some sort of god, exception atheists who make up only about 4% of the country, but for some reason get their way.

Answer 9

Humn, when I went to school, and my children went to school, they could pray any time they felt like it. But they did not have their teacher or other professional force their own prayers on them, which is what the exculsion of ORGANIZED prayer does----religious fantatics tend to gloss over the actual details and look at black or white. When I was religious, I prayed anytime I wanted to, no one had to tell me how to pray or when, and the bible told me that personal prayer was good, but group, organized prayer is not acceptable anyway. But our religious nuts can't seem to equate freedom from forced prayer to freedom to practice religion as YOU see fit.

Oh, and by the way, there is no god, each of the various religions, even the various sects within a religion, worships a different god concept. But they are all mythology, manmade religion that has worn out its welcome.

Answer 10

You know, every time there is a school shooting, someone claims that it's because "God is not allowed in schools" without ever backing that statement up with facts, correlations, or any kind of data. The Bible and guns have no place in school, and that's the way it's gonna stay.
